21/F I don't write often, and what I do write is personal and emotional. Poetry is sorta a way for me to cry if that makes sense
I need to speak and I need to cry I don't know what about But these nights I spend sobbing at the thought of you cant mean nothing Have I lost a piece of me? how could I ever lose that how could it ever forget how to start a proper fire or how to love and respect the earth and eachother how to be brave and strong How to be fearless and strange I don't know why I cry I guess I just miss you

Dear dad
A silver and gold watch on the livingroom floor I want it Not because of greed But because it's on the floor Because I want to ask my mom where she got it And when And how What it means to her Was it her mother's? A gift? A piece of her past I don't want living on the floor If I can fix it and wear it for her If I can save all our family photos And frame people I don't know I don't know Maybe it won't disappear Though it already has

Unwilling heirloom
The day has ended Another day Another chance Gone down the drain Every moment is a possibility A blessing A promise So who am I to do nothing with it Maybe tomorrow I say to myself But it'll just be another day

Another day
I hide my face in my mask And close my eyes slightly Just enough to only have my eyelashes in vision They remind me of my femininity I feel iv lost sight of it recently The cool February breeze blesses my ears and face The mask won't protect me, but I don't mind It's not warm, but completely depleted of the harsh numbness it had given my fingers yesterday It feels comforting, but weirdly hollow I feel a moment of bliss Then pull my mask down to the bridge of my nose and finish my test

Momentary bliss
I smell my mom's hair, trying to memorize her warmth I shed tears for a moment that hasn't come and feel loss for a person I haven't lost yet I write down my grandparents' words, learning their wisdom so their knowledge won't die with them Planning and hurrying for a day that doesn't exist yet I recite my dad's words, Thinking of how much I'll miss them, How much they mean to me I day dream of sitting at a grave I prepare myself for the sadness to come, hoping the tears I shed now will lessen the ones to fall later But all I can imagine when I sit at that grave, is wondering why I spent that time mourning instead of laughing with them My Nana told me once, you could have 100 years with someone and you still wouldn't be ready for them to leave I think I'll cry even harder when that day comes And my memories of them will be sorrow
