Hey there! It hasn't been long since my last post but I wanted to upload this one onto the site.
I wrote "Thinking Aloud" whilst traveling. It doesn't really matter where my destination was, nor what time it was.. nor what day it was. I genuinely did not care where I was at the time. I just know I had words spilling from my mind..and it felt good to finally have something positive on paper for a change.
Over the past few weeks, I've been constantly asked why my poetry lacks positivity, why it's either morbid or depressing. I went through a phase of sticking to the theme of "letting go" while writing my poems..which is obviously evident and pretty noticeable now that I think of it.
I had a few months where I felt eager to "just let go".. forgive and forget and all that.. but when I fell back into my own, supposedly comfortable, silence I found I couldn't just let go..I couldn't forgive or forget, I couldn't move on from where I was at. I didn't know where I was going, I had no alternative. And, in case you're unaware of how terrible a feeling that is; it's awful. It breaks both heart and mind. It's entrapment, within your own self. But that's over now... Thank God!
Anyway, this poem is more personal than it is creative.. You can listen to advice from others until you go deaf, but to truly understand the advice, you must experience. But sure, that goes for almost everything in life!
I hope you all like it, there are no dedications, but always remember: Think Positive! :)
Thinking Aloud
They say good things come
to those who wait,
So, see this as an opportunity
to start a clean slate.
Just take a moment
to breathe in the fresh air,
And only concentrate on those
who are actually there.
Do not analyse
the actions of those you love,
And never wait for solutions
from the kings that rule above.
Forgive yourself inside
and forget about the pain.
Just put a smile out to the world,
and the world will do the same.
