I Deleted a Song

I can no longer dance to that song
As my body is no longer capable
Of making those silly moves
We hilariously yet confidently executed
Oh, it belonged to us
It was to be forever ours
But ahead of you
Is a broad array of songs
Waiting to be loved that way
And you felt responsible for them
So I waited as you move around
Cherishing them one by one
Because I only had that one song

I remained patient
Watching from the side
Wishing that you will play it again
And thankfully you did
Yet only to be skipped
Repeatedly, deliberately
That even I
Have forgotten the moves
I cried then tried to remember
And cried again
For my effort was in vain
Why couldn’t I?
Then I looked at you

I laughed at what was in front of me
Seeing you reminded me
Of my long-standing foolishness
You never let our song reach its end
For you’ve grown accustomed to loud songs
That you can no longer hear
The low volume of ours
Then what was the purpose of a song
Making feel frustrated when I hear it
And as for you, inaudible
I’ve been hurt and tired
And you, only bothered
I deleted that song, solely for me

Some may say it’s pathetic, stupid, and immature
But I refuse to someday be lost in the sea
You call playlist.

Let go when needed, don’t make happiness wait for you.

A Sign Meant For You

there is bliss to seize.

Sometimes you find yourself drowning deep into the ocean
But then you don’t try to survive, you don’t swim for your life
You just let yourself sink into an endless darkness
Because it’s easier that way, to accept that you belong there

But the light will always find you
Something inside you will push you to save your life
And so you swim to save your life
And a sight of the shore will delight you

But it isn’t easy because you’ve been deprived of gravity for a while
You might collapse, it will be hard to find your balance
Yet there are people around you, they will help you
And your feet will find gravity again

You’ll realize that it is meant for you to survive,
To live your life again,
Because the world is a masterpiece,
And you are a part of it

And then after some time,
You’ll find the happiness you’ve been looking for
Through words and actions,
You are uplifted.
