It's peaceful today
No overwhelming emotions
Trying to leak out

It seems balanced
Life is not perfect
But it's not chaos
Despite everything happening right now, today seems normal. For that I am happy and thankful

The more poems I write
The more I realize

They help me
Give a name to
The sea of emotions
brewing in my mind

Once they have a name
They can be understood

I’ve had this recurring
Dream ever since i
Was young

There was an infinite row of
Spanish Style houses
Cool and fresh air
Whistled through the
Palm trees
Sun's warmth coated me
Like a warm hug
There was no noise or clutter
Just peace

I felt at home,
At ease
In that paradise

I don't want to be happy
I want to be content

Happiness is too fleeting
Dependent on
neurotransmitters

Contentment on the other hand
Is more viable
It's being thankful for where you are
And with what you have
Without getting too comfortable
In that place

It’s going a little too fast
I am desperately trying
To find the reduce speed button
But it’s nowhere to be found

Fog
There is a barrier
Of deep fog
That I know I need
to go through

My fear is not of the fog
But of what is residing there

Are there monsters
From my nightmares
Or is there the peace
That I’ve been dreaming about
I wrote this poem a couple months ago when I was finishing up my last semester and thinking about this uncertainty of my future. However, This poem also touches the uncertainty I’m sure we’re all feeling right now. Questions have been coming up in my mind like “will we get through this?” and “ how will the end of this pandemic look like?”

Have we gendered the earth
As a female
So we can control
And own her?
