( Not Enough Time in the Day)
She stares at the clock
Hoping for more time.
She tries to find the strength to to get up
Hoping for more time.
The alarm clock goes off for the second time,
she rolls over
Hoping for more time.
Eventually she mustered up the strength but
doesn’t want to get ready
Hoping for more time.
The sun starts to shine through brighter than
ever yet she’s still
Hoping for more time.
Time is running out she has to hurry
Hoping for more time.
The day still has to go on yet she still hold on
to hope
Hoping for more time.
(Happier Times)
The sky is clear, a bright and vibrant blue.
The sun is stronger than ever the rays beaming down with just the right amount of warmth.
The air smells fresh with a hint of freshly cut grass.
The birds sing a melodic tune.
The world is still all you can hear is the wind rushing pass the trees.
The wind whips around free petals from the sweet smelling flowers making them dance.
The children run and try to catch them.
The world is at ease.
Everything is calm and serene.
(Deafening)
It feels as though time has stopped. There’s nothing but silence. She doesn’t even know what living is anymore. Does anyone or anything really exist. Her mind won’t let her sleep. All she does is constantly think, it is non stop like a motor constantly running. The only thing she can hear is her thoughts and nothing more. She tries to concentrate but her thoughts are deafening. If only she could stop her mind from running circles around her but if only it was that simple.
(Self Love)
When you look in the mirror love what you see.
Love that person who stares back at you let things be.
This is who you’re with for the rest of your days.
Know that the person you look at is perfect in so many ways.
Despite the flaws you may find.
Just know that you have to love yourself first and try to unwind .
It is that self love that will allow you to accept yourself and for you to let others in.
All it takes is words of positivity for you to begin.
What I enjoyed about Yasmine’s poetry is how truthful the the words are and how you can understand what is being written.
I really love how descriptive your words are and how it’s not hard to comprehend what’s going on.
