I am sorry for the things that were not poetry and not true about people of my town.
For that I ask forgiveness. I lost my mind during that summer. I am back and I plan on not losing my mind this time. Though people of my town still treat mental illnesses and sexualities as insanities. That is true. I have a new job. My mental health have improved a lot. So hello poetry. I missed you guys.
I am still the same me. Poetic, strong, smart and brave.
My new job has less drama than working at a gas station.
I am working at a thrift store. Much better than a gas station.
My coworkers are fun to hangout with.
And I love my job. Nothing is better than that.
I am not ashamed to be a bisexual poet.
Writing is freeing and therapeutic.
Poetry is home.

the darkness was my home
and again I returned here,
but this time it's familiar
and i ain't scared anymore.
Darkness is beautiful just like a bright day ...

Him
i looked at him and smiled ,
he looked at her and smiled.
it was fine for a while
but then she went too far
and no confessions left a sore scar.
atleast i can see him but he doesn't smile anymore,
they would be such a good couple only if he confessed before.
someone can be so much in love, like how??
he'll wait for her ,i know somehow...
but still I can't let go as my heart won't allow.

Why do I still think maybe the reason I never confessed my feelings
is the same reason he might have stopped himself too..
It's all in my head but I wanna get over everything 🤝
