It's not the words which rain from me
It's the emojis.
The emojis you left behind for me to hang on
in the raging syorm
you left behind in your wake.
The emojis weave pretty necklaces and shiny earrings
but no more handmade for me.
So I throw them in the trash of my past
and turn my pen toward my future.

It's so easy to reply with emojis.
The person on the other end can interpret it the way they like.

Flowers bloom peacefully
they burn them up
Embers? Still breathe.

When the teacher gives instructions about the exam after it is over
Students be like

-

With each sapling I press into the ground
Fingers dirty, brow sweaty
My friends behind me
Watering, nurturing the plants
We are the future
Of this planet
And we'll take care of our
Only home.

Whenever I go to any book store and see shelves overflowing with books

When I wake up from the dream of a book,
I try to remain asleep by pulling the covers of fanfiction over me.

I build my self love
One instagram selfie at a time
Each glance in the mirror
Wide smiles, bright eyes
Don't fall prey to the pimple and moustache
One heart in the comments
One compliment on an outfit
My heart feels cosy
Warding off the cold winds
Of self doubt
I build myself
With the bricks
Of Beauty I
Find
See
Watch (it)
Grow
within.

A Christmas gift pile.
High waisted jeans, a sky blue blouse.
She bursts into giggles. Her sister is still sleeping.
