First upload. This is part of a small collection of poems which I am currently trying to compose. I don't want to give any further description. It means what you think it means. Thank you.

-self-awareness-

If I know you just a bit,
the touch of  your loving hand
as you slam it upon the stage of this world
is welcome
To this same world I see you present
illusions of hundred colors 
just in case I miss an inch of you
Though it's my eyes' job
to stay open at all times
and not close if rain decides
to paint the sky a darker shade
Like windows during springtime
it's their job to remain open
Others' eyes sadden me not for
most of them are sad and ignorant
Their mouths state the obvious
for you to repeat, but
you do not indulge them 
You water them with thought, in hopes
they gradually bloom
Black tears upon my cheeks,
dripping curiosity in liquid form
  Those eyes of mine
avoiding others of the same youth
for the galaxies within your blue windows
are all I want when
looking for that fix
I' m not
ruled by rules
If I know myself at all

Author's Note

Ariana Papastergiou
I know I might sound extremely over my head right now but, if you feel like any of the lines express you in a certain way, only known to you, and you want to post any of them on social media, please mention that this particular piece was written by me. I am trying to get something out there. I am also very interested in knowing what you felt while reading it. Like, please tell me if you felt something. Ignore the absence or syntax rules or grammar rules. This is modern. This is spontaneous. This barely took any editing time. It's straight out of my heart. Don't try to guess who is the "you" to whom I refer. That is only for me to know. Instead, picture whoever ,you , want when thinking about that "you". A friend. A mother. A father. A lover. A sibling. A stranger you saw on the street. Whoever you wish. Thank you very much. Be kind with me.
