better days.

Newton’s 3rd law:

for every action there is

an opposite and equal reaction

but i can put in a 100

and yet receive a 0 in return.

it’s not that i’m afraid of falling,

it’s just, getting hurt a second time

seems rather exhausting.

i wish hard,

but wishes don’t always come true.

sometimes i love,

but then become restricted

by my fear of rejection.

in the dead of night,

when the occasional chirp of birds breaks

the silence of midnight,

i lie in bed wide awake,

uneasy and worried of the unknown.

but then again

it is this knowing of the unknown,

in these moments of uncertainty and fear

that i catch fluttering fleeting feelings.

dreaming, seeking, and finally reaching.

because i know, waiting for me is

endless laughter,

thrilling adventures,

warm hugs,

movie nights,

long sleep ins,

family outings,

rainy days,

better days.
