When Life Hits Different

Nostalgia— Childhood core

By Maryam BatoolPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

The first Morning stretch after the best sleep

Life hits different when I go to sleep after I weep

Sitting on the last bench when we secretly ate our snacks

Life hits different when we're cheating and the teacher's at our backs

I love winters only for one reason; that reason is GOAT

Life hits different to find money in the pockets of my old Coat

I didn't do my homework! Shit, tomorrow's Monday

Life hits different to wake up believing it's Monday, but Voilà! It's Sunday

Winter is my nemesis! All night the ticking of all the clocks?

Life hits different when you step in water while wearing socks!

Sometimes I think we should spill out the joke that's caged in our draft

Life hits different when you said a joke unintentionally and everyone laughed!

Although, I don't feel special at home, my siblings treat me like "pity"

Life hits different when a toddler waves at you in public— hehe, Celebrity!

When mom's raging up! No reason, just out of the blue

Life hits different when you know you're next in the queue

I saw a shooting star up high, a dream that touched the blue,

Life hits different, still we rush, when a plane breaks through.

When someone you love; Loves you back

Life hits different when we're on the same track!

When someone you want, wants you in the same space

Life hits different to know they are your safe place

I just want a life where I can steal all the pineapples from the cake,

Life hits different when the ones you love wish you 'happy birthday' for your sake

Life’s too short to dwell on those who’ve hurt,

Life hits different when you find those who truly care and never desert

.

Author's Note:

Give me a couplet in the comments, when you feel like "Life hits different" for you!

And that 'Pineapple' part is my love seriously! A poem, A diary, and pineapples... I can live with these forever.
