those days that make you want to be elsewhere
those days you make a spur of the moment decision that could determine the path to your future...
those days when comfort is under a warm blanket.
those days when the sun hits your cheeks and the wind mazes through your hair...
those days when you think about someone, and wonder if they're thinking about you.
those days when you want to tell everyone to fuck off...
those days when solitude feels like home, and loneliness is painful...
to the ones that feel the loneliness sometimes, even when you know you're not alone, even when you know you are loved and love greatly, i see you. i hear you. i feel you. i love you, too.
“I have my mother’s mouth and my father’s eyes; on my face they are still together.”
“You are terrifying and strange and beautiful, someone not everyone knows how to love.”
“The ego hurts you like this: you become obsessed with the one person who does not love you. Blind to the rest who do.”
“My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude.”
–Warsan Shire
so far from the distant shore / the only time she never feels alone
on the land, her body distorts / in the water, lines are true to her mind
she knows she'll never touch the floor / she can float unharmed by murky wars
and the land is as plain as her skin / but the water shines like the star in her mind
they will never understand / how washed up you feel on land
the spotlight of the sun, it shines on
