Magical Mess

 My story My dorm smells like dirty socks While silence pierces through my ear My heart trembles with anxiety Only my diary is dear My family suddenly flashes before my eyes When I'm swimming from deep to shallow Breaking up with my sweetheart boyfriend  Is the price I pay to not be callow Flew so far away, so brave Where did I gather this courage Also why and who am I and what am I doing I only have questions at this stage So I pick up my pen Maybe there is magic in writing Keep scratching my thoughts on paper Till this meaningless quest sounds enlightening Dark or insensible or profound or glowing This poem is nobody's business but mine Maybe the verses don't flow together to you But to me I am writing my story just fine -Maithili

 Pink Bands I pretended I'll always have a chance and It's just 2 months to the edge of this romance and We haven't started preparing our first dance and All places left to see with no time to take a glance and Now I just wanna lay in your bed holding hands Appear like we have it all together when we hold up our chin and I'm losing you and I'm losing it, but they think it's a win and The thought of not having you around sends me into a tailspin and Burdening bracelets over my arm that there is no space for my skin but Promise me, no matter what, we won't take off our pink bands -Maithili
