Seasons Changing
Jarred Karsten Jun 2020
You'll find me again
Hopefully by then you've changed
I hope I will too
Sometime people meet at the wrong point in their life and you have to let each other find themselves independently. Hopefully our souls cross again

Be free
Jarred Karsten Jun 2020
Sometimes love is a bug
That you have caught in a jar
You must let them free

Constantly Growing Up
Jarred Karsten Jun 2020
The trees keep growing
The flowers keep blossoming
Shouldn't we still grow?
With everything happening in the world I find it strange that people always say thats how it's always been or that is how Ive always done it. Life is continually growing and changing into a better you. Don't stunt your growth

the love I've been given
But I love you all

Notification of dopamine
Jarred Karsten Nov 2019
I glance at my phone
Look for a glow that's not there
Then I check again.
Sometimes we are all attached to our phones waiting for the next reply from a close friend or lover.

Breath of fresh air
Jarred Karsten Nov 2019
Roll it, light it, smoke.
Puff puff pass it to the left.
Take a deep breath, relax.

Burning Bridges

Memories trapped in the past
We have grown apart

Unreciprocated
Jarred Karsten Nov 2019
You don't always get
everything you've given out
back, and that's okay

Insomnia farming
Jarred Karsten Nov 2019
I should start a farm
of sheep so I'll have enough
To count when I sleep

Butterflies
Jarred Karsten Nov 2019
You were standing there;
Our eyes met, I saw that smile.
Thats when I was sure

Tempered Glass
Jarred Karsten Nov 2019
I may seem fragile,
but I'm tempered by the flames
of pure devotion.

No more Facades
Jarred Karsten Nov 2019
I saw you crying
And even for a moment
I saw the real you

The Mommas And The Pappas

Beers had with laughter
Bondings had with hugs and tears
Life-long memories

Don't break my stride
Jarred Karsten Oct 2019
I'm not okay but
Day by day I keep going
It's getting better
One step at a time. Take it easy, it's okay to be not okay; just don't stop trying to get better.

Autopilot
Jarred Karsten Oct 2019
Today was a dream
Unconsciously I worked
Whilst the mind wondered
Dissociated hard at work today and daydreamed while my body performed medial tasks on its own.

Present Tense
Jarred Karsten Oct 2019
Yesterday is gone
Where will I be tomorrow
Still in the present
You cannot change the past; you can only plan for the future. While you are always stuck in the present.

Restless Nights
Jarred Karsten Apr 2019
Pondering dark thoughts
Tossing and turning in sweat
Yearning for slumber

Dissociation
Jarred Karsten Apr 2019
Some days seem real
Feeling grounded where I stand.
Other days slip reality
Like floating
                       away
                                 in
                                     a
                                       dream.

Graveyard of Serenity
Jarred Karsten Mar 2019
Gazing upon stars
Illuminating the sky
Even after death
Sometimes I get lost in the night sky wondering how many stars arw actually dead but we cab still see their glow of life

— The End —
