the ringing alarm clock
stretching the sore muscles away
picking 3 things I am grateful for
is how I begin my day

waiting on the coffee that
busily bubbles away
as it transforms the kitchen into a cafe

the sun has risen to a point in the sky
that makes the morning glow
orange beams of sunlight all around

the air is fresh
it hasn't woken up either

so when I slip into my jeans and sweatshirt
the temperature is just right
and I am ready for the day
I am no morning person, but this was written on a day before rushing out the door to work that seemed eternal, and beautiful.

Isn't it amusing?
Your exhaustion is
craving your energy,
dragging away your breath.
Isn't it lovely?
Sleep is actually
the son of life,
but also,
a cousin of death.

Hard to tell if I'm family or not.

I write for many reasons
I write to express things I’ve
Kept bottled up for too long
I write for the people out there
Who share a small smile at the
Fact they know  exactly  what
Is going on with me
I write for the people who read what
I write because they support me as
Much as they can and especially in this
I write for the people who these anonymous
Poems go to in hopes they see it’s about them
And how I’m feeling
But I think I write most of all to not
Be forgotten. That at some point when
I leave this place I won’t just be a dead
Branch on an old family tree that’s never
Talked about. I write so that maybe some
Future person will read it and think how
Much this important and contribute to
Whatever they call this age in future books
I write to never be forgotten and who can
Blame me? Doesn’t everyone want to be
*Immortal?
I am tired of
Responsabilities
I am tired of
Being ignored
I am tired of
Being good just for favors
I am tired of
Being the good son
I am tired of
Kept myself quite
I am tired of
My friends
I am tired of
Poverty
I am tired of
The same all days routine

I wish to have a normal life
Just like any teenager
Go to parties
Get drunk
Have some fun
Do not care about responsibilities
But sadly
It is not possible

I am tired of
My life

Day two
Without you.
A million miles apart
But under the same stars.
I am sleeping alone in this river I've cried.
The nights are so long when you're empty inside.
Are you thinking of me?

I close my eyes real tight
Try to pretend that you’re here
With you, everything is better
My future, it is clear

I wrap myself in blankets
Hold them close and hard
Maybe it won’t hurt as much
If I imagine I'm in your arms

Face down on my pillow
Pretending it’s your chest
With that heartbeat in my ears
Everything hurts less

Doing everything I can    
To get some rest tonight
Every hour spent asleep
Is one less poem that I'll write

rock me gently into sleep
cradle my heart in your hands while I dream
keep me safe as I lay unaware
be my protector,
it shows you care
I've become so tired that I need rest
take me into your arms,
rock me gently,
you're the best.
I'm tired and I just want to be held.... sigh
