sometimes
people choose to be sad
because it’s hard to be happy
when you’re so filled with pain
sometimes
i choose to be happy
because people don’t like frowning
and people are important
sometimes
i wonder if it is all my fault
i don’t want it to be
so i hope its not
sometimes
i wonder if you’ll come around
the smiles you gave me
I think maybe it will

i hate you
for showing me what love was
because now
nothing else matches up
and i don't believe in fair
not anymore

wallflower:
beautiful
smart
powerful
wonderful
inexplicably insistently incredibly
more beautiful than those who no longer
see that she is there
smarter than those that built her walls
so tall and so bound together
more powerful than those who speak for her
as if she were silenced forever
more wonder in a fraction of her brain
because she sees everything you miss
everything you so
inexplicably insistently incredibly
believe does not exist

gardening is hard
I’m tired of cultivating things
that don’t want to grow
as if no one were dependent
on their seed and their fruit
they’re selfish and greedy
rotten and wreathing
sunlight can’t help them
they can’t see the light
I’ve tried shining brightly
through all of their darkness
light doesn’t last forever
it’s a precious resource
you can’t leave the light on
you can’t blow out the fire
they’ll be ok
I’ve left them alone
now they can go do as they please
hopefully happier without me
I want them to stand tall…
I can no longer suffer and cry
if they just want to fall

I can’t hear you today
I hope you’re not lost
Please come back soon
I’m scared without you
You’re really nice to me
It’d be sad to see you go
You’re kind and sweet
It’d be sad to see you go
I can’t hear you today
Over the rain
I’ve never seen your face
I think you’d be better than they
You’re smaller and wider
And brighter all over
They’re stronger and wiser
And more than I’ve ever
I just want to hear you
Just one last time
I need you, I need you
Take me back in time
I won’t see you today
Or ever, forever
But I’ll keep you up here
Even as they take over

the sky is blue gray today
lights fell from the ceiling in every room
my beats fluttered near them
tapping and tapping on the ground
streaming with alarm
a part of me missed the calm
a piece of me radiated a pretty kind of melody
I can’t stop to catch up
I just keep running and jumping up and down and forgetting
the sky is blue-gray today
even if my heart is yelling pink and black and yellow
our lives are never fleeting
colors are always fading
tap a little louder today
near my heart
hear it play

wave
the damp sand beneath my toes
my hair blowing away as quick as my fear
the specks of white in the dark
were ever so prominent
yet they still managed to get lost
in my desperate existence
lines unclear and blurred
the fluttering of anxious chatter
and the light of my favorite eve
surrounding me;
drifting with the wind
fighting to catch my breath
the darkness entertained me
its levels and intricate motions
its vast perfection and
mysterious circles of doubt
consuming my every sense
my sight cold and damp
my voice a broken love
my hands numb
becoming lost in myself
unable to decipher my fears
versus my joys
forced to partake in a false sense of joy
focused on the light and the clear
still knowing and holding
the real beauty within the unknown;
lying in a sea
of blurred edges and imperfections
a dark winding path becomes a sea of light
loss and frustration become clear and aware
my wounds are open for all to see
but amazingly
the salt water manages to wipe them clean

i am a book
the pages bear more weight than the words that we read
they hold something infinitely greater
bound tightly together
echoing blatant catastrophes
never believe in what you see
its a purple sea of doubt and disbelief
trust the extraordinary
contemplate the known
breathe in your madness
until your liquid at your core
become the beauty that is the earth
let it transcend into you
read the book again
read the lines you tripped over
read the bleeding bound that has fallen apart
feel the thin crinkled paper in your hands
take in the smell of an old book that feels as if its withered away
in your very hands
release
line it up
rows and rows and rows on end
more and more and more
words and words
disappearing
till there's none left

unknowing
Theres something beautiful about it
Something almost inherently artistic
That gets you to lay low and swing deep
With the innocence we don’t know and can’t reach
The divinity is incomprehensible
amazing
impossible
but tangible
it cant hurt us
it cant help us
and its quiet like the sea
and the part of our breaths that guide us to sleep
its in everything

we live in a picture
we live in a picture…
in an idea that consistently manages
to be greater than itself
and deeper than a sonorous of emotions
merging to give us
an inexplicably ethereal point of view
our world is c o n s t r u c t e d
we create our own future
above
up
whether we shine
with a luminescence brighter than the shining sun
or burn out
fade into the false existence
that is a life
of (solidarity) and a silent pain
suffer and whine
live and proclaim
who is who
you are you
break your glass ceilings
everybody doesn't exist
forgetting what surrounds you
is your greatest fear
and the thing that makes you stronger
breathe…
deep…
open your eyes
look at what you love
remember what matters
then…
begin
…paint the picture you want to live in

I am ugly,
submerged in my own past,
and my own madness.

i miss you
the way you used to smile and laugh and sway effortlessley with confidence the way you'd greet the sun and a bowl of chocolate you were smart conscious you took your heart and you learned from it your emotions entirely intact crystaline clear they were perfecr you knew how to feel things without losing control of how you were feeling the way you could shake things off the way you could forget the way things didn't affect you detached floating in free air far away from the dark i hate you for being perfect i miss the way you could down a pint of ice cream the way you could swing and play and scream with all your joy and might i miss the way you used to smile

i love you
i love you
for hurting me the best you could

after all that pain I’ve felt
nothing else hurts
