Never needed company
Until I found you
And you, me.
And another 10 words attempt. It's so strange how I've always fiercely tried to be independent, yet suddenly I want to have all my meals together, and run my errands together, and do everything together.

Today I am happy
That's all I have to say
Even though
there are dishes in the sink
and my milk's gone bad
A nod to the poet David Lehman who made himself write a poem every single day for a year to make poetry more accessible, part of the everyday, and demystify the notion that poetry has to be pretentious.  I encourage you all to try it!
You need to save yourself before you can save anyone else, alright,
but that doesn't mean that you have to save yourself alone;
heros are never alone.
Thank you Ms. Wiebe for being here for me.
I needed that.

And don't you dare think that you can manipulate my thoughts
Because I have spent a great portion of my life perfecting my mind
I know what is inside and despite my head being a dark mess I know it and control it and your manipulative attempts will have no use on me
I know how to breathe and how to not and I know how to keep my brain from killing itself on the days when I am falling apart
These are my thoughts and mine alone and it is endlessly laughable that you think they are your own
Not even close

the good nights
used to be tinged
with kisses
and a soft caress
against my back
sending shivers
down throughout my spine
but now you say good night
with silence and
unmoving touches
i'm not too sure
how i became so dull
and unlovable
and cast away
to the colder side
of this bed
it's 5am,
i'm wide awake
this ache kept me awake
as you slept
your arms were in the wrong place
they were supposed to be here, here
holding me and keeping
the slumber less thoughts away
