A squirrel crosses the road
at the wrong         time?
We pass the squished creature
a moment of silence for
a             mistake?

But what if the squirrel jumped
into the traffic
What if the squirrel was done
ready for it to end

He was a silent squirrel
no one knew much about him
he kept to himself
But the day cam of the tragic...
        accident?

They all said goodbye to his corpse
left him gifts
for a dead squirrel may be
less lonely than
an alive squirrel.

If i close my eyes
with you laying on my chest
tiny yet so big
I may drift to sleep

Your smile lights up the room
you show me your toy
a simple spatula is enough
for you

You make me wonder
how wonderful the world
could be if
it became a bit more colorful

if we opened our eyes
to the sights we get to behold
the beautiful blue skies  
And the creations we have made

A child
not yet corrupted
you ground me to a world
the feels like its spinning oh too fast

thank you for that

That pain in your chest
That’s always there
Never completely gone even
Holding your heart

One wrong step
And the fingers holding your heart will let go
And it will fall
And you will crash

Walking on eggshells
But you still have to keep up
With the
Seemingly endless
Expectations

One wrong move
And everything shatters into a million pieces falling into the endless void of the soul and body that is mine.
You start to numb everything
To save yourself
Soon enough
the world has become a black and white screen

You watch time go by  
But you can’t go back
No matter how much the young child in your heart
Bangs at the walls of the body he is stuck in
The blackness starts to engulf everything
Surrounding you
Isolating you
And you lose more than yourself

I'm holding a weight on my shoulders
that no one can see
until it gets too heavy
