Oasis T.

I'm Oasis, a medical student with a love for words. Life can be intense, but poetry is my way of finding peace and purpose. This space is where I share my thoughts, emotions, and a bit of the world as I see it through my poems.

Join me on this journey, where medicine meets art, and every word holds a story.

Dear fig,

One hot summer's day

I was wondering how

in this spinning world

God bestowed upon me

a home called you.

Yours,

wasp

- Oasis T.

A trail through the forest

Dark and cold

Stumbling footsteps

No hand to hold.

Distant sirens

Echoing through

Ragged breaths

Blood turns blue.

Cloud veiled moon

Hungry predators

Bruised limbs

And a torn sweater.

A Long journey

No end in sight

Still continues

The struggle, the fight.

- Oasis T.

He pinned me down

With his scary eyes

His voice was loud

Whimpering, I realized

Goosebumps on my skin

Shivers through my spine

I saw in his eyes

Those monsters were mine

- Oasis T.

Tonight, a father wept for his

lost daughter,

Appalled by deeds of his fellow

men.

Tonight, a student lost his

guiding star

To the flawed system he is bound

to serve.

Tonight, a patient's final

breath was stolen

By the disease our society

continues to ignore.

Tonight, we lost more than just

a doctor.

Tonight, the citizens of this country

Lost another piece of their

fragile freedom

To the justice that is always

too late.

I felt lost after

an exhausting day

and from the path

I swayed away.

Closing my eyes,

I prayed and prayed

for time to stop,

for the moment to stay.

I wanted to talk

to someone, somewhere.

Needed some love

and a little care.

In this world

where nothing's fair,

my eyes met yours.

You were always there.

She believed her feelings for him were tangible,

And that they were reciprocated.

However, things have changed.

She grew up to realise how rotten the world is,

And how naive she had been -

Wearing her heart on her sleeves

And hoping to touch the sky.

Now, he tries to get her attention,

but she is over and done with it.

She is becoming her own person

And she'll be someone she is proud to be.

Don't want to see your struggles,

Unable to feel your pain.

You only add up to their troubles.

What's your use if they don't gain?

Your life should be perfect -

That's the least you can try.

Not interested in your battles

Or the nights when you cry.

You are so easy to overlook,

So simple to ignore,

When they can't understand

Why your tender heart is sore.

They don't have time for themselves.

Why would they give it to you?

They don't know how to love truly.

Anything different about you?

- Oasis T.

Let's run away to the stars

And leave everything behind. 

Together we'll tell the moon

About the peace so hard to find. 

We'll ask the planets their secrets. 

How do they keep their pace? 

Why don't they stutter and stumble

While we fall on our face? 

Let's disappear in the darkness

And never ever return. 

Shadows cannot haunt us

Without the rays of the sun. 

After all, the beauty of mornings

And the blue noon skies

Do not compare to the serenity

Of a starless night. 

- Oasis T.

I want to hold your hands

and to hug you tight,

To sleep in your stupid arms

through the night.

I keep seeing you though

you are out of sight.

You are messing with my head,

my heart is no longer mine.

I am living in a daydream

that is so beautifully you.

You seem so perfect,

I don't know what to do.

These feelings I've caught for you

are making me dizzy

While you don't have time for me,

you are too busy.

Guess I will just be an onlooker,

an insignificant passerby

Or if I am lucky,

a person to whom you say 'hi'.

Maybe tomorrow you will be

gone with the winds

And I will not chase you,

I am not the one who wins.

Your smile will persist

like an everlasting scar

And I will remain the girl

who loved you from afar.
