First Date

Becca Pow

1 min read

I quickly scrambled into the house

Nervously rambling about what I got at the store

After longingly talking on the phone for months

He slowly closed the door


We passionately kissed, It felt surprisingly natural

After virtually bonding online

The time slowly passed, the day finally arrived

And now this love was perfectly mine...

Anxiety

He barks and shakes and cries

He feels unsafe


Love

He licks and cuddles and jumps

He feels attached...

Survival

Becca Pow

1 min read

I hate to see you suffer

Struggling to stay alive

You’re in such pain

And just trying to survive


Depression is a bastard

Putting lies inside your head

I know you don’t believe me

But you’re being misled


This invisible sickness

Makes you feel so bad

I don’t know how to help you

It makes me so mad


I hope when we’re together

It helps sooth your brain

I’m not trying to fix you

I just hope to e...

Betrayal

Becca Pow

1 min read

Have I betrayed myself?

I said I’d never fall in love again

Now I’ve done it and it’s bringing me stress


Why is there such a lure to love?

When I’m out of it I swear I’ll never go back

But then the feeling is so good I can’t help myself


Are the good times worth the stress and anxiety of it all?

This one was supposed to be different

And it is in so many ways

But I’m still finding myself falling...

Resentment

Becca Pow

1 min read

Five damn years

Why does it take me so long

To finally do what’s best for me


I told myself I wouldn’t do this again

I thought this time is different

But really you’re the same as him


I’m embarrassed of you both

So dysfunctional in different ways

How can someone like me get sucked down by people so lame


I get so hung up on sticking to the plan

I think this is as good as it’s gonna get


I have to...

Happily ever after

Becca Pow

1 min read

Is this just a temporary love?

Is there such thing as happily ever after?

Can we make this thing work?

Or are we setting ourselves up for disaster?


I love you so much

But is it realistic?

Neither of us wants to move

The thought of it makes me sick


Our perfect ending seems just out of reach

But one of us would be unhappy

I don’t know what to do I have to be patient

But I can’t help getting too sa...

Unromantic Life

Becca Pow

1 min read

Sometimes I just feel so tired

I have so many things to do

I try to romanticize my life

But I can’t do this too


I want to work out I want to be meditate

But my brain doesn’t have the capacity

I end up doing the bare minimum

And wishing that I had less apathy...

Mysterious

Becca Pow

1 min read

The darkness is so mysterious

It gives me such a scare

Being in it alone

Makes me so aware


That the world is a scary place

That I find it hard to trust

I’m trying to be more open

But I’m barely breaking through the crust...

Romantic

Becca Pow

1 min read

Isn’t it romantic?

Finding love in quarantine

I don’t think this would have happened

Without the help of this tragic scene


I hate to appreciate

Something so awful

But it opened my eyes

And I am so thankful


I’m so happy to have found you

My favorite love

We ended up together

Just needed a shove...

Belonging

Becca Pow

1 min read

For a while I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere

I felt I couldn’t be myself

I was trying to be this version of me

It wasn’t true and I needed help


I needed a wake up call

The pandemic helped me see this

I realized that my relationship was bad

I must stop trying to be his


I opened my eyes

I could finally see

I needed to drop this dead weight

So I could finally be me...
