It's hard to catch sunshine
In a jar filled with words
Sifted and strung into coherence
Since it enjoys slipping through my fingertips
So I'll just sit and watch
As you dance across the sky
Falling, laughing sunshine.

I locked it away
Subconsciously.
I didn't want to face it
Nor feel it.

I guess because I knew,
It was too much pain to bear.

You unlocked it
with a double tap.

I peeked into the deepest part
Secretly
I couldn't accept what I found
Nor ignore it.

I tried to lock it back like how I used to
But it was too late.

Those feelings took over me
The pain demanded to be felt.  

Now they take over
My brain
My limbs
My heart.

I'm thinking it was wrong to lock it in
in the first place.

Now I'm caught off guard.
I shiver
I worry
I fear.

Fear not because I'm afraid
I can't find the one.
Fear because he is the one.

Fear,
Because the one doesn't want to be
The One.

It
It's a touch of childhood stubbornness
Monosyllables falling from lips
It's pastel-painted colors on blank canvas
With a tinge of vibrant red
It's a soft chocolate lava cake
Melting, heated, bittersweet and all too gorgeous

Summer, stifling and sweet and sticky
With the cool of Autumn clinging to its hips
And Spring's freshness wrapping around its head
Winter a million miles away but still pressing in its mind

Chasing a shadow
Creeping among flooded words
Teleporting, gone.

Ash
I have been held captive
By this stupid trait
And I'm on the road
To my ugly fate

Jealous: I always was;
Jealous: I definitely still am
Oh, how I wish I were not,
Yet still I am ******

Free from these shackles;
How I wish I were
But what my future holds:
Appears unfortunately as a blur

So I'll be waiting
Right here in agony
Waiting to be saved
From my utter **jealousy
As human as I am, I tend to get jealous oftentimes. It's a struggle.

I wish I didn't have such problem, but I do anyway, which I'm still in the process of correcting.

How can you be honest with everybody
When you can't even be honest with yourself?

How can you be confident
When you can't even believe in yourself?

How can you not cause others pain
When you can't even stop harming yourself?
I have some issues.
