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
