  • Lauren,

    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this poem and applying it to your own experiences. That’s why I challenged myself to write more and share more this year. I hope to share something that will be meaningful to someone else.

    I am glad you took the opportunity to attend your dream college. Sometimes you have to step out on faith while ignoring doubt.

    Thank you for the warm welcome into this wonderful platform.

  • A Perfect Day

    An alarm-clock-free morning,
    There’s nothing more soothing.
    I took my first sip of coffee
    As I lounged by the window,
    Absorbing the beauty of a day minus responsibilities.
    “I love everything about today,”
    I affirmed, consumed by my thoughts:

    Maybe, I’ll make the hour-long drive
    To my favorite beach,
    Visit a couple of discount stores,
    Or stop by that cozy little restaurant, I adore,
    For a savory meal and a delicious treat.

    I could always search for
    A binge-worthy show,
    Grab a bottle of Chardonnay,
    Pop some popcorn and snack,
    Until I drift off into the most pleasant sleep,
    Cultivating the sweetest dreams.

    “You know what?”
    I ask myself aimlessly…
    “You’re overthinking it…
    The only way today will be perfect
    Is if I do all of these things.”
    So, I did.

    K. S. Love

      Your poem of indulgence and relaxation is delightful. I love the idea of a spontaneous adventure as well.

  • 2024 Figured Out: A Poem

    It’s 2024.
    The welcoming celebrations have ceased.
    On my first day back to work,
    A coworker asked,
    “What do you want for yourself this year?”

    I said, “It isn’t a matter of what I want,
    It’s what I need…
    There’s nothing
    I need more than to
    free my mind of thoughts
    on what I can’t do.”

    She pondered…
    Then questioned,
    “How will you get to that place?”

    “I must embrace fear,
    let life run its course,
    face challenges head-on, and
    gracefully excuse myself
    from my zone of comfort.

    With that, I need to
    express gratitude,
    take better care of my body, and
    value my mental.

    Last, I’ll build on my knowledge,
    smile more often,
    act with love, and
    work to master the art of patience,”
    I declared with great excitement.

    “I see you have it all figured out,”
    she replied.
    “No, I just know what I need,”
    I assured her, casually.

    • This is beautiful. When I read the line “Free my thoughts of what I can’t do” this story in my own life came to mind.

      In my senior year of high school, I was waitlisted at Columbia. At the time, it was ranked the eighth-best college in the country. In June (just as I was about to graduate), I got mail that notified me I was removed from the waitl…read more
