joined at the hip with the dead
you live with constant reminders
a sober remembrance of fragility
the time you will return to dust.
Patterns are common,
Some are better at seeing,
Them when they appear.
Life is often a game of connect the dots
Here,
Let me wet
your quill
That's what
I call
a fresh
start
Happiness
Is
In the little things

Home alone
Singing and rambling

A good book
Or a song I love
Watching my favorite movies and shows
Again and again

A pretty bug
A cute animal
A sweet kid

Being with my friends
Doesn’t matter where we are

Lying in bed
In Dreamstate
Enjoying the strange creations of my subconscious mind

A good daydream
That feels like it’s wrapping me in an embrace
Or at least one that’s exciting
One that ***** me in for hours
And I forget the meaning of reality

Writing poems
Or essays (ones that are actually interesting, anyway)
Or when I finally get motivation to work on my novel
And 15 minutes turns into 80

That very first time
I can sing a complicated song
Or when I hit a high note right
And I feel invincible

Walking in the woods
Or the park
And feeling like I’m a part of something beautiful

Happiness is wherever I can exist freely
As a reminder to myself to make it through
Every act
is a link
in tomorrow’s
chain

Connecting
our promise
again
— and again
