Jumping

Here I go, head first
Jumping and not being pushed
Into the deep end.

dawned

a new day has dawned
as we are kissed by the sun
night is forgotten.

artificial

the days grow shorter
the nights bring the need for these
artificial lights

Balance

Life is a segway
If you let God handle it
It balances out.

My other bro told me to write about a segway.

Motionless

My feet haven't moved
And my breath is caught somewhere
But my mind's racing.

Both

Mountains or valleys
Quick heartbeats or slow exhales
Who are you to me?

Goodbyes

Please let me stand here
Just to watch you walk away;
Don't make me leave first.

Hello

Perhaps it is time.
I'll go back and say hello,
And maybe they'll smile.

Anya

Something about her
Shines without even trying
And everyone sees.

Repeat

If I repeat you,
Playing you endlessly here,
Will you stay with me?

Commotion

So much commotion
Takes over my tired brain
Can I just sit still?

Less

I think of you more
And yet you think of me less
I've messed this up now.
