real talk: i'm looking for a place in to live in sf and it's such a disheartening, time consuming endeavor. been feeling beyond overwhelmed, defeated, having less and less faith things work out the way i want them to. my energy is just drained, empty. . realized this custom poem i wrote for someone is really for myself. . in my wallowing in this emptiness, i'm wishing everyone an experience of vastness. and the energy to look again, as many times as it takes. . and if you know of an affordable, beautiful, bunny friendly 1-2 bedroom in SF, please hit me up! . #poem #poetry #custompoetry #custompoem #ondemand #ondemandpoem #ondemandpoetry #ondemandpoet #thepoetrystore #silvialcivar #silvi #pacific #faith #void #vast #words #writersofig #writersofinstagram #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #beinghumanishardsometimes #loveyourselfbest

how to be alive 182. before you speak, wait for the moment your heart and head connect, especially if anger has kissed your lips, or envy has pushed you in a direction you didn't think you'd go, or misunderstanding's hugged you so tight you begin to lose touch with your feet on the ground. practicing patience is everything. silvi .

this is actually the title of a poem i just finished for a manuscript i've been working on which i rework and submit every year to the yale younger series of poets competition. every year i am not even close to being a winner of any kind. it's cool though. process accounts for way more than product sometimes. and i can keep trying til i'm 40. . #howtobealive #poetry #describetheday #process #product #writing #manuscript #title #wip #beinghumanishardsometimes #writersofinstagram #writersofig #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #practicemakesperfect #justkeeptrying #silvialcivar #365project
