Cumulus clouds

My head is above the clouds sometimes.

I think about a better me.

The one that would be a better mom.

The one that would have more money.

The one that would have better writing.

The one that would be less selfish.

The one that would quit her job.

The one that would step out of her comfort zone more often.

The one that let her daydreams be her real actions.

The one that lets go of fear.

The one.

Dreams In Daylight’s Hope (Acrostic-Daydreaming)

Daylight pierced the aperture,

Abating present tense.

Yesterday flashed future;

Drawn nigh to your presence.

Rent, the veil between us;

Ethereal escape —

Alighting stars, once dormant;

Mesmerizing gaze.

Iridescent visions,

Neural images evoked;

Glancing through the optics

Of

Dreams in Daylight’s Hope.

Daydreaming
Lea919

To pass the time...

"To solve this equation, you're going to need..."

Oh, like anyone cares. Like I'll ever need to use this.

As always, the math lesson lasts about a century. A century of boredom.

I look at the teacher and then out of window. And as I watch the rain drops falling, I slowly let my mind slip away.

I fall... Right there, to my own world, where there's no math or any other boring classes. There, where I am the queen. The goddess, even.

I see my childhood friends, Tarzan and Pinocchio, and I wave. They wave back, but they don't come closer. It's been a while since we've talked. They understand I don't need them anymore.

So, where should I go today? There's Hogwarts nearby. Hagrid would be sure to invite me for tea. Narnia wasn't far either, I haven't seen Alan in ages.

No. Today, I feel a bit more adventurous.

I'm sitting on the black stallion, galloping to the battle. The sword feels heavy in my sweaty hand, but I don't let the fear get the best of me. I'm a warrior, a knight in shining armor. I lift the sword, cutting through the enemies, a battle scream in my throat.

The enemy falls and I'm being praised by my companions. We won!

"Are you coming?" A voice shatters the illusion of victory and I find myself sitting back in the classroom, now half empty. The class ended and I didn't even notice it.

"Sure," I say and follow my friends, still a bit confused after being thrown out of my dream.

It's time to face the real world again. But I can always go back. Isn't daydreaming wonderful?

Blue.

.

Neon yellow vest

Red beaming face

Hard hat on

Troubled race

We are looked down on

The same way I look at my callused hands

We didn’t migrate to take over we came

To participate

“ Land of the free “

Flee , North 

The South was never safe

1861 proclaimed ! 

Damn shame

Native Americans had it right

Europe colonized

In a very inhumane way

Back to the point

We are all apart of modern day slavery

Mexican - American

I cared more about the money

Than the slave making it

Got my hands on some green 

“Who cares about my Genetic Tree”

1 bad fall , 2 slipped discs

No health insurance for this “piece of shit”

I was a child w/ a dream too

Now I lay in hospital bed 442

Visiting hours are over

Wish my Life had too

This my reality

Hope yours isn’t nearly this

-Life

I’m the 1st breath you take 

I am the life in you 

Green trees 

Ocean , Desert  , Mountain & Sea 

I am flow of energy 

I am in this universe entirely

You took me for granted 

You claimed I’m not fair 

I gave some lesson but you didn’t grasp them 

Presented some options 

You couldn’t manage !

still didn’t figure !

eventually pulled the trigger 

(The , lights ..... they all flashed )

Your body felt numb , I was now exiting  

You’re officially Done 

I’ll strengthen your family 

As now they are now numb 

Your death is a hurtle they must overcome

Your pain was not killed it also just moved on

The bullet wasn’t the answer

bad perception = cancer

“We all have a choice”

That’s The real anthem

Live , love .. enjoy

We are all passengers 

Soul driver passing through an elaborate human experience 

Like the wind blowing by branches and trees

Lives , emotion , memories , relationship ,pain , touch us then also just leaves

Love 

Like 

Never 

Before

Challenge
Teach us some slang words from wherever you're from.
This challenge is inspired by a series of Youtube videos by Vanity Fair called Slang School where different celebrities teach viewers different slang words from their homeland. So I wanted to see if anyone here had some slang words that they know or have used or have heard of from wherever you live or whatever place you grew up from. Trust me, there's an assortment of slang terms. Try to teach the readers at least 5 to 10 slang terms from your homeland or place that you grew up in and explain the meanings behind those slang terms.

Abracadumb in Words

Slang from the south-west of the UK

I'm from Devon so get on my tra'er and I'll take yer on a journey.

Where's it to - Where is it.

'Ait me lav - Hello dear friend

Spoons - Wetherspoons (It's a pub, no idea if you get spoons outside of the uk)

Send it - Finish it/go for it

Janner - A chav from Plymouth

Innit - Derived from 'isn't it' but used as a general term of affirmation

Going out out - It's like out but outer. The type of out that happens in a club with alcohol and dancing and coming home at 6 in the morning for leftover curry.

You're welcome innit.

Your light

I like things heavy

I like things hard

But because I like things extreme

Doesn't mean I have to tear you apart

I can make you flinch

And scream as the pain slides through

But beauty lies within

The things that you want to do

I don't need to force

I need not manipulate

I'll find out your wants

And common ground I'll create

As a moth to a flame

You'll understand my plight

And although I'm full of darkness

I'll be your light

Déjà Vu

I remember but I’ve never been here before 

Seems so familiar  no doubt in mind 

She’ll be  dead in due time 

Recollecting my thoughts

it all started with a simple Hi 

Convince her to give me a ride

mean while Devious plans arrange inside 

Slit her throat

As drove

I felt so alive

I Smiled

evil intent is the Guide 

Let the blood splatter and fly 

She took her last sigh 

As she knew she wouldn’t make it out alive

She was bound to die 

It was too real 

She caught my eye from the corner of the room she’s walking towards me   

To say “Hiiii”

Guess she must not have saw it 

Deja Vu 

I was rehearsing she day dreaming

I am 21 years or older.
