I have no idea what it’s like to have to kill, to jump out of an airplane, to learn I have cancer. I spray lavender-vanilla mist on my pillow to help myself sleep. the hardest thing in my life was when my dad died. they tattooed little dots on his head to help them aim their rays. his hair started to fall out. luckily, he didn’t have much to lose.

things you lost this year.

your virginity. a keychain from your dead mother you kept in your pocket. your lucky pencil. luck in general. a pile of post-it notes that said fuck you, life and, my flowers don't grow anymore and, i'm not a flower and, i guess it doesn't matter because i'm still not growing. your guiding star, even though it was only on your ceilling. a sense of urgency. the belief things will get better. the person in the mirror you thought you knew.

you - by twelvedaysofjune, literature

Literature

you -

Wondering...

0 min read

I'm thinking of writing, at some point in the future, a poem that is bilingual in Arabic and English, rhyme scheme and all. Anyone know is this has been done before? في المستقبل، سَأكتب شعر بالعربية والإنجلزية، ربما. هل شاعرون كتبونها في الماضي؟
