the_good_witch - Hello Poetry

Air full of mist, frozen trees and iced landscape. Tiny droplets trickling down my face Chill runs down my spine Cotton candy fog fills my eyes As I point ahead to the massive, tall hill. "That is the mountain I will move today" Pulled down my gloves, Shook of the brown rust, It is an impossible journey "and that is why I must"

Air full of mist, frozen trees and iced landscape. Tiny droplets trickling down my face Chill runs down my spine Cotton candy fog fills my eyes As I point ahead to the massive, tall hill. "That is the mountain I will move today" Pulled down my gloves, Shook of the brown rust, It is an impossible journey "and that is why I must"

I locked the door myself today, The house was left alone. I flipped all the switches Folded the dresses and pants The lights were turned off, And off I went. I stepped in the dingy elevator Two posters on either side of the wall There was an old man beside me We both pressed zero. in a minute I was on the ground floor. In one hand I had my phone The other held a glass bottle shiny I waltzed to the near by station, Slow paced, my eyes curious wide open I looked at the people I passed, I heard a thud and a terrifying crash I prayed for everyone’s safety The sun shined kindly And gently I reached my destination at last It was different because I locked the door By myself today, no one in the house. I walked more responsibly I smiled light frequently I saw a dog leap As I saw the cat pounce I locked the door by myself today I did not play any music, I felt like the owner of the house It was but brick and tar with beds inside In my pocket I put the keys If I had a pet I would wash it for fleece If I had a kid, I would take them with me If I had a lover, I would kiss them in their sleep But today, it was just the house and me I locked the door by myself today And I stepped in to build a life for me. I was set free.

I locked the door by myself

I locked the door myself today, The house was left alone. I flipped all the switches Folded the dresses and pants The lights were turned off, And off I went. I stepped in the dingy elevator Two posters on either side of the wall There was an old man beside me We both pressed zero. in a minute I was on the ground floor. In one hand I had my phone The other held a glass bottle shiny I waltzed to the near by station, Slow paced, my eyes curious wide open I looked at the people I passed, I heard a thud and a terrifying crash I prayed for everyone’s safety The sun shined kindly And gently I reached my destination at last It was different because I locked the door By myself today, no one in the house. I walked more responsibly I smiled light frequently I saw a dog leap As I saw the cat pounce I locked the door by myself today I did not play any music, I felt like the owner of the house It was but brick and tar with beds inside In my pocket I put the keys If I had a pet I would wash it for fleece If I had a kid, I would take them with me If I had a lover, I would kiss them in their sleep But today, it was just the house and me I locked the door by myself today And I stepped in to build a life for me. I was set free.

It's been two years since I took the blow It's been two years and everything has been hollow Of all the things that I lost, there are a few I miss the most. Here's how the list goes- My laugh, My smile My way with the world. My heart, My mind, My trust and My love. I have been waiting for things to be the same, I can't recognise who I am now, except for my name. and to tell you the truth, I have started to give up as well. I don't feel like finding things that might help me, I don't think anything can help me much. Only slightly. I have grown to dislike a lot of things. The list is long but here is some of it My face and the way my body works, My brain and how it does not know anything beyond its own sorrow. Neither of the lists have you on it, Frankly, to you, I have become quite indifferent I know the future is brighter without you but nothing bright seems to happen, I don't know what to do.

let the lash of the eye fall back into the air, let the body be weightless. let the voices die down, Let the grief be dense. All the light that once shone, let it be gone, Let it all be gone. Let the words go quiet, Let the body crumple up. Let the heart be silent, Let the organs collapse Let the mind give up. Let the breath be soaked in the weight

let it happen

let the lash of the eye fall back into the air, let the body be weightless. let the voices die down, Let the grief be dense. All the light that once shone, let it be gone, Let it all be gone. Let the words go quiet, Let the body crumple up. Let the heart be silent, Let the organs collapse Let the mind give up. Let the breath be soaked in the weight

I thought I would text you  About the people who troubled you,  About the girl who called twice and texted Just to gloat, made you feel rejected. I thought I would text you  About how you are so much more  Than what they tell you or,  how they make you feel. I thought I would text you "You are so far above—  Your brilliance in surplus." But I got lost.  In my own thoughts,  In my own insufficiency. There was a violent pause.  I closed my eyes. And  all I remember is—I got lost. In my own calculations,  of how I fall short  In everything I try.  I don’t try enough.  I never stretch my hands  For the stars or the sun. I gritted my teeth;  Like ice, I got frozen . I tried to list my reasons,  make a report—  But I felt smaller than an ant,  And I got lost. I nail my feet to the ground,  Afraid to think of the sky.  I don’t know how much  Of my fear is truth, How much a lie. I was thinking about trying to save you. With my words and small things I could do But then I got lost—  in how everyone  reaches higher heights, While I just seem to be falling down. Step by step  Thud, thud, thud. Silence.

I am sorry I did not text

I thought I would text you  About the people who troubled you,  About the girl who called twice and texted Just to gloat, made you feel rejected.

But I got lost.  In my own thoughts,  In my own insufficiency. There was a violent pause.  I closed my eyes. And  all I remember is—I got lost. In my own calculations,  of how I fall short  In everything I try.  I don’t try enough.  I never stretch my hands  For the stars or the sun. I gritted my teeth;  Like ice, I got frozen . I tried to list my reasons,  make a report—  But I felt smaller than an ant,  And I got lost.

I would call you when my day begins, I would call you when it ends. I would call you and sing my favourite song. I would call you when I miss your soft hands. I would go on an evening walk and take you along I would call you when I feel alone. I would smile every time I touch my phone, I would call you on the way back home. I would call you when I feel uncomfortable I would call you when I'm bored. I would talk to you for hours. I would call you when I am at a party I don't wanna attend. I would call you when I feel sick. But you are not here for now, So I just hold my heart and I make a wish.

I used to spend so much of my time thinking if I'm too little, not enough. or if I am too much. I don't try to fit myself into perfect amounts now. Instead, I just let you go.

I used to believe that in order to let love in, you let in, in your heart, the people who carry it. But today, as I waved you goodbye, and I let you go, let you go, I realised. Love also comes from people leaving. Love also comes from letting go. I used to believe that in order to let love in, you share as much of it as you can, with people you hold close But today, as I waved you goodbye, and I let you go, let you go, I realised. Love also comes from not holding on Love also comes when some people are gone

Love finds a way

I used to believe that in order to let love in, you let in, in your heart, the people who carry it. But today, as I waved you goodbye, and I let you go, let you go, I realised. Love also comes from people leaving. Love also comes from letting go.

Born with a small twitching body, with a small soft face living a small life, Repulsed, filled with rage and hate. One day i will wake up and do something great. Extraordinary, truly remarkable, Etch something coarse on the parchment of fate, One day i will wake up, Unforgettable, and do something great. Write a list of the big differences I can make, Go deep, scratch all my dreams' buried surface Maybe one day little things will add to a lot, The fears will fade, I will do something great.

Do something great

Born with a small twitching body, with a small soft face living a small life, Repulsed, filled with rage and hate. One day i will wake up and do something great. Extraordinary, truly remarkable, Etch something coarse on the parchment of fate, One day i will wake up, Unforgettable, and do something great. Write a list of the big differences I can make, Go deep, scratch all my dreams' buried surface Maybe one day little things will add to a lot, The fears will fade, I will do something great.

How long Can one wait For life to begin? For miracles to occur, for love to unwrap and for strength come. How long Have you Already waited? with your heart in your palm, open to the world. with the twinkle in your eye, staring down at the earth. with your voice quieted to a whisper, with your anomalies hidden in a shameful corner. For the world to be kinder, for its touch to be softer.

How long?

How long Can one wait For life to begin? For miracles to occur, for love to unwrap and for strength come. How long Have you Already waited? with your heart in your palm, open to the world. with the twinkle in your eye, staring down at the earth. with your voice quieted to a whisper, with your anomalies hidden in a shameful corner. For the world to be kinder, for its touch to be softer.
