insight seventynine
A few small poems recovered from the notes in my phone - 
jumper
a burgundy hood hides my messy hair
ties ravelled within it
the sleeves too long for my arms
like little mittens covering my hands
just my finger tips showing proud

deeper into the woven material is a boy
a tall handsome man with a piercing smile
bright eyes and a smart mind
he being one of few things i hold close to my heart
and by close i mean within it
a boy who fought to be there

a scent of him throws me off tracks
my mind wishing it to be a hug
from his long arms fitting into these
long sleeves - wrapping them around me
a smell that i cant unrecognize 
subtle reminding of who i have near

smiling before the glazed surface
my rosy cheeks staring back at me
hiding the lines from smiles around my mouth
with the oversized phenomenon that is this jacket
this hoodie that represents so much more than just warmth
also him, and love, and happy times within it
    - but after all, it is only a jumper

switch
on, the words of pain
off, the tears when someone is there
on, the smile to a strange face
off, the past and present honesty
on, a small meal of single fruit
off, appetite to eat anything but nothing
on, my love for those i hold dear
off, disproval from him though i try everything
on, one mark or two never hurt someone
off, the new me or the good me
on, old habits and cursed thoughts
off, care for myself, reckless self destruction

like a switch i flick between me and me
the two personas that i thrive upon
the two sides of my face you wish to see
one shown, one hidden deep to lock
lock away from the light and those i wish to love
on, off, on, off, off, off

invisible
do you ever just want to be invisible?
because everything around you tells you not to exist?
everyone around you makes you feel like not existing?
things you do not being good enough?
trying your hardest and smiling to show you're tough?
living too loud and being turned down to invisible?

invisible is something i want to be
hide the pain i try to mask by laughter
run away from those situations i fear
observe the people i love and cherish
but mourn the fact i can't show myself

a perfect place is an invisible world
one where i can be with past loved ones and present
reaching their spirits to say goodbye
or i'll see you soon

insight fiftythree there's a lot of things going on right now. in my head i mean. my life isn't a lot of things, very slow motion rain and black a white music. ... let me set the scene... a candle flickers beside me, close enough so i can feel the heat but not burning my hair black. music rings through my headphones, Supermarket flowers singing my emotions in a comforting sort of way. my phone to the right of my laptop flashes with a notification from a heart breaker, whom for some reason wants to communicate with me. to my left is the rain, trickling slowly down my window, blurring the clouds and bricks together, a typical English autumn day. I've been watching this series, Doctor Foster on BBC. the final episode touched my heart, in a eye opening way. the parents of a young boy, Tom, were fighting and he went through an emotional turmoil of negative feelings. they didn't notice. but i did. i know it's all made up, but i noticed. the pale skin, the sleepless ...

insight sixtyone i guess you don't really understand your dependence, love and reliance on a person until you're apart. the strength of the bond that you need physically yet it's something you take for granted until it's no longer visible. Day to day laughs that are your medicine from the dark, smiles for just seconds that brighten the doomed thoughts. Just a few days, it's less than a week; why should I be bothered? maybe because without you around I feel lost within myself, or the daunting fact that we are two as one but apart, we long to be in each other's company. but it's only a few days right? wrong. mentally, emotionally, I realise how much I lean on you, even if it's not noticeable, to you, to anyone. maybe that's the only reason I like to spend 6 hours of exhausting boredom, because I know I will smile with you for all those seconds I desire. maybe you're a drug, a dose of happiness that no one nor nothing can replace. in the worst of...

insight ninetyone We’re well into 2020. I have done a lot of reflecting over the last decade and a lot of looking at what is happening this year. Here are the things I’m taking away from this two week thought splurge: The decade of the 2010s I can’t fathom the amount of things that happened in the past 10 years. It’s been a whirlwind year of things that made and things that broke me as a person. So many achievements and amazing memories were made, and i look back and feel thankful for those times, those people. However some moments weren’t as hopeful, hurting me more as i delve deeper into those times. I’m beginning to accept them now; I’m starting to regard them not just as something that made but also something i cant get rid of, only deal with slowly. I am a partial believer in ‘everything happens for a reason’ and i use it to explain the friends, experiences and hardships that have been and gone; it helps me move on to a new time and a new head space. So i say to 2010 and al...
