22/F I love each and every loose end I possess / "Perhaps I am stronger than I think" -Thomas Merton
I am the kind of girl who has never once forgotten The name of everyone she's ever had a crush on I am the kind of girl who has never stopped loving Or feeling guilty and ashamed

?
In my dreams I am single Building wealth and surrounded by friends The desert sun kisses me awake And continues making love to my soul all through the day In my dreams I am limitless and free My ambition is unchallenged and naysayers are ****** I move in authenticity Which only arouses me more In my dreams I am alive Dancing through every gifted moment Flames of passion rush through my veins And my every cell vibrates with excitement But when I wake up it all crashes And I am deafened by the silence I am compressed by the limitations of the one next to me But it isn't his fault; it's my own

Lust for Liveliness
I'm reading your favorite book The one I saw you reading months ago With the broken spine And worn thin pages Discovering more and more pieces of you In every tumbling line Every word takes my breath away Reminding me how in love I am with your soul I look up from the print as you do a little dance Everything you make is perfect and the lemon drops have my head a little spinny Even in our spats we fall deeper in love Our apartment overlooks the city Each and every night is so romantic Our love is passionate and deep and real We go on the greatest adventures No two days are the same And I finally feel alive and supported in my drive But none if it's real because for all I know That book was bought used for a class assignment due the next day I'll never know because I never got up the courage to ask

Illusion
I think it's finally time to file the papers My love is infinite but it's turned platonic

Dying
Speckled concrete jitters Sweaty knees knocking Three seconds of brave And she leaps Exhilarating She's flying and confidence rises Risk is what she craves Knowing even three weeks ago She never would have Said yes to adventure To life But now she refuses to say no Even when she's terrified And has one second of "oh ****

Italian shores sparkling like champagne New York streets bustling, humming my name Sedona palms and eternal light Lou'siana grandeur, twinkling nights

Another Plane of Existing
Inside me there is a beast clawing Its bloodied talons are sharpened on my bones Gently tearing through every fiber of sinew I have Each direction I try to run I am met only with conflict All the walls around me are thick with rebar jagged The room I am trapped in is flooding I cannot breathe I cannot see My chest is full of fire and the beast is thriving Excited by the torment I inflict on myself Two lives, two dreams, unattainable Unsustainable The war drum pounds around my heart I dig deeper, the dirt caked into my bleeding nails Missiles fly overhead, deafening laughter Never will I win in the looping soundtrack of what if

Traitor
I want to fall in love Deep and passionate and sparkly I want to feel that high again And I'm terrified I'll be chasing it the rest of my life
