you will never be forgotten.
ever.
your name twisted into metaphors and colors and distractions will forever
be painted across pages and pages of her favorite brand of notebook,
no matter how many she burns
there will always be one she forgot,
and she will only find it once she had almost forgotten you.
she will find the one Papyrus notebook
and all of your metaphors and colors and disractions will come flooding back,
just like how the ocean in your eyes
flooded her heart all those years ago.

My backup plan is to be broke

My backup plan is to stay put, pursuing my passion
Even if it means a lifetime pouring coffee
Or serving drinks, or waiting tables
Just to keep my head above water

My backup plan is to look at the lights
And know I am home
As I receive yet another rejection

My backup plan
Is to drown out everyone around me
Telling me that I'm insane

Because I already know I am

I know I could very easily
Be at the top of
Of any logical path I choose
But what a waste of life that would be

So yes I'm insane
I am signing up for a life
With no stability, no safety net
And thousands ready to fall next to me

But my backup plan
Is to not waste this creative energy
Doing some boring day job
That would ultimately make me crazier
Than I already am

So my plan A
Is to live without a single regret
Because I tried
And did what I love
So no matter what happens
My plan was a success

Am I just a wheel?
Consuming meals?
A speck in blue sea?
Bound by what I see?
Life amongst trees?
Breathing means free?

Am I my beliefs?
The truth I seek?
Flag of a country?
Defined by currency?
A liability?
Part of society?

Am I what you see?
The way you judge me?
The values you pick?
First impressions stick?
Norm defined by you?
Do I dare to be rude?

No...

I am who I choose.
I fill my own shoes.
I win when I lose.
I create my own views.
I see black beyond blue.
I pick me over you.

Who are we?
I am me.
Who are we?
Depends on you.

Secrets create,
Enemies and friends.
Can start new trends.
Reveal new tech.
Endanger peace.
Turn blue to red.
Secret whispers.

Secrets welcome.
Extra income.
Conditional love.
Regretful outcomes.
Emotional sin.
The hidden grin.
Secret whispers.

Secret sounds.
Entrapped inside.
Craves to be found.
Results in lies.
Eats till it dies,
Till realized.
Secret whispers, do not hide.
