Seven
10 am: rise and shine 12 pm: let us dine 3 pm: sweat it out 10 pm: lights out (repeat) the clock keeps on ticking and I'm still here right where I was after May 27th. I've grown a year older but not sure if I'm any wiser. Still prefers night to day and sunrise over sunsets. The 15th of May will be D-Day whether I get to fly or fall from the dream I've been living in a cycle of waiting the alarm will blare                            (soon).

Love the rain Because when you want to cry, it cries for you. The sadness that you've been masking with your lessons on optimal economic behavior and historical imagination are soon to be washed away. Your most vulnerable thoughts: The way you hate and love being around people And How Your desire to be with someone scares the living hell out of you, will be revealed by the rain. Raw, Grimy, Muddy No more endless to-do lists No more dreading Mondays No more mountain of readings No more No more No more Because the pitter patter outside my window lulls my restlessness. It brings me solace. That awful things may come but wonderful things will also happen.

I want to paint you as the night sky the darkness that is I illuminated by indefinite stars, that is You.

Yearning
It makes me incredibly melancholic to not be able to see the sun rise. All I want is to sit by the shore and listen to the waves to and fro. But I must remember "you can't always get what you want," ... and the sun will always be there and the sea will always be there ... Maybe it's just really not my day.

It can't be not you I'm not mad not really just immensely disappointed Why you out of all of them I thought you'd remember at least to say it even if it was too late.

Birth of a Friend
It started with just a droplet of rain and the rest was history. We shared an umbrella under the raging storm. We got soaked from head to toe but who cares as long as I got to know the boy with the blue umbrella. Suddenly feelings rushed in and my mind was flooded with thoughts of you I could not help myself but recall our encounter that September night because My god that was beautiful.

Oh Boy
The girl stares right into me. Her eyes are the color of the trees I don't know what she's thinking about and I don't think I should know. But every time I look at her something in me grows. Indeed the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Raw
we present ourselves as perfect manuscripts nobody sees the crumpled rough drafts and messy handwriting scattered around the bedroom carpet at home. nobody has seen the way i've scratched out parts of myself that didn't fit into the high school mold then the parts that didn't fit into my suitcase when i moved away from home nobody has seen the revisions i've made do i sound too formal, am i too quiet, do i need to be a little bit funnier in order to be considered acceptable art? i've thrown entire scenes of my life into the trash because i don't want anybody to see them and i am ashamed i sit for hours staring at blank pages wondering how anyone could ever find me interesting enough to spend time with do you ever feel that way, too?

the way things are
The fate of the world is in three: first it expands and the sun goes farther away from the Earth and ends in ice. second it contracts and the sun goes closer to the Earth and ends in fire. third it collapses into itself and creates a whole new world. And I wonder why wonder about these when instead I should be thinking of what I should eat breakfast.
