I'm in your head, you are reading my very thoughts Somehow my energy has crossed paths, with you This isn't a theory you seeing this is proof, its true Imagine the power in this connection from fingers on a keyboard to affecting a reality close or far from me Imagine if we used this power for love We could all be one... haha let me stop getting sappy And just enjoy the connection we made and be happy :)

The Sonnet on: Life
When they tell you you are made of stars, do not let them forget what stars are made of. Stars are not glitter, not stickers on the ceiling, not there for decoration. Stars are chunks of collapsing galaxy. They are hundred-thousand mile wide nuclear furnaces that consume their surroundings into death. They are not friendly; they do not exist to write poems about. Stars are not made of metaphors. You are not made of other people’s words. When they tell you you are made of stars. look them in the eye and remind them that so are they, and so is the earth, and so is the gum on the bottom of your shoes, and so is the fist you will hit them with the next time they try to placate you with their condescending words – When they tell you you are different from others, ask them why you should want to be. Do not let them call you foreign. Do not let them trap you up on a pedestal, surrounded by books that cannot hurt them. Read things that can hurt them. Your mind is a forest richer than folklore; do not let your curiosity be reduced to an accessory. Your intelligence is not a fashion statement. Your existence is not a novelty. You are not a metaphor for someone else’s problems. When they tell you you are made of stars, tell them you have always known this. Tell them you have fire in your bone marrow, that you are burning with the deaths of the entire universe before you. When they tell you you are made of stars, tell them you know. Tell them they should keep their distance.

When the mess bred by ancient logicians is put to rest and we dicover: The chicken and the egg hatched in two different places at the same time; Love was an inverse relationship between lust and time; Infinity was a universe we couldn't see. Will conversation cease? Will silence replace speech? Will the larynx become a vestige? How will we debate the notes that compose silence?

silent dystopia
i do not read to lock myself away or to hide nestled between printed pages a book is not an escape because i don't read to forget why my heart is shattered or to chase away the eyes that haunt me at night a book is not an escape i do not read to be transported from this world to another leaving it all behind a book is not an escape i do not read with the intention to laugh or to cry or to fall in love with the ideals of a lie a book is not an escape i do not read for the wings words give me or the ability to breathe under waves a book is not an escape i do not read to be able to feel or to get wiser (a contradiction) or to be free or captured in the bars created by adjectives a book is not an escape i only read to be me

a book is not an escape
i don’t want to be someone who writes in pencil and eats too slowly and walks with eyes that are glued to the sidewalk and tops of strangers’ feet i’ve been underwater for so long that i’ve forgotten lungs are meant to be filled with air; exhaling seems more like something found on the second star to the right, rather than a process that is meant to be done twenty-three thousand times a day i feel like an old woman who looks in the mirror and all she can see are wrinkles and white hair and tired eyes and the absence of who she used to be but i am not someone who turns away from sunsets and pretends that darkness is all i’ve ever known; someone who thinks the sun will never rise again because the sun will rise again— the words hiding inside of me will find their way out, because i cannot hold my breath forever i am not someone who writes in pencil and erases the bits that are too honest and too imperfect and too real to claim as thoughts of my own i cannot keep my lips pursed and hands tied behind my back, i cannot keep pretending i am a shadow of who i used to be my tomorrows hold suns much brighter than ones that have risen over horizons of my past; i have not reached the summit yet there is so much more me for me to become each day, i am new.

i am not a shadow
Don't be scared to write in ink. Bleed your thoughts, let it carelessly infuse between the spaces of blank paper. You see, sweet-heart, at least one sliver of your soul will not feel so e mp ty

«Your life was offered to you; There is no greater gift. Forget the gold, forget the time, from life such things are born. But, if your eyes were meant to change the world, know this: The moment is now.»

To You
And He fetched for my heart Gentle Fast That was beating, Lub dub Banging until cracks Weakened into a hole Around my chest. No longer Lub dub But a panicked Hop hop, Leg-less run marathon Out of my rib cage. Lifeless, Pumping worry And jealousy, Replacing my blood, Until anxiety rowed broken sail boats In my veins. He grabbed it Said "Stop." "Patience." And that's how the heart learned How to play the waiting game.

I understand now. It's okay to wait. We're young. I know you love me & you know I love you. I know that won't change. Because everything will be okay at the end. -K.L.
