this is the last time
I lose sleep over you

the last time
my dreams don't come true

cause I'm done
making other people happy

stop stealing my joy
you don't have power over me

I'm giving you a yellow page
so tape it to your face

this is my final notice
the rest of you I erase

it never stops

now that people
are paid so much

to do it

I want to turn
it off

but I don’t

it feeds my mind
it diseases my mind

it doesn’t make
me think

it doesn’t give me
space to think

it stops me from
thinking

it makes me drink

no one knows
the future

but we all talk
like we do

now I

let go
and let in

the soft
thoughts

the warm
rain

the spray
of silly
string

the deep
breath before

whispering
a secret

to a friend

the blankets
pulled over
my head

the cushion forts
the snow angels

the almost

naked dancing
in the dark

Simple interests
Complex values
Evaluating
Desired profits
Loss of interests
Principal principles lost

I don’t like making and attending calls
Love my folks from the  depths of my heart
I don’t like to chat, typing makes me go mad
I prefer making a call

Contrasting feelings
Not trying to run away

Just can’t handle calls
Speakers are good
Nothing to my ears

But communication is the key
Sometimes folks do understand

Wrote this a few months ago, but now makes me think, still don’t like calls, but have been making them to check on loved ones!

Safe in a lockdown
Psychological keys in a maze
If you have a life, you have the world
(जान है तो जहाँ है) - Hindi quote, which I am reminded of today

A thought that crossed my mind, that  people may suffer anxiety and depression in isolation.
But also need to keep in mind, to be able to walk free again,, you need to live.
My thoughts with anyone going through stress, also a reminder to self!
Take care of mental health, soon we will get back to our Pre virus 🦠 life!
Best wishes and love
