Here's to the contrite spirits with broken hearts and enervated minds.
To those whose bodies are spent and whose hands are lifeless.
To the sleepless eyes and disintegrated hopefuls.
To those who have sunk into bitter darkness and can not identify the light.
Here's to the lives lost before death.

I look to my left,
I see envy.
I see hate.
I see greed.

I look to my right,
I see hunger.
I see heartache.
I see death.

I look down,
I see lust.
I see pain.
I see sickness.

I look up.
I see love.
I see hope.
I see peace.

I am fruit snacks and dragon tales.
I am trips to the Cape and tan lines.
I am country music and pearl earrings.
I am black raspberry ice cream and late night drives.
I am yoga at noon and apple picking in the fall.
I am Loud.
I am Loved.
I am Alive.

Whoever said paper cuts are the worst kind of pain, has never seen their prince go off with the wrong princess.

Her auburn hair kisses the water
Her face softens
She drifts with ease through the waves
The warm touch of the water sets her free.
Careless
Calm
Connected,
Her heart slows as the waves grow quicker
The warmth grows cold
The soft water kisses her lungs
Her eyes soften
The cold touch of the water sets her free.

The lights are silenced,
But several flames stay alight.
Reflections of the warmth flicker on her face.
She inhales with hope and exhales with her wishes in faith.
Nature's purest joy.

Blank walls
White lights
Cornered in
Four walls
Burdened by my mind
Weakened by my heart
Sleepless and angry,
I stare at the ceiling ,
Wishing and waiting.
