Dreaming of you,
Dreaming of our adventures that remain undiscovered. . .
Our memories that await,
beneath the sun and sea
with my one and only.

I want you to feel like a mountain, like you’ve been molded for millions of years,
Faulting and bending and building to become as you appear:
Strong and towering and brave, always rising toward the sun,
Certain of your movements, determined to become someone.

I want you to feel like a river, overflowing with life and with love,
Rushing and curving and spilling to cover us all with your flood -
Nomadic and adventurous and free-spirited, never ceasing to explore the world,
The river of life and of love flows from the heart of a girl.

I want you to feel like a forest, growing up from your roots and your seeds,
Spreading and falling and flourishing, a life-force that helps us to breathe,
Layered and vibrant and plentiful, rising up when you’re given a chance,
Your branches extend out toward others, and you stand firm in your wind-woven dance.

I want you to feel like a wonder, I want you to feel like a sight,
Embedded in all that I see and experience, joining me on this journey through life,
You’re worthy and natural and life-giving, astonishing all who meet you,
You’re as beautiful as the world out there, and I’m stopping to enjoy the view.

I’ve had maybe 7 hours of sleep in the past two days...

Not even deep sleep, just barely at rest.

I’m going crazy, I’m just unable, I’m unable to sleep. I’m unable to feel...

Imagine you start to feel happy, and then you just stop...
even though you should still feel happy, you can remember the feeling but it’s not there.
You feel empty, in a way hollow. Maybe even it’s bad right now and you shut day for days, you go though the motions of emotions, a smile, a laugh, but still nothing.

You start to feel like you aren’t even in your body anymore, you’re watching your life go by in a glass box.... I want to live. Actually live.

Blank are my thoughts as I begin to write
My mind lost, in wonderings of white,
Pen to parchment, text to screen,
Drowning my words with the urge to scream.

A flurry of letters, all come out broken,
Confusing my mind, igniting emotion,
As ink simply bleeds, through veins of my page,
Blank is my mind..... Words are my rage.
@E.worthington
My crazy mind when it wants to write, but no words take flight, so the letters become my rage...

Late nights,
glimpses of your smile with every passing street light.

Rough roads with every turn, but always a good time with you.

jokes so bad I can't help but snort
a voice so smooth I can't help but fall

How dare i feel,
How dare i stop mothering your children
How dear i take care of myself before you.. Before your kids..
When will anyone take care of me?
You smother me with your issues
Smother me…  because you sure as hell don't mother means
But do i even deserve anything else?
Me the failure.

I lay sleepless
Thinking about my lie
“I said no”.... I said nothing… I let it happen.

Society has taught me that saying nothing and saying no are two different things.

I lay sleepless
Maybe this changes everything
Maybe it changes nothing.
Why’d I lie?

I said nothing,
Not yes
Not no

I laid on him and cried after,
Lifeless
He thought I was sad to leave him

But in reality, I was mourning the loss of apart of my soul.
a part of me, I will never get back.
