sehnsucht

sehnsucht
German word; in a wider sense defined as 'intensely missing'


Felt out of reach and now that I’m here
It’s much more comforting than I imagined it, the separation- I fear
A curve is twitching to appear
Father speeds up a little- gets into a rhythm jogging up to the cashier
                                                  
Mother’s eyes looks shinier than ever before
I see the eyes hold so many emotions, who knew there didn’t have to be tears
The heart clenches thinking of leaving- but it’s meant to be?
My nose scrunches up- responsive to grandmother’s magic a mile away; it felt like I’ve been away for years

Had taken it for granted- a life so monotonous; could it be missed this much?
The distance takes a toll but rolls you into a smarter and responsible being
Sometimes it gets a little tough, I understand, sometimes you just pray for your loved one’s touch
Keeping the chin up, the life of one starts to form, a sense of strength sears in

‘People come and go’, ‘People change’, don’t cower from it
Change is growth- people grow out of each other, grow together or grow apart
Growing apart, you learn about the togetherness that forms from the lacking, and grow out of being protected
Cherish the moments- embrace the warmth, family is always taken for granted

Truth is, no one has treated me better
Fights and criticism boxed into four walls of a powerful place called home
Cheerleaders of the unimaginable kind outside the box- fights off every hater

Have you seen a better kind of unconditional love?

Inspiring Young Individuals

My mom once told me "If someone takes their life, there are many to blame. A harsh word, a mean act would force them to think of the worst. On the contrary, just imagine saving a life unintentionally by slipping in a supportive message, so always be nice to people because you don't know what they're going through." -- If you're having a bad day, i would like you to cheer up! You made it through a hell of a week of schooling and you're past another challenging day. Maybe you had a fight with a friend you care about, maybe you got the result of a horrible paper or maybe your parents shouted at you and their words pierced you. You're possibly in a state of giving up on all humanity&hope.  But you know what?  I won't go all wise with quotes and of course it's hard but it's not the worst. There's still more to come and if you don't face any ups and downs, you aren't alive. The human tendency is to look at the negatives more th...

Page 1 of 365 At the approach of a new year, it’s a new slate, all things good for us to gain As one that waits for none; a loophole of time, a new opportunity in the form of a new year is here again. 365 days to evolve and progress, a new leaf to sprout in you For you to improve, grow and always stay true. Trudging up to the edge of 2016; into the new year, diving headfirst, With lessons and memories; for a life of knowledge, in me is a thirst. I will remember after this long and event-filled year, not to lash But realise to spread love like I own an endless stash Ignorance may be bliss but in life- this bubble of hard-hitting reality, Take a vow to be a better version; make the world yours, step by step readily. Here is your chance, beautiful soul Every regret and mistake; reminisce in how strong you’ve become, don’t let it take a toll The past is the past Do not postpone, make your worth here last Let’s work on our resolutions, face...

Hi and Hello

Hi and Hello to everyone  Okay, so I am new to this kind of exposure so please forgive me if any mistakes occur. Not everyone has to understand what I write but I hope I make people happy with what I do. If I say something that is insulting or demeaning in any manner, I promise you that isn't what I mean. To introduce myself: I would describe myself as an average 14 year old ( female ) teenager, making tons of mistakes. A teen with a passion to read, write and with support, I take one step forward to follow my dream. I am part of a big family but to give you the gist, I am one of six. I am blessed with a loving dad, he is the best and I love him more than I can ever put in words. A mother that always gives me the best and my inspiration to write and read with such endless passion. A sister, who is actually 6 years older to me. ( she's okay..I'm kidding, she is the best ms.goody two shoes i could ever have ) And my grandma :)) ahh she is such a big pillar in my l...
