PRETTY SKIES TEARY EYES

A PICTURE I PROUDLY TOOK ON HOLIDAY LAST YEAR :P

(SORT OF THE INSPO FOR THIS POST :))

I don't know why but lately i noticed that a lot of my friends have gone into writing as a hobby and they especially write (sad girl/insightful/relatable) poems (and they are damn good! like actually really good!) and that sort of sparked the little writer in me to do something as well! I am a sucker for good poetry hehe even if i don't always admit it lol :)

we all know that someone who stops and sighs

who stares with awe at the sight before them

always trying their hardest 

to comprehend the wonders of this world

or perhaps not trying at all

she then looks up

she squints and smiles

as the clouds gently shift around her

she thinks "how nice it would be to stay here forever"

she pulls out her battery operated cracked screen lifesaver

and thinks twice

she thinks again

and again and again and again

she stops herself 

she slips it back into her favourite tote

the one she lugs around everywhere she goes

the one that she took the time to patiently embroider 

with little quirky designs that somehow boosts her serotonin 

with taylor swift playing in the background

what could go wrong? 

anything could go wrong

everything could go wrong

those silent words bounce in her head

remaining unsaid

she snaps herself back

relieve springs off her shoulders 

as she narrowly avoided another spiral

thoughts going down and down and down

tightening around her neck

so tight that it makes breathing difficult

a chore

a hassle

an extra thought she has to think about

in and out

in and out

in and out and in and out

she calms down

she snaps out of it

she reminds herself

it is okay

everything will be okay

she forgets herself

all the time

she looks up again at the pretty sky with teary eyes

as the sun fills her sockets and threatens her sight

she winces and closes them for a bit

in and out

she feels reassured now

she feels better

slightly better than before 

she smiles and walks away

she always thought the sky to be comforting 

breathtaking

something she relies on

to find herself again

 

So yea that's my poem!! I named it "Pretty Skies Teary Eyes" and I'm proud of the title! I'm honestly surprised and really proud of myself for this! I just wrote this at once without referencing a rhyming website or wtv lol while listening to the queen taylor swift of course (i'm starting to like her music a lot more now)!! 

Thank you so much for reading all the way here! I really hope this manage to resonate with someone! I enjoyed writing it even though it isn't that good heh :)) Write again soon!! 

XOXO ANNABEL
