Dear Mr. Poet Man,
How do you do that?
You make the most of everything
Even when there is nothing.
It confounds me so to see,
Mr. Poet Man,
The things my heart says to me in utmost secrecy
Written in your words.
How, Mr. Poet Man, do you constantly see
Beauty in all things, Even Death?
I need to know Mr. Poet Man,
How does one die beautifully?
Would I be beautiful to you then?
It's a weird one, I know, but I liked the idea of writing to someone.
Love is an impenetrable fortress.
Much unlike my heart,
Which shakes and falls into shambles
With little to no effort.
I take my heart-string sword in hand
And slice at Love's strong walls.
Every chop an ineffective gamble,
Causing damage only to me.
Battle scarred and worn, I rest tonight.
Only to repeat The Quest tomorrow
I try to do everything correctly.
I smile, laugh, use correct grammar,
But nothing seems to work.
Is there a dent?
A crack in my facade?
I look happy, right?
Then what?
My personality?
My intelligence?
I look happy, right?
Do you love me?
Do I love me?
What's wrong with me?
I love you
More than you know.
I believe that
You and I
Have chemistry!
Maybe we could
Start a new
Relationship...
Oh, I see...
I'm glad for
Our friendship...

In the meadows where trees are seldom,
purple flowers congregate.
Their petals flutter as they mutter
hidden by the breeze.
In the meadow where trees are seldom,
purple flowers congregate
Their stems contort as they abort
dew from their leaves.
In the meadows are purple flowers.
Are those flowers free?

Breathe

The weight of the world is off your shoulders now, dear
Lift your beautiful head and hold it high
Demand the respect you know you deserve

Oh, but don't forget to breathe

Smile that smile that is as bright as the sun,
and make sure he sees you when you do
Turn every head in the room with your confidence

Just be sure to breathe

When you cry, do it proudly and without reservation
Show the whole world how strong you are
You are unbreakable. You are not a footnote

Now take a moment to breathe
So, this is actually about me breaking up with my boyfriend. I CAN FINALLY BREATHE

How do you live
when the world turns upside down?
And gravity is the only thing
that cares enough to hold you.
This.. this is odd
