i actually cried
out of happiness today.
today as in roughly half an
hour ago.
I was thinking
back
to a particular moment.
it’s funny how little moments sometimes go
by seemingly unnoticed when they’re
happening
yet in retrospect hold
a greater meaning
or realisation
-a defining moment so to speak.
apparently a feeling so intense
can cause the human brain to feel so overwhelmed
that it finds release and
calm
in tears.
have you ever felt
that way?
I wonder if I’m
the only
one
smilingly swimming in moments
filling up the pool whilst tears
stream down, down,
down.
Sticky Situation 
This is a truly beautiful poem, I love how the words easily flow (kinda like how water would in a swimming pool! 🌊😂 Or maybe as water is held/confined within a pool there is a sense of being trapped which may be a metaphor + cause the emotions written about feeling overwhelmed 😲). This was a very calming read and as you can probably tell, it really made me think! 🤣✨💗

“It really made me think” is probably the best feedback one can get when it comes to writing. Thank you for your incredibly kind comment and for sharing the thoughts this piece provoked with me! It’s always super interesting to see how others interpret things and I really like your take on it 🤗
