pen to paper
fingers to keys
writing for everyone else
but me
saying sorry or wanting answers
going without what i need
i wanna write to myself
but that is really cheesy
i write for approval
because validation is what i seek
like maybe if i put words in the right order
my issues would cease to be
but even as i write away my soul
my problems keep existing
i can't find out how to feel
so i write like it will fix me
I've lost so many people.
I can't help but feel like I'm losing you too.
Maybe I already have.

Trying to get
over someone
you never had?

Yeah,
that's the worst
kind of struggle.

B.K.
we are but the sand and the ocean.
you are the sand
warm, fine, comforting, golden
people always seem
to walk all over you,
but not me
for I am the ocean
deep, brave, pure, peaceful
and I try so hard to get to you
but every time I push myself
I always end up trickling back to where I belong
it's not fair
I want to belong to you

medicine doesn't always come in the form of a capsule, powder or bitter tasting liquid. medicine isn't always hard to swallow or a pain to refill at the pharmacy, nor is it made by a chemist wearing a white coat and goggles. sometimes medicine is a heartfelt laugh from the person you love. it's a gentle whisper that everything is okay, a squeeze of the hand bringing reassurance and calm. medicine is a smile with eyes turned up in a grin. it's an hour of time spent in the park with kisses and conversation. it doesn't come with annoying side-effects of pounding headaches and dizziness with fatigue. instead it reaps results: healing of mind, body and soul.
