Bright Side





Life is for living
not for worrying
let me smile
see the bright side
pass me the sun
not the shadow
of the moon
stay in the day
not the shadows.


Fill up that glass
until it's half
full
I don't want to say
the silver lining
for fear of cliché
but I don't
want to be whining


Lets
well,
fuck it
lets be happy.

Blue Over Grey





I've found optimism
looking up
at a blue sky
rather than grey pavement
The daffodils nod in
agreement
or perhaps it's just the breeze


Rather than watch my feet
Plod along
I can watch the clouds
race one another
focus on things around me
rather than just me.

The Crow Takes Flight

So I've been feeling down, as you can probably tell by the varying degree of emo like poetry on here, for quite a while. Today I feel happy, which is lovely. There are reasons for this:
  • I got an offer from my first choice university - ABB - Sheffield - if you're interested :) 
  • It's my birthday next week :)
  • Work load isn't too stressy. It's dare I say it, manageable o.o
  • Friendship drama is cooling down
This is why I thought I would do a second part to yesterday's poem. Yes, yes I am a hormonal teenager blah blah blah, my mood changes. But at least this mood change (I don't know how temporary it is) is for the better. 







The crow takes flight
leaving you behind
you feel light
not quite weightless
but still able to float


Your head is able to move back
not in to that biting beak
but in to space
thoughts and nerves have room
to breathe


A far off  caw in the distance
easy to ignore for today
just for once
things seem to be,
OK.
