American I have changed my mind. I'm going to stay. / But I'm still going to be remove some of my older poetry, because I'll be putting it in a book. / / If you're paying attention, you'll read more from me. / / love and broken hearts, / Jessie
He says humans are so strange, with our self-absorbency. But when he points his finger out, he looks no different than me. Things will go unknown, Because they will not be said, Though it is unfortunate that at first sight, It seems as if what is known shouldn't be and what isn't should be, From an outsider looking in. But it doesn't matter Does it? as long as "everybody" is happie .

happie-ness.
fake a smile for after a while that simple deed could help one in need and may plant the seed of a smile that's real and then you will feel that there is really no doubt you have something to smile about.

fake a smile
I love to drink tea. It's just so good for me. But if I drink too much tea, It makes me really have to *** But there is no place I'd rather be; Even though I have to *** I will sit right here and drink my tea, As it's very good for me-- Just me and my cup of tea.

Tea
One night I was with a friend, Visiting and spending time. I took a sip of water, And set the glass on the table nearby Without looking. When I turned to the glass To take another sip, I noticed the glass was only Halfway On the Table. If the table is bumped, If I don't grasp the glass Just right It could fall. I looked at it, Almost afraid to Touch it. It was an accident Waiting To happen. I looked closer to the water in the glass And saw my reflection And realized That I was the glass, Just waiting to spilled, On the edge, Just waiting For someone to shake my table And let me fall To shatter on the ground With water all around.

imaginary. . . .
Life is too busy with its own simple demands, And subtle rejections for dreamers. She's been asleep For a day and a half, but she hasn't closed her eyes In over twenty four hours. She watches the Clock, begging it to move slowly. Just give her A little longer in her blanket, her bed, her Fortress, before the day has to begin. She lays frozen, like a fleshy Popsicle, Waiting for even hunger to offer a different Feeling. Life, with its tedious footsteps into the Office, and its lonesome visits to the shrine of the Porcelain god, for a moment of silence from Chatter over coffee, and the tapping of Keyboards; life is too noisy for dreamers. Just let her sleep a while longer, For dreams and darkness offer more To a mind starved for beauty, Than sunlit strolls to crowded buildings Ever did. She drinks her coffee with only One sugar, five times a day. She fills her Blood with caffeine and time. She watches the Clock, daring it to move quickly. She screams Inside her head until it's time to go home, and Lay back in bed.

There is no room in life for Dreamers
Good children, do not build castles in the sky. At first they may seem lovely and magical-- Because they are-- But! All castles have dungeons, And the dungeons Are where you keep your Fears and Worries and Inner demons. While you are frolicking Inside your castle walls, In a world constructed entirely Out of your imagination, The things you imagine but Pretend to forget Will creep out of their Darkness in the dungeons And turn your magical kingdom Into a frightful prison Of the Mind. Instead, good children, Build your Palaces in Poetry-- Dance with the rhythms, Sing with the rhymes, Build your imaginary world With words and stanzas Because these palaces Really exist-- You don't have to pretend! Just run away and hide in your Palace of Poetry, And paint the walls with Your stories, And trap your Worries and Fears In a corner, And fight them with your (S)words. Leave when Reality commands you to, But come back when you can. Lock the door each time you enter, Put the key in your pocket, And write yourself away.

Palaces in Poetry
I thought of you today. I haven't thought about you in a Very Long Time. The last thoughts I had of you were Thoughts of Pain-- Anger-- Fear-- Hatred-- All burning inside my chest Scorching to dust that Little thing I used to call My heart. But today, I am simply curious to know How you are. Amazing how things change Over time.

I thought of you today
Who the **** am I? What the **** am I doing? Where the **** am I going? How the **** am I getting there? Why the **** am I even here? And why the **** Do I care?
