I was 12. I must have been in the 8th grade.
That would mean Bahrain. Home.
I was going to move to India at the end of that year.
On my flight out, I waved GoodBye to a shrinking dot below.
A year later someone reminded me that I forgot to mention it to any of my friends.
(that I was leaving the island..)

What a coincidence! I was leaving Bahrain again.
I was happy to be done with school.

Last year
Staying alive never felt more mechanical.
I was living on 2nd gear.

optimistic

Its sunny outside
The mist has cleared
My sweat smells sweet
I miss the moon

I sit up to smile
I'm being optimistic

I see ideas floating about
Some words are missing

Life stands waiting

I'm conscious of my breathing,
I try not to stand in its way
I can sense every limb,
ligament and nerve.
