Astra N. Poems

Yesterday,
I had plans for today,
But today had other plans,
For me.
...

I don't know how,
To take up space,
In this world.
I'm afraid,
...

Could I be,
Myself,
With you?
...

I wish you,
An everlasting sense of wonder,
And endless delight,
In the discovery of new things.
...

Here I am again,
In a room full of people,
Forced together through tradition,
Of festive fun at the end of the year.
...

She has the type of mind,
That keeps churning out thoughts,
Lists and tasks, shoulds and coulds,
Filling up every corner.
...

What can soothe a mind,
Is acceptance,
That you can't control everything,
Can't be everything.
...

I revel in the beauty
Of that which is not real
Of fairytales worlds away
Of reality twisted
...

I'm not ordinary
I'm not special either
Just an odd blend of human
With a touch too much quiet
...

To the parallel me,
I wish just a little more courage,
To step into the light,
And walk towards what makes you happy.
...
