I can’t be depressed...
I just can’t.
If I am lost then I can’t help the people I care about the most find their own way.

I fell in love
And caught myself
When you didn't
Just stood right back up
And brushed it off
Like a trip
A slip of the foot
I walk now
With a limp
But at least I didn't become a *******

i dont want to know the basics. im tired of asking how are you when i already know the answer. what if i told you... i want to know everything about you? i tell you with all sincerity.

i want to know why you think certain things and how you came to that conclusion. i want to know your favorite foods, maybe you like coffee or tea? i want to know what scares you and what keeps you going. maybe you dont like birds, cats, or dogs? i want to know why you chose your field, do you like your career or do you long for change? do you sleep with the fan on or off in summer? do you wear pajamas to sleep or in your underwear?

i dont want to know the basics. although i know it is important, but i want to go further. Beyond your favorite color, beyond your favorite station, beyond the song you listen to the most. tell me your story. what makes you cry at 3 in the morning? what makes you laugh so hard you can't breathe? what do you do when you feel alone? have you felt loneliness? tell me about your first heartbreak or the first time you had ***. was it planned or did it just happen? tell me when you first fell in love. did it make you want to start a family? how many children? tell me their names. tell me about your dream wedding, and who will be the groomsmen. or if you have ever gotten drunk? how did it make you feel? what if we get drunk together?

i dont want to know the basics. i want your background, i want your story, your emotions, your tears, laughter, caresses, giggles.

i dont want to know the basics, i want to know everything. i want to know you.

what does it mean
when everything reminds me of you?
or I at least want to share it all with you?
what does it mean,
when my body aches to be near you?
when we're together I just want to feel you?
what does it mean
that my heart hurts when I think of you?
that I am constantly thinking of you?

I'm Okay

She was born. I'm okay, said she.

She smiles. I'm okay, says she.

She laughs. I'm okay, says she.

She cries. I'm okay, says she.

She yawns. I'm okay, says she.

She hurts. I'm okay, says she.

She lives. I'm okay, says she.

She drinks. I'm okay, says she.

She fights. I'm okay, says she.

She starves. I'm okay says she.

     Inside

          "I'M NOT OKAY!"

                 screams she.

But

     Outside

         "I'm okay" will say

                                         she

  





                               as



                      she

        

          dies
