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 ((:

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers, I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved.
