Day 271

Bound in hesitation

This heart’s expectation

Sitting in reflection

Awaiting your affection.

Rusted Free. Busted Open. Pulled Apart. Melted Loose.Fiercely Undone. Consciously Unrooted. . Another post from the AGO. I fell in love with this wall, but didn’t quite know what I wanted to say here. However, I started thinking about what it means to be free (from your past and your limits). The phrases I chose to fill in the blanks revolved around being a fighter and being aware. Fiercely Undone and Consciously Unrooted reflect the process of my own unchaining. . Becoming free is a purposeful movement. . How are you unchaining yourself? . .

Swipe left to see the poster by @ocaduniversity that inspired the poem. . “The first casualty of war is truth.” Those words resonated with me and I could not stop thinking about them. . It is also coming to the end of Black July. A month Sri Lankan Tamils use to remember the 1980 riots that saw the loss of too many lives. . There has been so much pain and unrest and I am frustrated. . . . . . . #writing #writersofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #poems #challenges #trying #positivevibes #poetryporn #tamilpoet #tamilgirl #wordporn #mypoeticheart #poemsbymanivillie #torontopoet #torontopoetry #torontopoetssociety #mypoeticheart #poem_pic #poem #poetryislife #poetrycommunity #poetry #poet #toronto #war #peace #priceofwar #loss #blackjuly

Wordless . I am contemplating all the things I say to myself when I am wordless; the thoughts that run through my head. I struggle with my craft all the time. What should I say? How should I say it? On social media, who do I want to be? Am I ready to share the parts that are imperfect and broken? Though I guess my poems tell that side of me too. . Can I tell you a secret? I hate the sound of my voice. It's nasally and high. I can give you a long story about why my voice is the way it is and why I have issues with it - but maybe that’s a story for another day. . But the thing is, as I grow as a poet, I find myself having to confront this insecurity (?). The more I perform and share videos on social media, the more I encounter the sound of my voice - and it’s such a bizarre process. Recognizing that, with the pursuit of passion, comes the need to embrace ALL of me, no matter how uncomfortable. . 📸: @artbythiviyaa . . . . . . . . . . #writing #writersofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #poems #challenges #trying #positivevibes #poetryporn #tamilpoet #tamilgirl #wordporn #mypoeticheart #poemsbymanivillie #torontopoet #torontopoetry #torontopoetssociety #mypoeticheart #poem_pic #poem #poetryislife #poetrycommunity #poetry #poet #toronto #insecure #nofilter #strong #selflove #voice

Happy Victoria Day!!! . I enjoy long weekends for the time I get to reconnect with my friends and family; and of course the extra day off work to recover - though I never seem to rest that day 😋. Anyway just wanted to share a bit of fun from the weekend. Hope you guys enjoy your week and hopefully the sun is shining where you are. .
