If all is lost to fire tomorrow,
I shall remember life as this:
that my saving grace in life's decisions,
were those moments spent smoking
and watching the weeds break through
the whitewashed wall.

You
are no lesser than the stars and their astounding beauty
You
breath in the same oxygen as the summer birds
You
live for a purpose
You
are not a waste of space
You
are much more than space
You
are more beautiful than a vast growth of wild flowers
You
are a child of the universe you have a right to live

We just needed our

and {you} found yours
without me
everything we {were}
is now nothing at all
as soon you saw a way from
me and {my} madness
you left
and found your {happy place}
but I've just lost mine.

i don't really know what's it like
to fall in love
i thought i was in love
until i saw you with her
and it didn't really hurt that much
i didn't really feel anything at all
and i haven't since then
i've just been just kind of numb
and i'm starting to see
i know exactly what it's like to fall in love
it's falling out i haven't quite gotten yet.

you and I,
ran quick as we lived in the moment and not the past,
our laughter echoed as our hearts pounded fast,
and so we indulged, we lived in the present
no time to care, but I didn't regret it
nothing but us and that moonlit sky
careless, we were just
you and I

No matter the words i speak of
No matter what i would want

nothing getting accomplished
and nothing's going to be good

its a messed up world
with another messed up person

who can't think right
and cannot differentiate
the wrong from right

No matter the talks i talk about
No matter which scenes i play
cant dream.. so its invalid really

No matter the hymns
or the chimes of birds

No matter the flute melodies
or violin cries

No matter the world

------------------------------------------------------

bu­t worlds the matter
and i am unable to do anything

not able to talk
not able to do nufin!

God.
Nothing works
ughhh

Bad luck
bad luck
bad luck

that's what follows me around

death, suicide
sleep forever

****** my soul already
Have to go to another debate tournament with a senior and he is going to count on me being good and advantageous, because he wants to go to nationals... I, am probably going to be his downfall.

Just have to have hope that i don't break
his dream and another person's
who also counts on me.

just. don't want to be a another cause to a sad ending!

crown jellyfish,
i want you for my own,
to constantly float and hover
on my ceiling.

it seems to be too much to ask
the transparent glory
the delicate tendrils
the secretive nature

why do you want to hide
in the seas?
predator and prey
instead of being
a distraction for me?

i want you to go against
your nature
remake your breath
forego your nourishment
and glow for me, instead

why is the world
so unyielding,
crown jellyfish?
so inflexible and unkind
sticking to its earthly rules?

for me you would be
a thing of beauty
not just a creature
trying to survive

but this cannot be so
instead i must mimic you
use you as inspiration
and create new
t h i n g s

it's a shame, really.
Will it
Till it
Fill it

For tomorrow
If time kills you

There’ll always be someone
That’ll find in
What you left

The YOU!
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. -Martin Luther
