I'm a puzzle
But half of my pieces
were thrown away
So I keep adding pieces
From different puzzles
I guess I'd rather be whole
Than be right

The things I don't tell you
When you ask what I've learned
My friends care
But sometimes they don't know how to care for me
I can be with my friends and still be lonely
People can love me
Even when I don't
I can love how people feel towards me
That doesn't mean I have feelings back
If I love someone
Don't
Relationships are a mess
I'm a mess
But I'm not always the problem
I'm not the answer either
Its good to help when I can
But sometimes I can't
Its okay to leave problems unsolved
I don't need to know everything
I'm still learning

She sat
Cross legged
Tea in her hands
And just begged
That today would be a good day

I  look at the journal all weathered and worn
I look at the journal some pages intact
While others are torn
I read in the journal some stories happy
While many are forlorn
I read in the journal a trip to the past
Many memories that are sure to last
This blast to the past
Might offer insight to the future as well
For now I wait patiently
because only time will tell
Many journal entries have been the start of poems for me, maybe for you as well.

Random words fly off my pen
Random thoughts run through my head
I pick a random song and sing along
I dance a random dance( I'm lucky no one sees me)
I say Hi to a random stranger(that person looked at me like I lost my mind)
My favorite random thing to find are random acts of kindness
Maybe a random thing will come your way
or you might just have a random sort of day.
This Random poem comes to you via an insomniac.

I go throughout my day
longing for some sleep
I look forward to seeing you again
After the moon rises
I eagerly get ready to sleep
Because
I will see you in my dreams

The dream time seems at a slower pace
As I go into my happy place
I once again see your smiling face
For a moment everything seems like it used to be
Because
I see you in my dreams

The sun rises again
I can hardly wait to see you
my family and friends
My love for you never ends
Can see the love in my sleep filled eyes
Is it wider than the sky
as I meet you once again
Because
I meet you in my dreams

I long for even just one hour more
to spend with you I implore
wait for me after a busy day
I pray after I look at the moon
That I will see you soon
as I once more close my eyes
No more tears sting my eyes
because now is the time that
I will see you in my dreams
This is dedicated to all my friends and family, present and past.
I sometimes dream about the loved ones that I have lost, and also the ones near to me presently.

I should wear a sign that says fragile
but instead I wear fake strength
and pretend that I don't break
