Growing Up

In the quiet of the night i rethink

My existence in this world 
The older i grow 
The value of life drops low.
Young me was so excited to grow.



To grow, To enter a new world
The world of grownups 
As the older i got 
more things i would be ,
more things I would do



Inch by inch 
Taller i grew
Inch by inch 
excitement dropped
Is this all growing up is after all ?



There is nothing to "growing up"
Rather than getting to do 
Restrictions add up
Don't do this
Don't do that 



The world becomes a scarier place
A place where the cunning are rewarded
In the face of success
Where friends are discarded
A place where hatred prevails 
And sceptics dissect happiness.



This is a world I grew up into
A broken place : my diy project
Tape up the cracks; cover it up
Was it worth it ? Growing up?

An old man remembers

An old man remembers. I remember writing this poem when I was in the 11th grade for my English class. It wasn't like an assignment or anything like that. The thing I remember most from 11th grade is English class on Mondays. 😁 Every Monday we would have a free class, where we could present our poems, writings or anything else. Our Teacher that year was a really fun loving man who had a great passion for creative writing. So I remember being very inspired by that passion and writing a lot of essays and poems that year. This tradition of our class started when I gave our teach a poem inspired by the recent lesson we had. I'd expected him to just have a look and maybe give me some critique on it but the next day he had me read it out loud in front of the class.😮 And thus began our Monday creative gathering tradition/ session. This poem is also one that I wrote for one of those Mondays. An Old Man Remembers An old man remembers when man and god walked together...

Organizing my notes

 I recently found out I could decorate the notes on my notes app and organize them like a little journal. So, naturally I went ham. Spent all day making sure the notes were organised into their own little journal, picking the colors and the dreaded affair of comming up with a title.  Et Voilà ; The notes app.
