My Own Reality Sign
By: Valeen Kan
I don’t know my feelings anymore
I feel insanity enveloping me
Not allowing a small opening
For me to taste happiness
Struggling to stay loyal
Yet why do I long for you more & more
When I shouldn’t
Why do you indirectly cloud my reasoning?
I see your face
I see his face
Why do you appear on my mind?
He should appear, not you
Doesn’t make sense why
My mind can be this messy
Only one reason remains
You must be my own reality sign
I'm a girl raised in Brunei. A final year student majoring in Professional Communication & Media Studies at Universiti Brunei Darussalam. I was first introduced to the world of poetry by my previous English teacher, Miss Irene Chong back when I was in Form 1.
Wrote my first poem called "My Family of Nature", a pretty simple poem, straightforward and I'm still proud of it as it is my first step in venturing into the poetry world. I wish I can rhyme like other poets but hopefully I can in time. When it comes to writing poems, I prefer to just write and let my heart out instead of making my poems full of metaphors. I have a blog (express-portal.blogspot.com) where I post poems & some random things I write from a writing prompt app. I've been working on some articles in hopes to inspire people but it's still not finished as I'm busy with assignments.
