2022, you are brutal
You kill me
You despise me
And make me feel
As if everything I did
Wasted
My efforts
My hard earned
Back to square one
2022, thank you
For a raise
I didn't deserve
You challenged me
Bombarded with
Struggle
And Over-time
But that's what
Growth demands
2022, you're still here
Laughing at me
While I rant
But I ain't giving up
Beyond limits I
Rise
& Shine
My silver lining
On the other side
Tag: Words
Everytime I pull myself up
You come knocking with lilies
I peep through the keyhole
And I know how I love it
I'd been longing for flowers
you sell the best ones too
I abstain opening the doors
For I'd stopped buying from you
The last time you traded
roses full of thorns
Has still got me bruises
From things I still adorn
Yet I open the door
End up buying those lilies
Through my bleeding hand
Creeps in the willies
Some days I think I am pulling myself together
And then there are nights like these
When it starts taking over
I sit back up and start praying
The clock keeps rushing you see
my 6 hour alarm turned to 3
I don't know what else to write
Or do, or how to sleep
If I don't let go now,
I'll never.
If I don't hurt now,
I'll forever.
I have too many shits to give already
I donβt intend to give no more
Gone is the time when every little critique
Pricked me right to the core
I burn in fumes for a second
It pinches as it should
Yet I donβt let myself succumb to it
I save my fuel for the good
I remember the time Iβd waste
Over guilts, mind at war
I rather be calm than impulsive
I know itβs not worth anymore
Iβm trying to overlook harsh words
When it haunts back too loud
I put them in a poem
Someday Iβd read out aloud
I know thereβs no ill intention
But words are powerful my friend
They cut through and heal
They're everything you do or donβt intend
Unchained
