Iliana Ilieva Poem
I feel like I'm still in a state
of dreaming
as my body floats
itself to a chair
and I stare blankly
at the air.
That state of
calm.
Like floating
on smooth water
in a daze
and quiet.
Like the peacefulness
after a hurricane..
everything is calm
and silent
as you see the sky in front of you
open
and you float.
Every muscle in your body
has let go.
At ease
you float.
And in a place between awake
and asleep
I see the movie more clearly
that was playing in yesterday's dream.
It's black and white
and every shade in between.
But I see as if I'm there
in person.
It's a musical.
They are singing
he is sitting
she is dancing.
Black and white
it is night
it is.. like
that scene where she sings
about turning 16
in Sound of Music,
my favorite movie growing up,
but this isn't the same.
My head throbs
because maybe
it is wrong
to explain too much.
Or maybe I'm still dreaming
and really out of
or in
touch.

Iliana Ilieva Poem
My list
consists
of what to do next.
Yet I can't bring myself
to know where to start.
Priorities
above the heart.
Hmmm..
My list
consists
of what to do next,
With all due respect,
I'm doing my best.
I don't know
which to do first.
Me, Us, or You.
Take a deep breath
and take off my shoes.
My list
consists
of all my desires.
Yet some I can't see
on here, they've expired.
It's like teaching me to hike
when I want to fly.
Yet you have to climb up
to touch the sky.
My list
consists
of super powers
looking passed these
I can see that I'm nuts.
Or maybe I dream big
that ain't no fuss.
I think I can do this..
No, I must.
My list
consists
of dreams I can't miss
I long for the freedom
prosperity brings.
Teach me to be
Teach me to see
Teach me to be mindful
of my thoughts and beliefs.
My list
is forever
All I want to do and learn.
My life is never boring
When I always yearn.
Hey, it's a good day,
"Don't worry"
They say.
We come in the voices
you trust most
in your head.
I laugh
at my noises,
distractions, reactions.
I laugh
because everything I do
I do with passion.
Invested in me
I'm so open to see.
Where I am standing
Is exactly where
I'm supposed to be.
And please do not mistake,
I love where I am.
On the days that feel harder,
I throw a tantrum and weep.
And then I get up
I brush myself off,
I laugh and I joke
"I'm better off".
I don't see this as wrong
I see it as growth.
I see now each moment
an opportunity
to focus on what I want.
