A lover (let me tell you my story)

Summary:

A poem about growing up, loving (maybe way too much) no fandoms just vibes :)

Notes:

This was written in the middle of the night, I was feeling sad and needed to get things out of my head.
Hope you enjoy!

Work Text:

A lover (let me tell you my story)

I’m a lover, I have always been one,

When I was a kid, I loved arts,

And stories, those my parents read to me before bed.

As I grew up, I started loving movies, 

And after movies, I started reading, then…

I started listening to music, and one day,

I decided to draw.

 

Then, as time passed, I started cooking,

But we all know, that at one point, the food isn’t there anymore, 

So I picked up photography, and I used that,

As a way to make things last.

 

Loving…

Some say it’s a gift, a blessing.

But it often makes me wonder… if it’s supposed to be something good…

Why does it feel like a curse I can’t get rid of?

 

I look around, and everyone tells me to grow up, to chose

And honestly… I envy those people, 

Those who were born to love once, 

Those who don’t need to chose, 

For them, things feel right, meaningful even.

And I wish that was me…

I wish loving would be that easy…

Because… I love so much, and I never really want to let go,

At least not of the things I love deeply,

 

And somehow choosing feels like a burden,

Deep down I know I have to choose,

But I can’t give up on loving

I’ve always done that, and change often feels scary.

 

If only I could love forever…

Maybe choosing would feel easier.

Notes:

First of all, thanks for reading this!
I hope you enjoyed this poem, and friendly reminder: As hard as things might feel, don't give up, if you ever feel like too much, if things feel like burdens even though deep down you know it shouldn't in one way or another, seek a way to cope healthily, whether by reading, writing, talking, drawing or any other way that makes you feel better without hurting yourself, I want you to remember there are people here for you, me included.

love you guys <3
