When I Don’t Write

When I don’t write

I feel like I’m losing my mind

Like the thoughts in my head have nowhere to go

When I don’t write

I feel stuck. I feel lost

Searching for meaning in empty spaces

Looking everywhere else but within

It was drizzling today

I had hot chocolate

My tongue is still slightly numb

It was way too hot, and I didn’t wait

I’ve been learning to let lightness in

To make space for happy things

My past is a grey blur

My present doesn’t have to be

I annoyed my cat again today

He bit me gently

To ask me to stay away

I need to learn to respect his personal space

Friend shaped but not a friend

He tolerates me, and I adore him

I keep bringing him to my room

Only for him to leave

He’s my best friend, and I’m not his

Sometimes he is kind to me

He lets me hold him close

For a few minutes

I cherish those moments

His soft fur on my face

But today, I’m not lucky

If I try to get close to him again

I might get scratches

So let me go back

To the warmth of that hot chocolate.
