Opening: a new month thinking of the coming days
Feeling: less than perfect
Knowing: May should bring with it a little comfort and less of anger
Wishing: i was holding you in my arms. Baby my arms are still not used to being without you
Hoping: that life will make more sense as I try to navigate through this pain of mine
Marveling: at how much time passes yet still remains the same
Needing: more hugs than ever before. This feeling of loneliness has gripped my chest so hard refusing to let go
Watching: how the month unfolds, I haven’t watched any series or movie for so long
Learning: days, minutes, seconds can never be recounted, once gone they stay gone for good
Loving: still a blank stare
Admiring: those who overcame their pain and learnt to live with it and not let it define them
Thinking: april ended too fast, I cannot believe we are already in another month
Wanting: to be left alone sometimes to deal with this riveting grief that has me in chains
Smelling: toasted bread
Dreading: nights when I dream about babies only to wake up realising I lost my own, so frightening yet distinct
Dreaming: …
Cooking: …
Making: a decision to not be brought down by feelings of loss and so much sorrow
Reading: i can’t seem to want to read anymore, maybe the feeling will come back soon
Drinking: milk tea
Listening: to mercy me- I can only imagine
Writing: in my diary why life seems so unfair that everybody else is living the life I want, the life of being a mother
Wondering: how come…

Creating: i haven’t felt any creative lately
Regretting: that life would have been different if I had made different choices at certain points in my life
Wasting: time
Noticing: i have lost a lot of weight, someone commented that I was shrinking…true, as my heart shrinks because of pain, my body shrinks too
Giggling: no laughter yet

MAYBE JUST MAYBE
Maybe I’m in the wrong job
Maybe I’m in the wrong marriage
Maybe I’m in the wrong house
Maybe I’m in the wrong route
Maybe I’m in the wrong company
Maybe I’m in the wrong heart
Maybe I’m in the wrong land
Maybe I’m in the wrong bed
Maybe I’m in the wrong arms
Maybe I’m in the wrong love
Maybe I’m in the wrong family
Maybe I’m in the wrong chapter
Maybe I’m in the wrong color
Maybe I’m in the wrong account
Maybe I’m in the wrong friendship
Maybe I’m in the wrong crowd
Maybe I’m in the wrong shift
Maybe I’m in the wrong drink
Maybe I’m in the wrong song
Maybe I’m in the wrong language
Maybe I’m in the wrong season
Maybe I’m in the wrong Ocean
Maybe I’m in the wrong break
Maybe I’m in the wrong basket
Maybe I’m in the wrong
Maybe
Just maybe
