Light a candle
Stay at my side
Sing me a lullaby
Till sleep overtakes me
Make me a bed
Of earthen walls
My spirit is light
My body is heavy
i'm
scared
things seem like
they're going by
too
fast
everything is
a blur
what do i do
next
my mind isn't keeping
up with the rest of
the world
it's


lag   gin   g



still

sometimes

it
comes to

a

halt.
stops l  o  a  d  i  n  g
and
i'm [stuck]
in one place
while everyone around me
is moving fast paced
i take things

i like to
procrastinate
i am not quick to
strike
what if they move on





without me?

I've tried to change so many times...
Please just let me be happy for once in my life...

We Are One

We share each other's breath
Stardust one and all
Falling endlessly together
On this humid little ball
A web of beating hearts
Tethered to each other
I love you like myself
But I would end you for a dollar
Some days I'm on top of the world
and other days
I'm afraid of heights.

I am man
Destroyer of worlds
Ask the survivors
Of the ant hill out back

I am man
Practitioner of violence
See for reference
My arsenal of Nerf weapons

I am man
Taker of life
My double bacon cheeseburger
A ****** trophy

I am man
Celebrator of brutality
I gotta go
The game is on
