The Small Mundane Things

Sometimes I feel lost 
Lost within my thoughts
Within my mind 
I find myself 
Without words
Without thoughts 
As the world spins 
and I spin with it
As people carry on 
with their lives
As I live unaware of the battles 
other people are silently fighting

My mind is empty of the worries
that plague the young mind 
As the world grows older
And we do too
Sometimes I, we go against
our better judgment as people 
to simply stop,
and enjoy the small mundane things
that make this life worth living

When the world seems to spin to fast
leaving you in its wake
Sometimes it's better to leave your mind empty 
free of all prejudices, and thoughts
For we all have no idea of the battles others are fighting
Sometimes it takes being free of thoughts 
to think of things from a new perspective
that allows you to see
That we are all human
Spinning alongside everyone else.

  • Before.

    I'm so lost.
    These past few weeks,
    Months, even.
    Have left me empty,
    Haphazardly pieced together. 

    I'm no longer the girl I once was.
    A shell, A shadow
    Of the one who laughed,
    The one who cried,
  • A letter

    Dear, 
    We've been friends since, well forever
    And sometimes it feels like 
    You understand 
    More than anyone else 
    So similar, in mind and body
    We liked to dream 
  • What they see

    They see the girl
    with the perfect life
    who never worries 
    never cries
    what they don’t see
    the girl with who struggles 
    who’s pain is invisible
    from the surface

    She fights to get through each day
