OctPoWriMo Day 30
Hello readers,
The day before
we don't expect tomorrow
we don't expect what will happen next
it's a surprise
shakes our world
Thinking you will be lonely
later you have your first love
you thought you were safe
but now your country is in war
you thought you would always be in the middle of chaos
but later birds fly in the sky again
you are at peace
The day before
doesn't tell you
what tomorrow will be like.
Love, Fida

Hello readers,
I was blinded by joy
by grief
all from annoyance and embarrassment
I want that consuming bliss
that euphoric moment again
I don't want to be blind
from the good moments
I want to experience them
I don't want the good moments to blind me
I want to care for those
without many or any good moments.

Hello readers,
Exhaustion
Rain
No plans
Accidentally make the others
sleep in
be late
You realize
the urge to go
the hunger
for knowledge
to keep busy
to find what you love
do what you love
the hunger
keeps you up
keeps you from falling asleep
wakes you up
in the middle of the night
until you do what you need to do
until you do what you want to do
Or maybe
it's just thirst
wakes you up
in the middle of the night
Dry throat
makes you uncomfortable
until you do something for it
Honey
Lemon
Tea
Peppermint
helps the throat
Hot chocolate
helps to fall asleep.

Hello readers,
Cry myself to sleep
every night
living with insomnia
Toss and turn
every night
wonder why
I have insomnia
Too many thoughts
feelings and voices
in my mind
as my head hits the pillow
I need to learn
to quiet them down
way before bedtime;
Those precious moments
when you drift to sleep
dream
and you don't wake
until your alarm
finally rested
I'm happy, content
can have a busy day
don't have to feel lazy
just for being tired.
Love, Fida

Fears are something you end up liking
I'm afraid of heights
and I love hiking
nostalgic for an airplane ride
Used to be afraid of the dark
but now it's what keeps me comfortable
Used to be so scared of dogs
run away
walk away
today for the first time
I didn't change my pace
move away
It came to sniff me
I didn't care
wasn't scared
I think after getting any pet
you are more understanding their language, their love.
Love, Fida

It's a magical moment
to experience miracles.
Miracles big and small
they are in everyday life
the way rocks form
how trees grow
face the ground or sky
The home we have
the air we breathe
Being able to feel God's presence.

Hello readers,
There is no such thing as guilty pleasures
they are simply pleasures
you shouldn't hide
what you love
Everyone has their own fashion sense
has their signature dance move.
If you do hide it
it isn't good
and you should take it out
of your life.

Hello readers,
All to well
I begin again
believe it
I won't let the beast of burdens
hold me down
Begin again
in starlight
And then there was
everything has changed
time to write.

Hello Poetteers,
A journey
an opportunity
to do something spontaneous
something you always wanted
have someone hold you accountable
give you a deadline
The nerves
the adrenaline
you are excited enough to think about it
have a nervous breakdown
but for once you are too excited to over think
you book a time and place
You practice and practice
the night comes
and you hear your name
For once it's not something to be scared about
you are excited, happy
the audience is too
they know you
That's one thing different
in all other times they don't know you
and you don't know the subject
this time you do
You get to the stage
and see people smiling
not looking like they are bored
You hold the mic
and start to read
transported to that world
you give emotion in your voice
for emphasis
not on your face
for fear
You finish
and leave that world
to see people clapping and loving it
loving you
Throughout the night
people come to you
saying it was good
you touched me
I'm glad you did that
Never before
have I felt this
glad the other moments in high school
haven't traumatized me
I want to do this again.
*this is based on truth, on the two different times I read to an audience from my poetry books: A TO Z POETRY and HUGS & KISSES.
