Poetry Tuesday: My Mind

Hello readers,

"I love the rain because no one sees me crying. I love the wind because I can close my eyes and know everything will eventually be okay."

My Mind

By day my mind...

is everywhere else but here;

I push on and as I do another part

I blank...

not remembering, not thinking

I still push on, but that special someone

notices the look I have

"you've had enough."

just take a break.

A true, fresh from the heart poem written right when school let out. Insha'Allah, I'll have a better day.

InshaAllah you will.
And when you feel like your mind and everything is so TIRED; you need a break honey.
Have some 'me' time every night. Just for yourself.
Have your favourite icecream/chocolate bar while you lie on your bed and think about good times. Or simply go for a walk and appreciate something new. Let your mind wander.
'not all who wander are lost'... maybe they're just finding something instead.

Keep Smiling Fida,through your poetry, your words and comments - I think you're truly beautiful sis. <3 ((:

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
