What Will I Do

what will i do
no job
no love
just this old married man calling me to say hi
oh please universe send me something better for this life
I am at peace
I get depressed maybe I dont want to be happy
maybe i like staying hungry
the memory of us helps me to be
he left me a voice mail on sunday
its like I knew he would  come back to me
I miss my baby
its making me crazy
but i am no longer that lady
I am a butterfly in the sky under yellow light
living a new life
I read a meme online it is better to be poor and honest
then rich and evil
I feel it is true
still I wonder what will I do

What will I do....this is like a mini-movie to me Butterfly...

Interesting how your ID on here is Butterfly as it feels like this is written by a butterfly seeing a safe haven in this world....The first half sounds kinda sad, but then the second half your words become more upbeat...:)

A butterfly in the sky under yellow light
Living a new life..

Feel free to stop by and check out one of my poems some time,...

Making a decision during confusion is unbearably difficult. A little or more time to way up the pros and cons.. both sides of your muddled thoughts, is imperative. Give yourself a period of time, be it short or otherwise: make two lists, Yes and NO.
promise yourself to be honest whether how you feel or not - whichever seems to answer your doubt or doubts - decide. If you don't do that, you might well lose yourself to eternal indecision. If you can create such a wonderful poem, your mind and heart can work wonders and help you slip then step into a wonderful finale. Be strong.. and end happy ever after.

This poem really hits home. It’s messy, honest, and full of real feelings confusion, longing, strength. That line about being a butterfly under yellow light feels like hope after pain. Your poem, It’s raw, but there’s quiet strength in it too.
But I really really hope that you didn't went through this.. even if you did I hope that you're doing all better now. So please, don't starve yourself, don't suffer for someone else. You alone are ENOUGH. You are you and that's all that matters. So be sure to properly take care of yourself.. I really mean it when I say this. Even if you aren't sad you should still take care of yourself.

Hiii Butterfly,

Its soo sad you're going through those emotions and the back and forth of ending a relationship.

I really enjoyed how you said "I am a butterfly in the sky under the yellow light living a new life." That you adopted this new identity and have embraced it. Staying true to the cozy you. 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰

Hang in there. As the world turns for me it also turns for you showing us that time continues ahead even if we'd like it to stop.

Thanks for another good one
