Were I blind to truth
and should I wake
to find men
like trees walking,

I wonder what
miracles of humanity
I might find.

Transfiguration is made
of mud pies
and I am blessed
to see what I had missed.

I never wanted
to fall in love,
with anyone,
at all.

Because falling
means
I will get hurt.

And if I get hurt
I probably
will not survive.

Dear Future Self,
Did you get everything you dreamed of?
More? Less?
Did you make it to the top, like you thought you would?
Or did you go the opposite way
Down in the dumps, salvaging off banana peels
struggling and scraping to get by
or never worrying about your next paycheck
I hope you got what you wanted
I hope you have everything you need
Are you loved?
If you are, by who?
Future self, don't be discouraged
You made it
-Your past self
but     can science explain why
people seem to feel
      especially insignificant         at night

can science tell us why
the moon    seems to smile sadly back at us
during our loneliest moments
and tell us ‘i know, i know’.


call a ceasefire.
extinguish     the burning city:

do not    fear    the night
it is filled with light we cannot see.
If I told you what I really wanted
Would you run away from me?
Because the lust is there, mixed with the love somewhere
In my heart I guarantee.
You don't know me like you should,
Granted if I opened up you would...
But the rain won't stop just because you're not crying
Leaves don't just fall, not unless they are dying
And just like the seasons coming and going
Your love changed up on me.
loudest cry for help
screamed for you to notice me
nothing, still in love
I often find myself wishing the best for everyone *except myself
I forget that the most important person in my life is me
