One word
You said "ditto."
That word shattered my heart
Because it took courage to say
(I) love you

I'd rather write poems than do math
I'd rather exercise my soul than my body
I'd rather learn about Plato than the Industrial Revolution
is it too much to ask for an education system that
actually lets me pursue
my own dreams?

Days feel the same as night
I drown in the darkness
I suffocate in the light

The sun looks the same as the moon
I ignore the day's time
I won't wake until noon

Cold feels the same as heat
The flames obscure my sight
Ice uses my body to beat

Days feel the same as night
I run from the darkness
I hide from the light

you are like the sun
and i am like the moon.
your brightness always overpowers mine.

people are waiting
always waiting,
for your rays to come out
and enlighten them.
but when i, the moon,
am out
everyone goes home.
there is no rush to see me.

nobody wants the moon.
nobody wants *me

why is it always
3 in the morning ?

why isn't it ever
10 in the morning
after you got in a fight
with your boss
and you feel like
sandpaper
is smoother than your throat

                                                 why isn't it ever
                                             4 in the afternoon
                                       after you've had a long day
                                        and your heart feels heavy
                                             your head feels weak
                                      and all your friends are gone

why isn't it ever
9 at night
when you have the worst
breakup of your life
and you feel like you can't go on


              but no,
           it's always
    3 in the morning
   because that's when
     you truly realize
       how much you  
        hate your life.
