I think the best thing I can do now is prepare to take a bow. let you go and let you be but I still think I hear you sing for me. somewhere else, somewhere deep maybe somewhere else where we are free, maybe somewhere else where we are happy… when I was scared and lonely, you started humming your melody. I heard the dreams and the possibilities…the beauty of what could be. I searched and searched! I heard you first but I turned into dirt. I didn’t believe the song was anything but a stupid dream. that who I heard was an imaginary friend, some song my mind made intended to mend. then I found you and it was then i knew… I finally met the man who made the tune. heart starts to stutter mind gets the tingles feelings linger longer souls start to mingle we traveled far and fast with barely any gas but where we once would tesselate, there is now an impenetrable gate. a place I cannot go, a place I can not know. a place meant for those who saw the value in clothes. oh, how it feels to be torn at the seams! I cannot watch you grieve all the possibilities. I cannot watch you try and die. die die die inside. so i’ll wait for my ride one last time.

goodbye
I share more and more trying to get you to see the shores of where I was, where i was trying to be. yet all we see is misery: the pain and stains of me, of who I used to be. we will that I could have seen all the things that could have been… but it is what it is. i am stuck with this. if only one thing changed, I know it wouldn’t be the same.

Echoes of Me
down the road, feeling the feels… she spots a toad she wants to steal. “take a step back,” she says to herself and wanders away to somewhere else. she wonders why she wanted that toad so much and realizes she just wanted to touch… something, anything with feels—so she would know this was all real.

acceptance
she didn’t care so much back then… but she highkey did cos she remembers when she had dreams of a man just like him. if only she knew what she could have if she was a lil less…well, bad. “if she was a lil more this and a little less that…” if what if if only I could go back! - R E D A C T E D - (if only she had a _o__ ___. if only she didn’t have _______ ________ ____ _. if only she never ____ th___ m___a___. if only she had a __r___ s_____. if only she was taught that h__ _____ and ____ are _________, and that _ ___e__e to __ l____ and v_____.) - R E D A C T E D - strange… to never know what’s inside another’s mind to be nearby and close yet never truly show what lies inside all the holes. how can we expect another to fix things that we cannot even lift? it soothes me to think of this an inner locus(t) of control is bliss.

INTANGIBLE MUNCHIES
pushed through walls I thought I knew, until they flew. smoked flower and drank alcohol, until I lost it all. sang songs and danced to music, until I got sick. kept it locked up in my head, until the words were said.

sober
She was a book, not a girl but her thoughts whirled. Round and round like a ferris wheel, never forgotten, but never real. Falling and falling from the clouds, then she crashed, screaming loud. “Are you okay?” I say to her, but she says nothing, not a word. I turn her over, look for her face, but see nothing but a book in its place. I turn her pages, one by one, until all the pages come undone. She opens her eyes and looks at me, then says, “I’m finally free.”

The Girl Who Fell Out of the Story
Freedom is free and romance is rosy. Hardships will release and life can be cozy. Just hold onto hope and keep on breathing. You will see each day is worth living.

Free Rose
Breathe calmly, as best you can. Don’t forget the lay of the land. Remember your friends… your family too. And always think of the little you.
