Leaves

They say we are but leaves.

Unwittingly we waiver
with the slightest caress from the sun.
With excitement we shudder,
when given a sliver of attention
from the moon.
And we rustle
with childlike glee,
when the daytime breeze
whispers its secrets playfully.

We dance, gambol and frolic...
As we celebrate our flightiness of spirits
in exuberant jubilee.

Because today...

We are welcomed here.
We are children of the world.
Seedlings of the universe.

And we revolve around a nucleus,
an anchor,
a steadfast tree..

That is you...
I ask my self:
Was I the only one
to ever love you?
Between us two?
No, no, you loved
Yourself too, all the while
leaving me unloved
Both by you and
As it happens, by me too -
All this would not have
Changed had you not left
And now I slowly
After  breaking saw too
That I can love my self so.
Even after you after all.

I see the world so differently
Than anyone else
I see the things I was told
The earth so bold
Bright
Beautiful
I see it all so differently
All the interconnected things
The colors and shapes
The reflection on the lakes
This vision I hold
Only I can see
Let me paint a picture with my words
Ill start with a background
A deep black and blue
Water is dark at its core
Next comes the red
A violent sunrise
The world hums
As something new is realized
Then theres the scarlet
Scattered on the canvas
Drops of life
Uneven with nature
After its green
Green touching everything
Growing and changing
Shifting shades with seasonss
There it is
A painting only I can see
Only I can know only I could be
The artist
That would be me
Vivid imaginations brings vivid frustrations

I feel everything and nothing at once and I can’t tell if that’s good or bad. There’s no facade put in place, my heart is on my sleeve and there’s only one thing to say. In eighteen years of living, death has taught me one thing. Time is precious and fickle. She is a force of uncertainty that which everyone uses for clarity, but dear there is no clarity in the unknown.
At a feeble age of eleven I lost a friend who we thought we’d all grow with. At age sixteen I almost lost my own life. And finally, at age eighteen my family was told my mother may have five years left.
Time is a cruel placebo effect. She waits for no one and whilst one may think the time isn’t now but maybe in the future, you have to realize there may not be a future.
What happens before now doesn’t exist. It does not exist in our reality. It will never exist until it happens but then the present becomes the past. Why wait for something you want?
Why say goodbye to something you don’t want to lose?

i cant begin to express the thoughts that dwindle though my brain each day
they are too complex for the any human to digest
honestly, even i can't digest them.

the sun sets around 6:45pm here
we get a few extra minutes of sunlight from living on the coast
the west coast
best coast

best

coast

i
don't
know

im confused and torn
ripped to shreds
by my own frustration
by my own confusion
by disappointments over and over

trying to live my life without expectations is a complete and utter lie

i have to learn how to live

before i decide to die

this is the moment i write about you
when i've already drank enough
and i find it really hard to write the right words

through these wrongful steps
i come to say that i'm alright
and practically over you

not completely alright
i still have many exhausts
which are gonna hurt me eventually
- not in a sentimental way, at least

but yeah
i'm managing my way
through being a single guy at his 20s
even though nobody's ever taught him
anything about it

i was thinking about this today
the last girl i tried to get along with
was one year younger than me
and she was 17

now i'm 21
and i'm completely hopeless in what concerns
getting to talk to girls

but i don't feel bad
- even though i've dreamt about you last night

and i'm alright
and i truly hope you are as well
and i hope you'll read this eventually
and feel better

i'm gonna get over with alcohol
- i don't put my word on the line,
  but i swear i'll try

fare thee well
i hope you send me boots of spanish leather
(and i hope you get the reference, hahahah)

Feel the burning pain
of anger and pain
that frost the rough heart
with smooth flake

Tug the spiraled exultant
lifting up a man
everything's heaven
enemy is a friend

Don't take sorrow
under your wing
spare it for tomorrow'sake
or everything's ruined
The abrupt shifting of moods
