In a silent night,
I can hear the fast beating of my heart
I thought it's going to explode
My hands are shaking,
my body's trembling
Am I going to die?
I like you and that's not a lie
They say 'the truth will set you free'
But telling the truth crushed my soul
Hades pulled me from underground
I toss and turn in bed,
My thoughts went wrong
I listen to some sad songs
Feels like my world is falling apart
I just want to drift away
so when I open my eyes,
I'll be okay.*

-Adele

don't feel sorry for me.
I am a competent,
satisfied human being.

be sorry for the others
who
fidget
complain

who
constantly
rearrange their
lives
like
furniture.

juggling mates
and
attitudes

their
confusion is
constant

and it will
touch
whoever they
deal with.

beware of them:
one of their
key words is
"love."

and beware those who
only take
instructions from their
God

for they have
failed completely to live their own
lives.

don't feel sorry for me
because I am alone

for even
at the most terrible
moments
humor
is my
companion.

I am a dog walking
backwards

I am a broken
banjo

I am a telephone wire
strung up in
Toledo, Ohio

I am a man
eating a meal
this night
in the month of
September.

put your sympathy
aside.
they say
water held up
Christ:
to come
through
you better be
nearly as
lucky.

Does Lady Fate guide my hand?
My eyes?
My mind?
My Soul?

And when I try to stray from her,
she brings
me back
on goal?

Does Destiny watch my life?
and guide
me through
bad times?

Does she know it will work out?
As she
and Fate
will guide

Writers are brave
for every time they write,
they rip their chests open,
and let the world know
what is inside their hearts.

it felt real
but then i knew it wasn't
because the inevitable happened
i woke up

From hugs so comforting and warm
To hugs cold and numbing

From scents so pleasant and sweet
To scents reeking and deadly

From voices soothing and majestic
To voices loud and deafening

From faces that reminded me to smile
To faces that taught me how to cry

For a moment i can’t help but hold you
Now all i want to do is let go
