***<\/strong><\/span>
\n I need to write an upside-down poem \u2013<\/strong><\/span>
\n the moment I spotted the prompt, I rushed<\/strong><\/span>
\n towards it,<\/strong><\/span>
\n as I still remember how very often<\/strong><\/span>
\n I felt like that,<\/strong><\/span>
\n I remembered how strongly I related<\/strong><\/span>
\n to the cliche,<\/strong><\/span>
\n to the awkwardness,<\/strong><\/span>
\n to the confusion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I rushed to open a new word doc<\/strong><\/span>
\n to simply see:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

my life has stopped its topsy-turvy<\/strong><\/span>
\n movement,<\/strong><\/span>
\n it\u2019s lost its gullible<\/strong><\/span>
\n and musing edge<\/strong><\/span>
\n that used to threaten<\/strong><\/span>
\n to kick me off my balance<\/strong><\/span>
\n and leave me stranded,<\/strong><\/span>
\n upside down<\/strong><\/span>
\n on a barren, unfamiliar piece<\/strong><\/span>
\n of soul-land.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I realised my life<\/strong><\/span>
\n has calmed, has settled down,<\/strong><\/span>
\n has gained its weight<\/strong><\/span>
\n and lost its unsteadiness<\/strong><\/span>
\n that once made me<\/strong><\/span>
\n on egde,<\/strong><\/span>
\n afraid of the dark,<\/strong><\/span>
\n and adventurously<\/strong><\/span>
\n alive.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

No upside-down poem<\/strong><\/span>
\n from me<\/strong><\/span>
\n this time around.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
