I’m proud of myself for making the first step today. Talking to S gave me a new outlook. I am glad (and thankful) for having an understanding soul like her in my life. Hopefully it will put me on the road to recovery and let me find back my old bubbly self.
I never realised before that I could get a good view of sunset from my home office. A soothing sight that eases the mind…I was instantly inspired to pen this.
Twilight
by Geri Tan
Standing by the window
To catch a glimpse of twilight
Reminiscing the old days
When we were flying kite
Squabbling like little kids
Sometimes we did fight
Baking chocolate chip cookies
We couldn’t wait to take a bite
You were once a poet
I was an aspiring playwright
Laughing over silly jokes
Our smiles were always bright
One day we found a stray kitten
We brought home and held it tight
Hiding it in boxes
Afraid someone would catch sight
Times were happier then
We always made things right
When the bullies came
We always show our might
Such a simpler life
Is now an oversight
I hope to relive life again
So it is not a sorry plight

I enjoyed reading this. You wrote this? It’s beautiful!
Yep, I wrote this as well as all the other poems published on here. It’s a good way to express thoughts and let out steam, particularly therapeutic for me to use words to document what I’m going through or have gone through. Glad you had a good read. More to come 🙂
