After walking for miles,
I saw a cab,
only to be rejected for the price.
Disheartened, I continued to walk on,

Saw an ice cream cart,
took a bite—
but the ice cream fell off the cone,
melting fast on the hot pavement below.

Further down the road,
I reached for my phone,
only to find the battery dead—
silence where connection should be.

Then a sudden downpour,
no shelter in sight,
my clothes soaked through,
weighing heavy like my mood.

Yet still, I walked,
step by step,
through the small losses,
searching for a sign,
maybe a smile,
or a moment of light.

Is there an app better than YourQuote?
my days go by writing and scrolling on this app,
do other platforms capture my wandering thoughts?
each notification a spark in my creative map,
will another space let my midnight musings float?
I pen my dreams in drafts, hoping they’ll unwrap,
could another feed understand what I emote?
the stories I share, the hearts that gently tap,
will I ever find a place where my words truly gloat?

-

Did I choose the right road to roam?
We stumble forward, worn throughout.
Will tomorrow feel warmer like home?
We chase the light as time slips by.
Could I have changed what’s grown?
We count the choices that we’ve made.
Did I make the right choice, that's mine?
Still, I walk this uncertain line.

I don’t know what you’ve in store for me,
But I hope it holds a little more, you see.
The last two months were brighter than the rest,
Not that I doubt you’ll give your best.

I guess you’ll turn out great, I feel it true,
With days of sunshine and skies of blue.
Whispers of promise float on your breeze,
Carrying hope with gentle ease.

So here I stand, open and free,
Waiting to see what you’ll bring to me.
Dear July, let your magic unfurl—
A month of wonder, a brand-new world.

-

I want a world with peace,
Is it too much to dream for?
I wish for hands that reach,
Can kindness open every door?
I hope for hearts that care,
Will compassion ever truly reign?
I long for love to share,
Can humanity break every chain?

I tiptoe at midnight into the kitchen,
My tummy growls, craving a snack.
With AirPods in my left ear and phone in my left hand,
I open the fridge door, its light guiding my scan.

My phone beeps—I glance down,
A reel from my friend, then another sound!
I get lost in the endless flow, scrolling deep.
Meanwhile, a group of cockroaches finds its way inside the fridge’s keep.

I let out a shriek,
Waking the whole house from its sleep.
Now wide awake, I stand in the gloom,
Wondering if late-night snacks always spell doom.

-

There are memories I like to keep engraved,
Your presence in my life, a love embraced,
In every heart's corner, your light is saved,
A bond so deep, forever placed.

A decade carved in digital light,
Where screens glowed bright through day and night.
Memes and dreams in viral streams,
Life rewired by endless themes.

From tweets that sparked the global voice,
To movements rising, a world’s choice.
Music shifted, beats redefined,
Voices of change, no longer confined.

A decade marked by highs and lows,
Where every moment swiftly flows.
No time like this, no time before,
The 2010s, forevermore.

As we lay on the couch,
With our legs covered in filth,
You tickled me, I didn't finch,
We laughed so hard, it was quite a twitch,
The dog barked loud with a silly "hush,"
And spilled his drink with a big old splash!

-

Grief comes as an unwanted guest,
Guards every exit, won't let me rest,
Giggling softly, it mocks my quest,
Grasping my heart within its chest,
Gently it lingers, a shadowed guest,
Granting no peace, denying my best.
