To be away for a while, (two weeks to be exact), from writing has been weird. I truly didn’t stop writing. More so, I allowed myself to get too busy to pull myself away and enjoy what I love. I wrote micro poetry, and as I was going over them I realized I interwove them on accident. However, they all made sense as I read them together.
It was as if, subconsciously, I was writing an entire poem or a poetic story without even realizing it. It just reminded me that life in itself is just a series of micro stories we put together and that is truly what our life is: poetry.

Listen: that heart pounding. That constant reminder you are alive and can achieve so much.
If only for a second, they saw each other from opposing eyes and that was all the communication they needed.
Through deep despair and pain, I wrote my way out.
