Your letters.
Are what guides me through the day
Giving me hope when mines is fading
Watching half broken stars still trying shine
Wishing I was alone in your arms
Counting the days until I see those beautiful
Blue eyes that me make fall all over again
Writing poems by candlight while making you
Live on each line that I write.

none here
Words run straight through me
all my thoughts
they just appear
systematically unruly
Traveler Tim
I’m an open book you see
You can judge me by my cover
I won’t blame you, that’s the truth
You can go through my pages,
Learn something new,
Get fascinated by my story,
I’m sure there’s an adventure you never knew.
Laugh at my joys and sometimes my clumsy ways,
Share in my sorrow and sympathize with my darkest days
But don’t stand at a distance in anger and claim that I’ve become a stranger,
Because the truth is, I’m an open book,
If you don’t see me it’s because you choose not to look.
I haven’t written on here in about a year or two and I felt this poem would be a fitting return, I hope anyone that reads it resonates with it.
What exactly is a neutral state of mind?
How would it be defined?
To be okay but not?
That's quite a tough spot.
It's as if you have nothing to feel,
Like you're not quite real.
What if I said I was neutral,
Would your reaction be quite brutal?
Should I lie and say I'm fine,
Or would that cross another line?
Should I let the panic overtake me,
I could get lost in a sea.
Anxiety and depression fight one another,
It's never just one or the other.
I guess I can walk around,
Wishing nothing more than to be found.
I am a plain cake donut
Boring
Unfrosted
Easy to disregard

Unless you look on the inside

There you will find
Bacon
that’s interestingly salty;
Black strap molasses
which adds depth
but isn’t too sweet;
And a single berry
for a blast of the unexpected

unnamed
Fragmented nightmares and dreams
Plague the darkness
Or perhaps they were memories

Memories of soft lips pressing against mine
A boy with startling blonde hair
And shocking gray eyes

Memories of fingers clinging desperately to me
Promising over and over to protect me
As I quiver; cheeks wet with fright

And when I wake
My whole body feels as if it’s on fire
And yet I can’t see the flames

Keep your enemies close,
but your friends closer.
Because when the enemy attacks,
it’s your friends whom you will need.
The usual saying, but a bit different...
