My Poetry - Ever Again

There's this sinking feeling in my gut

And an empty hole inside my heart

I miss her more than life itself

Without her, life leaves little else

I struggle to make it through each day

Everything reminds me of all her ways

I feel like I can't measure up

I'm not the daughter that she would want

But it's ok, I know my way

Though it differs from her every single day

I will always love her more than anything

I just wanted her to be more accepting

Unfortunately I never got her strength,

Her way with numbers or cleanliness

But I am strong in my beliefs

And I definitely got her stubbornness

Though we weren't a perfect match

And our opposites did not attract

I would traverse the heavens and the earth

To just have one more hug from her

I hope she knows I miss her much

That every day without her sucks

And that one day when we meet in heaven

I'm not letting go... ever again

MEANING: 6 years ago today is the day they admitted my mom to the hospital. In the wee hours we would get the call that she is unresponsive and wouldn't live through the night. She woke up and lived 10 days more, allowing her family the opportunity to say goodbye. I am so blessed and thankful for that. I wrote this poem this morning.

My Poetry - Setara Mali

I am but a little star

A supernova gone too far

Spread through the universe so grand and wide

Completely ignorant of space and time

Your laws do not conform to me

For I have broken gravity

Like the wind that emanates from a celestial body

You will never be able to contain me

We come from the stardust of eons ago

That's traveled the galaxy to and fro

It shimmers and glistens in the light of a new sun

As it recognizes another kindred spirit has begun

But I am but a little star

I've taken things a little too far

I caused a massive supernova

That started this universe 14 billion years ago
