Greetings, everyone,

It's been a while since I last checked in, but there's a method to my madness, as they say.

As I navigate through my final year of high school, I've come to realize that the grades I'll be pulling in this June are crucial. They're the ticket to my next adventure, prepping for college. Now, don't get me wrong, my love for poetry hasn't wavered one bit. It's just that I've decided to take a breather from sharing my work online. Social media's cool and all, but if I'm serious about nailing those exams, I gotta cut out the distractions – and that means dialing down my online presence. Think of it as an extended detox, like I mentioned in my last post.

But hey, after surviving some major exams, I'm back in action! And let me tell you, I've got a stack of new poems ready to roll. I'll be dropping them daily, just like the good old days. I hope you'll enjoy them – I've been soaking up knowledge like a sponge lately.

Take care, and here's to brighter days ahead!

Warm regards,

Ariana ;)

A Change of State Matter shifts through its states, threefold, Solid, liquid, gas, stories untold. Sometimes, I'm akin to such transitions, Solid, firm, with structured renditions. Yet futile it seems, this rigid guise, A veneer to smother, where emotions arise. Then liquid, I flow, adapt, adhere, To circumstances, situations, unclear. Letting all things effortlessly glide, In this fluid state, I often reside. But mostly, I find myself in the gas, Invisible, yet present, in moments that pass. In the air, but not quite seen, Yet you require me, for reasons unseen. Silent observer, I linger, aware, Shifting my form, in the currents of air. Yet, does the change hold any sway? Am I the same, regardless of display? A change of state, perhaps in vain, For whether transformed or still the same, I remain, steadfast, true to me, In all my forms, eternally free.
