Best way to think outside a box
Is to be inside it

Not a special box
Just box wiht no gaps
no windows
no light
The perfect box


Cuz the one, who is truly blind
Is the only, one who’s canvas is not blinded, from outside light
I was unsuspecting of love.
You sang my name
and reeled me in.
You called me pretty—
my teen self felt seen.

I wanted to write about sadness,
but you turned it into sunshine.

Now I see you,
walking back slowly,
alone.

I stand at the threshold,
waiting to be chosen,
as you did thrice before.

My mind says you are right.
This happens all the time.
Happiness and love is the sky.
You, my dear, are the ground—
ground that is dark,
wet with
buried dreams
of what love could’ve been.

I'd rather that you hate me
Instead of you feeling nothing for me

To Whom It May Concern,

This soul has found
No rest
These eyes have seen
Horrors beyond belief
These hands are covered
In blood that is not theirs
These legs won't hold
For much longer
Please be there
I'm counting on you.

Sincerely,
Me

I wish I had
The words
The time
The tears
The heart
The will
The love

But I don't.

Feel like
I woke up
To a brand new car
Only to find out
I'm going to be
Chained to it
And dragged along
