Moment


I live moment to moment

Heck, I am the moments

I am that moment when you're in the middle of texting someone and they call you

Awkward. I'm awkward and no one seems to mind, but in my heart I feel like an inconvenience

I am that moment when the power goes out as they're announcing the lottery numbers

Annoying. And, exhausting. And why everyone seems to be so patient I can't fathom because I sure don't deserve it

I am that moment when you microwave a cup noodles and it overflows everywhere

Testing. And angering, and unending and

I am that moment when you're on your last nerve and the slightest thing finally makes you snap

I am that moment when you're so tired everything is funny, because there are no emotions left

I am that moment when you're crying because the laughter hurts and because there's nothing else to do

I am that rush of energy when you have nothing left

And I wouldn't have it any other way

Hello! The name I'm going by on the site is Trizdy Plat. I began writing poems in ninth grade, when I met my first friend at the high school. I had never really thought much about it, but I've always loved writing stories, even thought I'm not very good. I decided to try my hand at poetry instead, and here we are! I mainly write about love and relationships, even though I'm pretty much clueless in both areas. I find that poetry has a way of communicating what you want to say, even if what you're saying makes no sense. Right?
