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 ((:

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2.

I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k.
