motions & emotions

Writer's picture: arshi ranjanarshi ranjan

It’s kinda like deja vu

Trying to forget someone,

Forgetting the feelings connected to this one person

You lock it away in your head,

You go down the elevator, `

And keep those feelings in one room,

Ignoring it as you pass by,

But never actually saying goodbye

Never at peace,

Never at true happiness

because that feeling,

That emotion

It keeps clinging,

Attached to someone,

It's almost like we’ll have them for the rest of our lives,

We never think of the end

So when the unthinkable happens,

We freeze

Dazed and confused

We lock the feelings away,

Keep it in a safe spot,

Like when your sneaky and little, hiding something just for giggles

That thing is always there,

Just unknown to the eye

And that lingering gets weaker,

Because we never say goodbye,

Thinking about it,

Day and night,

night and day

So what can you do,

How do you make that annoying constant feeling go away,

Some may call it closure,

Some may just move on,

It’s opening the door and facing the unknown

Welcoming that uncomfortable feeling, that comes knocking at your door

And finally saying hello,

Not goodbye,

Accepting that it’s ok to not feel normal

It’s ok to feel just a little abnormal

And so when we accept,

We can finally seize

Seize our moments & memories

The good & the bad, without the constant worry

About the one thing that kept us from this relief

Seizing and capturing whatever we want,

Without the constant dread of opening a door, we don’t want

Living in the moment,

Like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Living with no stress,

Of going back to something that we wanted to move past


You never know what’s tomorrow,

So let go & move past,

It’s ok to be affected

To be hurt & to be sad,

It’s ok to be left un whole, picking up the pieces yourself,

But also learn to accept, all the ups and the downs

Because in the end it’s up to us to come down and see,

That there’s more to life than being unhappy

just not into it

It feels like a weight when everyone expects more than what you can provide, when times you were three, you were actually 8 and now when...
