A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 19

Day 19: “Reframe”

My brain is tired

Our apartment has bugs

Silverfish, the grossest kind

We still need to finish putting together furniture

So we can finally be moved in

5 months later

But

I did the dishes the other night,

With few complaints

My cat has been cuddly

And my partner and I are watching “Temptation Island”

It’s been a good week so far

Day 18: “Tomorrow’s Tomorrow”

I’m in a constant battle with productivity

I’m tired, okay

It makes it hard to want to do

Annyyythinnnggg

So the dishes pile up in the sink

And I put off a shower

And I take a nap that turns into 8 hours

I’ll get to everything tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day

Which tomorrow will actually be the day?

My partner told me I should take a social media break

My mom said I should take more vitamin b

Maybe that will fix me

Day 16: “Tell Me”

Tell me why

My heart palpitates

And races

For seemingly no reason

Tell me why

I get stressed

Because the kitchen towel

Isn’t where it should be

Tell me why

I can’t handle conflict

It stresses me out

When people disrespect me

Because I know that addressing it

Will be uncomfortable

Tell me why

I forget to breathe

And I get a headache

Because my brain isn’t getting the oxygen it needs

Tell me why

I neglect myself

When I’m busy

Or am talking to others

Or am doing literally anything

Tell me why

It’s so hard

To find the energy

To do anything

Tell me how

To fix it

Day 15: “Here We Go Again”

Last night I went to one of

Maybe the best

Concert of my life

I had the perfect view

I could see him between two people’s heads

The ultimate window

My partner and I were singing

And dancing along to all of the songs

I’ve wanted to see him in concert for so long

This time it almost didn’t happen

I waited in the presale

And didn’t get a ticket

SOLD OUT

But by a miracle

And capitalism

They added another show

And two tickets went straight to my Apple wallet

Got a Long Island iced tea

But with ginger ale because they were out of diet coke

And it wasn’t half bad

Had the perfect buzz

During the perfect songs

With the perfect person

Kansas Anymore

The album

Changed my life

And reopened my eyes to a nostalgia I haven’t felt in a while

I click my heels

And I’m blissful

Happy

I fell headfirst

For the ambience

For the music

For my man

His arms wrapped around my waist as we sang and kissed

And vibed

I didn’t want it to end

When we got home, we searched for more Role Model shows

Looks like we’re going on the road

Day 13: “Boredom is the Real Sickness”

She’s indecisive

She can’t decide

I’m bored

I simultaneously want to watch everything and nothing at the same time

I want to read

I need to do laundry

But I have no energy

Maybe I should just sleep

But I just woke up

What do you do when you’re sick?

I settled on watching “Frozen“
