"things that make me cry"


a poem for the purpose of emotional release #2


things that make me cry

Burn (the OG version) from the musical Hamilton makes me cry
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story from the musical Hamilton makes me cry
The last twenty minutes of Scarlet Heart Ryeo makes me cry
Aelin Galathynius being tortured in KoA makes me cry
Unjustly marked papers make me cry
Biased teachers make me cry
preludes and fugues make me cry
misunderstandings make me cry
waiting for season three makes me cry
pollen makes me cry
breakup scenes in romantic movies make me cry
death makes me cry

"a longing."


a poem for the purpose of emotional release #1


a 
longing.
yet the path to where—
unclear
searching, searching—
for what?
I forget.
remind me
When the camellias sing
songs of fate
ghosts, 
whisper and laugh

But it's not forever, it's now.

24 hours in 1 day. 1440 minutes in 24 hours. 86400 seconds in 1440 minutes.
Time seems to be in abundance, just like the flowers popping up and pollen spreading around currently at the blossoming of springtime. But why are we always not having enough of it? Probably because of procrastination and the watching of Netflix.


I thought about the past month, especially the time during school, and noticed recently a lot more stress that was leading to myself looking at everything in a negative view; as a burden or hard work, and I ended up watching a lot of videos and checking ig and all those social outlets. Then I look back to a year ago, where I never was a big procrastinator.

Therefore, I challenge myself to a goal for this October. (I know, I know, I never set goals) So, I thought, if I set a small task to complete every week, write a small paragraph, poem, anything about my thoughts and/or feelings on the week on this (probably) private blog, it gives me a chance for release, an outlet like a diary. It probably won't be very detailed, I think something like a short poem of a couple of words, just a brief description would be fine. Word vomits or 'stream of consciousness' will probably be used more often because I just want to write what's there in my mind instead of directing where each word should go. so... yah.

I know this goal will probably fail after a short two weeks or less (´⊙ω⊙`)!, but, like the title of this post, "But it's not forever, it's now." That quote was from Turtles All The Way Down by John Green which I read a couple of days ago. It was pretty lit! So, I guess this will be my motto for this week, because if I think now, I believe I can go on for more nows.

o-kay, so maybe I should start (i don't actually really know what i'm writing about ;)
