The Heart-Mind-Ink Axis

20200607 & 20200608 - This Is Love

1. THIS

Life exists beyond your inner circles
There's also one tangent
Connecting you to people
Who don't know you exist
Who are buried deel in your heart
And yet not the same to them
You could have something in common
Or nothing at all
But even people like that
Can stir something deep in you
Love and passion you never knew of
If not for those novels and lyrics
I don't even know if I'd be writing now
Sometimes it feels pointless
That you look up to someone far away
Sometimes it's all you need to go on
Your role models traversing the world
Your fave writer who made his own
The bests at what you love doing
They're people, people you know
People who give you power and love
Even when they don't know you exist
People who deserve to receive back
And feel warmth within, just like us.
The way you chose to give back
It's different for each of us
Probably even to different people
But whoever and however
You being inspired itself is huge
For people who want to just
Make life slightly better for someone
Even if it is only you
Even if no one else knows them
Of all the billions today
You're like that drop of water to them
They're soil that keeps giving up Moisture to plants and the air
And even one single drop matters.
Love matters to everyone
They're as human as us
You looking up to them
You crushing on them
It doesn't change that fact.

Whatever I do has been inspired by someone and that's how I either began or kept going.

P.s.
I took so many edits on this because I'll admit it, I look up to a lot of people and not everyone is famous. I could give you a list, but no... it will be way too long... hmu on that.

2. IS

You sure know who holds your hands
Who would take a dive for you
Self love is one thing
Sometimes though, you just wish
For someone else to give it to you
When you wish to be loved
When it fails to get reciprocated
Don't begin to feel worthless
You aren't, the world just isn't ready
Ready to receive the beautiful you
You are truly lovable
Your kith and kin are proof
Who do you rant to
Who holds you at your weakest
Who spams you with love
Even when you're on the brink
Of ceasing it all
I've been through hell
One rollercoaster
Even the wrong friendship choice
But through that one mishap
I found myself
Self love wasn't everything
I also found people
Who know both of us
Yet who stood with me
Let me speak out how vulnerable
How broken I felt
There are always people
Someone knows you exist
They care enough to stand in front
They'll take the blows
They'll take the wheel
When tears blur your vision
Acquaintances are among these
But who will you slowly befriend
Wether they were at your birth
Or if you met along the way
Wether you chose them is upto you
Yet hold them close
Whoever will no longer be
Just an acquaintance
Pick and show love back
If you pick someone who loves you
And give them love
You'll feel it
Just one person or a knit circle
Friends or family
Or even a significant other
Love is to and fro
Lest should it be toxic
Leave back to the first step
Love yourself
True love begins
With loving yourself
It will not drain you but you will experience endless love given and received.
Love those you hold close
The ones holding you close love you.

I mean it when I say you matter... if you've heard it from me irl or in a dm... I thought of it and said it from deep within!

3. LOVE
(I only managed to put this up on the 7th and then the two others rolled out by 8th)

Who are you to anyone, but you
Might perceive like you do of me here
But you are just another to most
You have every aspect of your being
No one else needs to love
Just remember to love every inch
Lest you should only expect of others
What even you fail to give yourself
You expect love, trust and loyalty
Till the very end
But you were all you had
When you first began
Some people would say
They'd do anything for you any day
When time comes they'll fade away
Leaving you with just yourself
And the air hanging with all the lost
Love, loyalty and trust
Even if not a single person comes
No one to love you and show you
Remember that you are still beautiful
And passersby missed a jewel
I'd say this even to the ones
Who I've been hurt by
Because I grew to know the only way
The way I had seen in the mirror
Those selcas you took
You know you're beautiful
You're reflection is smiling
Radiating warmth
Through cold glass, water or ice
It's time you matched that
With the missing piece
Your million dollar smile
Genuine and laced with love
And don't let it droop
People may try and shatter that glass
But the reflection is still you
There are plenty more mirrors in the world, but there is only one of you.
