I once had a thousand desires
but in my desire to know you
all else melted away.

Not all wounds.
Turn into scars.

It’s not super loud, but it’s always there,
In how I dress, in how I care.
In trying not to mess things up,
But still feeling like I’m not enough.

It’s everywhere, at school, at home,
In groups where I still feel alone.
Trying to do what’s “right” each day,
But honestly? I just feel in the way.

I act like I’m fine, like I’ve got control,
But inside, it’s just taking a toll.
And maybe no one really sees,
How heavy all this pressure feels to me.

Stupid,
stupid,
stupid
love,
the
reason
our
world
is
tilted
but
also
the
reason
the
world
is
still
right.
We go crazy for love, but that’s why it’s so beautiful. It’s taken me awhile but I truly understand now, love is truly everywhere, even in the way we simply care.

Huh,
Suddenly I think someone does care,
Huh,
They’re looking not just to stare,
Huh,
They actually notice me there,
Huh,
Are they actually admiring me?

Huh,
wow.
I never noticed the many
little beauties all around,
waiting patiently to be found.
Huh, I never noticed that flower in the drain,
resilient despite the rain.

Huh, life isn’t so bad is it?
Life is good guys ~
even after a heavy thunderstorm the many flowers still survive,
And even the damaged ones can keep growing, the sun still shines, and life goes on. Emotions DONT last forever, even at your lowest, you need to believe things will get better, but that’s only if you choose for it to.

To be a piece of paper
Thrown at sea,
Crumpled—furiously
Unable to be.

To row against
Undaunted waves,
Tall as mountains,
Jagged as nails.

Oh, to wish
To greet the sand,
Just to meet
Some reader's hands.
