Breathe
Slower
Because the only way you live is by
slow dancing under a disco ball
The only way you live is by swimming in the swamp
The only way you live is by strolling in a marathon
It’s the only way you know how to live
Tuck your hair
Behind your ears
And scrub the blood off your eyes
Till you see nothing at all
Because the only way you love is scary
The only love you’ve known is scary.
The crying, the screaming, the laughing
The giving too less to yourself
Because all of you belongs to him
The Insanity
The insanity of love that you’ve drunken
Every night tucking your Barbie dolls to sleep
The home
The dream
After all
Life is a stimulation
And you’re a drunkard in the middle of the car traffic
You’re searching for the dream within the dream
Perhaps it’s the only way to live.

About the Author
Hi I’m Moesha Jain. I’m a student in grade 8 at Carmel Convent School. You’ll usually find me watching films you’ve never heard of. I enjoy reading when I’m bored and writing poetry when I’m the opposite. It helps me vent.
Moreover, I’m like any other teenager but a dash more whimsical.
