This brief collection of two poems can be interpreted differently depending on the reader. Both explain the way one’s perspective on anything will change after a certain realization.
Values change when one completes
Busy thoughts, an occupied mind.
It’s never about indifference, the silence, or flight.
Radiant lights, just like imitated expressions of false euphoria.
It’s not about differences,
Nor all the things you could’ve done right.
Flashbacks twined with one another
I see closeness within the crowd
Like a childhood plush bear it is
Torn, flawed.
Forever to ignore a wholeness of what is,
would ache more than to be without.
Never the forgetfulness, but how unforgettable you make it,
What a difference, now to see the bright.
Forget the flaws, they’re not what breaks it,
Seeing all that you’ve done right.
Restful thoughts, and now a peaceful mind.
Mental Amity
It would leave me empty, far from trust for time ahead.
Away from no doubt and back into the tightness of a heart
How sights have changed from murky snow to blooms instead.
Realizations flowed, water streamed
Her presence never caused the haste of my unease
It was the absence of displayed reality and a character to be set free.
To see a piece of us presented by another
For them to proclaim the us we couldn’t dare to be.
To mistake hate for jealousy of a she I never knew
Who did me no wrong, they’re just there to let you see
Through experience of the unexpressed you grew.
Now it leaves me gently, emotions readjust to amity instead.
Thank you Malika. Creative. Wondering.
