Peculiar Words (A collection of poetry)

You are my ambition

You are my ambition

Apr 11, 2019

Sometimes in haste of my own mind

I forget why I'm doing this

of my own accord, no one to blame, I force myself away from dreams

I wish to put effort, I get lost in my head.

Sometimes, I almost feel dead

because who is the woman who gives up on her dreams

but background noise that is fleeting screams

and funny, how I never believed in a muse

that was, until I met you

and when we parted ways my ambitions sunk lower

drifting into the pit of self-deprecation

the pain

the pain existence was

because you were my friend and my ambition, my dreams and love

I'm here now to tell you I've found a loophole.

I'm trying to focus on the memory you left branded on my mind

the songs that still run through my head all pertain to you

we call sometimes

and it's igniting a fire in the ambitions I always had

slowly compelling me not to be the one who abandons dreams for nothing but the pinprick of anxiety

the breath I could not breathe is returning to me

so thank you

for picking up the phone

This one was a bit rushed, but I think it explains why. I find I often fall into a pattern of giving up what I enjoy, and the best way to stop is to have others around to encourage me. However, this poem is an ode to independence, the goals I'm striving for and my work to overcome what prevents me from achieving them. Perhaps not as elegantly written as some of my works, but I hope you enjoy the meaning behind it. If you've read this far, please don't be afraid to comment! It really helps me find that motivation! I'm planning a comic, by the way, so look forward to that. In the meantime, I'm off to write a new chapter for I'm Not Your Wife I'm Her Killer. Love you all!

If the fruit were forbidden I would chase it
Not for the knowledge but the thrill
the adrenaline spike is what tore us from goodness
adventure draws me steady
for forbidden fruit ever tastes more sweet
