Getting up in the morning and holding myself tight,
this is how i make my mornings bright.
Somedays i am the only person i meet,
but on the others, to myself, I get no time to greet!
on those days,
when locking myself in the room and giving birth to a new poem seems like a pipe dream,
I like to embrace the writer in me by working with strangers as a team
and completing a haiku online or sometimes even making up a meme.
on those days,
when reading seems to be a “Ferrero-rocher-luxury” with the little “orange-candy-time” I have,
and I can’t get my hands on a new book,
I settle for the #poetsofinstagram, open my favourite microfiction page
and intrigue myself by taking a look.
on those days,
when I don’t get time for “Netflix and chill” with my soda can in one hand
and in the other a big, puffy bag of chips,
I rush through lunch stuffing edibles between my lips,
substituting a 2-hour-movie with a 5-minute-clip
of little Emma’s giggles while her parents jam on her favourite lullaby, “I like big butts and I cannot lie”!
But in between all that,
I like to stand in front of the bathroom mirror and smile at myself,
taking a little time off of my pee breaks,
Tossing my hair up in a bun I remind myself,
“don’t you worry darling, you have got what it takes”!
Its always a pleasure to read your stuff. Keep going like this.:) ✌
