it's really cool
when you come full circle
in one sitting,
like,
sad to depressed to suicidal to scared to lonely to bored
to hopeful to silly to laughing to crying to laughing again
and have someone see
every single part of you,
and have them
stay
and it's like
****, i've finally found a soul
i can tell anything to
and they won't be scared away.


and it's like
oh,
THIS is what love is.
finally finally finally!


and it's like,
yes. miracles do happen.

y'know?
I feel I am a faithless lover
for I have strayed
not to another
but further than either imagined I would
from you
Of paths and roads
Nothing's good with toads,
Through mists and fog
I've walked far with my dog,
Choices at the forks in my way
Have made my mind play,
Which way should I go?
Does anyone ever know?
Through the gravel path
Through the paved street hath,
But I a single choice
I'm ready; see my poise?
Swift against the current
I'd say it if I weren't;
On the correct path I'd taken
But I'm always right not forsaken,
And it's been that it never meant much
Without your company; your touch,
To guide me along the way
The right direction that in my trail lay,
Simply mad I'd be
If I were to say; let me be...

When my dad goes out of town, my mom sometimes lets me sleep in the king bed.
I feel like I am sleeping in a cloud
Soft folds of white blankets envelop me
Feather pillows
The problem is-
I can’t sleep in it if I have work early the next day
Because leaving that paradise
Is impossible.

I think right now
My life is too comfortable.
I think it is late in the morning
And the sun is shining through the window
The day is creeping away
And I am asleep
Because who wouldn’t be?
And the sun passes by
And who knows what time it is?
And how much of the day I have already missed?

I’m too comfortable.

Time to get out of bed.
Time to take a quick shower
And head out the door.
And get to work.
Because you can’t make the world a better place
If all life means is being content

I really don’t want to sleep my life away.

Blowing out candles
and wishing on a star
doesn't always help,
my wish is still so far

Sometimes there's no happy ending
Dreams don't always come true
Sometimes the prince kisses another girl
Instead of kissing you

Left alone in a deep sleep
Still poisoned by the queen
It's suddenly up to you
To find your own vaccine

Without the kiss of true love
You feel as if your through
And when you finally wake
You don't know what to do

You're afraid to stand on your own  
You feel helpless and unable
This is what will happen
When you think life will be a fable

Life isn't a fairytale
Sometimes dreams just die
Every day is difficult
Its a struggle to get by

Its time for me to stop wishing
'cause those things don't come true
It's time I focus on reality
And bid old dreams adieu

— The End —
