Sit Straight, Awais.

Sometime in Spring 2022

At three in the night as everyone sleeps tight
I twist and turn, with rising concern

Why can’t I sleep? Where’s the peace I found?
Was time not supposed to heal my wound?
Was progress not supposed to provide me the happiness
Previously in you that was found

How is it that after working till a burnout
And laughing and talking, making friends too
Going on trips and planning long hikes
How is it that still I don’t feel fine?

Is this because I still miss you?
Or is it the memories I want to recreate, with anyone?
Or is it simply because I have stepped out of my comfort zone
While trying to sit straight, I broke the bone!
