In a poem, well sort of.

I do wait.
No matter how many times I tell myself, it means nothing.
I keep on waiting. For a notification to pop up. From a certain person.
I do feel.
No matter how many zillion times I show other people I'm numb.
I keep on crying staring at the ceiling fan going round and round. At night when everybody is asleep. The light is only lit in my room.
I whisper to my heart. Can you beat without taking orders from my neurons?
I question my being.
I question my honesty and innocence.
I sink into oblivion
And in a long pause, I barely feel anything. I barely do anything. I'm just there.
In flesh, bones and blood, lying on bed, face soaking wet and barely got a hang of this life.
The earth is spinning, I wish sometimes I could feel the spins from the ground.
The gravity they say keeps us from floating, but I want to float.
I want my tears to bubble up and fly in the air.
My being is still a question mark
As I exhale a deep breath in the dark
I close my eyes and try to forget every little thought that finds me back
I try to forget all the sorrows I feel.
I seek out my blanket in the dark and curl up like a cat
Life isn't the way I thought it would be
As the days pass by, as the years pass by, my sorrows are only built block by block
getting stronger and making me weaker.
I want God to help me if He exists
I whisper a prayer in the most casual way
Adding words of desperation and cries
Praying for a shorter life.
I am scared.
Of losing what I haven't lost yet.
I am scared of becoming the last person to live.
I want to be the first.
But I also want to see what my eyes haven't seen, my hands haven't touched, my hair hasn't brushed
New country, new air, new ground. These are made of dreams, I speak to myself. Dreams. Stop it.
Shut your eyes, focus on sleep.
How can I want to die and live at the same time?
That's simple. You're not happy. End of discussion. Now sleep.
It's not that important, is it? As long as you have a roof over your head.
Food on the table. Your sadness is a luxury. An extra vehicle that sits in the garage.
Now sleep, close your eyes, you don't need to feel your emotions, just shove them down your throat, dispose them.
Love, you have to go away, I have no one for you.
Smiles. You gotta stick, I need you sometimes to fake.
Voice, you're comfortable inside.
Thoughts. Don't linger.
Legs, don't curl.
Hands, don't fist
Eyes, go back to sleep.

I sink into oblivion. Again.
I wake up at noon to my mom shouting "I gave birth to a Satan"
And my dad saying how I am gonna get all the dreadful diseases because I skip breakfast.
My brother spraying water at me for me to leave the bed.
I know they all cares. I know in all the spite there's love hidden somewhere.
I know but they don't. I care too. They think I am numb but I have all sorts of feelings.

Feelings to be written in poems, in journal entries but never spoken out loud.
How typical of a girl.

spring is almost here

Hi B,  Season is changing. The hard days are almost over.  The city I live in has turned so beautiful, I get overwhelmed by the beauty.  Tulips are in. Cherry blossoms are blossoming.  Magnolia, Beautiful white flowers, name unknown to me.  Taking a walk out feels like a celebration of life.  It feels like I'm falling in love with the city.  I remember when I first moved here 2 years ago, the excitement and the crippling anxiety of starting a new life from scratch. Now, after 2 years, I feel a warmth and love for the place.  I don't know if I would feel the same when the winter comes though. Seasonal depression is no joke.  My new mantra for life now is to chill.  Praise the nature and find pretty little corners in the city.  Write poems.  Paint, maybe.  Seek positivity.  Love. Be kind to self. No rush. Read books. Just flow.

long distance again

 I came back from my trip. It was amazing 2 weeks of my life. Seeing him again after so long felt strange yet peaceful. I finally got to be in his arms again. 2 weeks flew by and now I am back home and back to work and normal hustle and bustle of life.  He got an extension offer and decided to stay for another 3 months. It is sad because he was supposed to be back next month. He asked me if he should take it and despite having my heart aching I supported him in the decision. It is not confirmed yet but he probably be staying another 3. Another 5 months of long distance. How am I going to survive the winter by myself? I don't know. Honestly, in my heart, I don't care about how much compensation he be getting. I miss him so much and this long distance thing is killing me inside. Today is Friday night and instead of cuddles and movie, I am home alone. No plans to look forward. No one to talk to. I am the loneliest girl on earth right now. He is probably sleeping and not picking u...

winter together

 Dear B,  Sorry I've been so MIA. Here's the update you missed - My husband came back! He wasn't approved for those 3 months of extension. I've been getting enough cuddles and kisses to survive this winter.  Yes, winter is here. Never underestimate the Canadian winter. It's the worst. Everything is grey and dark. However, I am looking forward to going home in March. I'm so excited to see my friends again. Most importantly my parents and brother. It feels a strange kind of feeling. I am planning to 'visit' the place I was born and call home. It is definitely a new kind of feeling.  Things been okay. We are okay. I am glad to have him back.  We bought a new couch and a coffee table. It's still in back order and I'm impatiently waiting for them to arrive.  Can't believe only 4 days left to 2026. Time is flying so quick. Hope we talk again, B. I swear I missed you!
