Poets + Writers discussion

for me lol

poem-

when i think of the afterlife
i think of stars and the moon
of darkness and nighttime
and of you.

or sometimes, sunflower fields
endless wheat farms
peach orchards and windmills
and you, with open arms.

maybe somewhere i can hear the waves
a quiet town by the sea
and rainy, peaceful days
where you’ll be waiting for me.

if the afterlife is a library, crumbling and old
i will look for your name in every book
if the afterlife is an endless path
then i will run even to the end to find you.

because my afterlife is not heaven nor hell
or any place i could tumble into
because no matter where i fall,
my afterlife is me meeting you.

i love that sm ❤️
i especially love the vibe you create i like how it just creates an image in my head

thank youu💙💙AND YAYYY that was the goal

i don’t usually write free verse so this is new for me😅
the last lines are inspired by a quote? something i read a long time ago idk where and i can’t find it again.

i am a wanderer
a dreamer, a poet
a madman
i feel the rain in my heart
the sun in my soul
i feel
somehow, i can feel
i am not numb
and i yell it into the wind
“i am alive”
what a wonder that is
i could have died the day i was born
i could have succumbed to my wonderings
my time could have ended out of the blue
i could have
died
if i actually listened to the depths
of my own mind
if i actually cared
if i let myself listen
“i am alive”
why?
because this world tethers me
these people
these ideas
the idea that: i could make a difference
i could help
my life might be worth
something
maybe i could save just
one life
save one person from
depression
insanity
pain
oh, if only i could take
just a bit of their pain
all i want
is to help someone
one person
but maybe it’s ok
if that one person
is me.

i love that so so much
and the last line hits so hard like it cuts deep...lowkey i'll be thinking later lol

I LOVE THAT

thanks guys 🥹
