goodbyes

ThinkingOfThoughts

1 min read

(Tried something along the sides of free verse, but I’m not too sure how it came along. An attempt at best.)

Hellos and greetings

‘See ya’s and farewells

And yet something seems too final about a goodbye

Nothing like a ‘till we meet again’

Goodbyes never said are written in stone

A burden on your shoulders

A weighted crown

For the one you loved

Is lying six feet under

In the ground

And that is a...

Sometimes I wish

I didn’t know the world

The crimes and death

I wish I was but a little girl

Now my eyes have been opened

Read the news, watch our phones

We finally know what the

Worst of us come from

And what goes around, comes around

It’s a weird feeling,

this vice around my chest

Because it’s not sadness,

Not fear, not anger

It’s regret

I feel regret for the actions

Caused by not my owns hands...

Sometimes I feel like

I’m always playing catch up

With somebody else

And then sometimes I feel like I am

4 years ahead

Time flies by and slowly I

Start hating myself

And then for a week and couple days

I feel utterly content

Ignorance is bliss

Or so they say

But if I’m ignorant

How can I know if I’m truly normal, truly ok?

Sometimes I struggle

And wish I never let something go

But then I realize ...

The burden of memory

Is a strong one to bear

And what really strikes me

Is that it isn’t fair

It isn’t fair

My worst memory is

not something I did

But rather something worse,

Something I witnessed

It haunts my dreams

Made my belief in love crack

And now I hope to forget everything from that night

Do everything to push that memory back

They say it’s fine

It’s not truly trauma

But only I know

How ...

What does a child know

But of hunger

What does a couple know

But the love they have for each other

What do teenagers want

But to fit in

What do adult want,

But feel satisfied with their decisions

What do siblings know

But to annoy one another

And what do friends know

But laughter and cheer

What does time want

But to take things slow

And what does a mother want

But to see her kid grow

What does de...

Sometimes I forget

How easy it was to say hello to a stranger

But now that childish naïveté is gone

It’s over

As children the world was a playground

And we were meant to be wild

Nothing holding us back

No rules to abide

But now social media

Dominates it all

And more than we worry about our future

We wonder what everyone thinks of us

I didn’t think friends were supposed to be this hard

Jealousy pre...

It’s easy to get lost

Lost in the underworld

Because when you reach the abode of Hades

There is nothing but fear

Every single path

Is rocky and dark

And you never know where to turn

Where you should take a step back

The underworld of my thoughts

Is really quite similar

Hades would have a gall of a time

Appreciating the dark thoughts that fester

The maze of my thoughts

Is a narrow twisting path

This poem means a lot to me, and truly the words just appeared. We talk about death and horrors of 2025 like it’s a passing subject. With this poem I hoped to show that almost everyone we know is affected by a dark past, and everyone is just trying to survive in the ruthless world.

This stranger in the street

was yesterday friend

My closest confidant,

but there are always

a means to an end

clay to mold

I was the clay

You sat to mold

And in your embrace,

I was all you wanted

And more

And as you threw me

On the wheel

My edges became curves

And I was becoming pottery

A prized piece of art

Painted and fired

Set to stone in the kiln

Only to be admired

I was set on the very highest shelf

Put as an art gallery attraction

And when I was draped round your arm

That’s all I was, a piece

Of the latest fashi...

I put my hand in yours last night

As we sat on the hood of your car

And I wonder, was it just me

or did you feel a spark?

As you reversed, and tried to park

You hand came up behind my seat

And I remember your scent,

A mix of cinnamon and pine,

Something so soothing and woodsy.

Did I cross a line last night?

Maybe in my mind

Because in my wildest fantasies

You’ve fallen in love with me too.

Today ...
