i'm not one for romance
mikah Feb 2020

not writing
not comedies
and-god forbid-in public.


but with you
i understand the appeal.

hello?

i miss you.

i miss your hands in mine.
i miss the crinkle of your eyes when you smile.
i miss running through hotel halls.
i miss racing and beating you again and again.
i miss what i felt.


i miss the way things were.

that's what i would've said
had he opened his front door.
different sorta piece from a yearlong heartbreak. glad to say i don't feel this way anymore, but this piece still holds a lot of emotion for me!

i have discovered who i am
i am not the product of my
          parents beliefs
                trauma
                    tribulations
i am my own person
with my own
           life
             beliefs
                 aspirations
my heart is
        lighter
            fuller
                free
i haven't written poetry because i've had no need for it.
it was an outlet for
               sadness
                    pain
                       desperation
and although i still feel all of that,
i have found
        people
             friends
                  lovers
who help me handle it.
i am happier than i've ever been
and so eternally
          grateful
               proud
                   overjoyed
that i lived. even when it was
             painful
                  useless
                       impossible
i fought to live. i fought to love.
              and
                  i
                  did
thank you.
