I asked my anxiety if we could take a day off. It laughed, checked its calendar, then penciled in a panic attack just to remind me who’s really in charge of the schedule. #poetryhumor #softchaos #anxietypoem #quietrebellion #relatablepoetry

Rainy Tuesday. The sky forgot its lines, so it mumbled all day in gray. Somewhere, a coffee cooled. Somewhere else, a plan unraveled. Both were fine.

Goodnight. May your mind quiet its echo, may your heart unclench just enough, and may tomorrow meet you gently— no grand epiphanies, just breath and room to try again.

Why does opening a new sponge feel like a fresh start, but throwing out the old one feels like betrayal? Domestic life is weird. I just wanted to wash a plate, not confront my attachment issues.

Sundays don’t ask for much— just soft clothes, slow thoughts, and maybe a second cup of coffee you don’t have to apologize for. It’s the only day that forgives you for needing quiet more than progress.

Poetry Prompt: Write a poem that starts with a small sound— a creaking floorboard, a ticking clock, the click of a lighter— and ends with something you’re still not ready to admit out loud. #poetryprompt #writingprompt #quietconfessions #everettsays #poetrycommunity
