lonely

If it was not obvious this poem is inspired by a quote from Rumi - 'do not be lonely for the universe is inside you'. I remember there was a poster in my old school with this quote on it, outside the RS department, and I would walk past it at least once everyday. When I looked at it, I felt like I was looking at the tip of iceberg; knowing there is more and yearning to see it, yet unable to see past the surface. It was desperately painful to want so badly to see a deeper meaning and yet not feel it. I feel it now. I understand it in the way I wanted it to. Perhaps not in the way Rumi wanted, but individual interpretation is a beautiful thing; I hope you feel my poems in your own way rather than try to find what I meant. All I meant was for you to feel something.

thank you for reading <3

ps. I am super annoying so I'll recommend a song with each post now! :D today's: we'll never have sex - leith ross


i am never lonely


i have my Parts


the universe is inside me

a universe of

disgusting contradiction;

beautiful antagonistic

pain

and a universe of me


a universe of existence

a history of my Whole

spelled out in my Parts


i do not remember everything;

how every seed was sown

but i love my flowers equally


some are thorny

they are yet still beautiful


the universe is inside me

i am bursting at the seams

i am desperate to share myself


the universe is inside me

a universe of heaven and

hell

a universe of all of my Parts


a universe of pained memories,

beautiful nostalgia and

yearning yearning yearning


i am never lonely

the universe inside me loves me

i water her
