trigger warning: bullying, alcoholism**

i went adventuring today looking for a creek but i could not find it and it reminded me of looking for salvation in green eyes and looking for hope in blonde haired beauties and being disappointed when everyone turned out to be only human
i went adventuring today and i took my dog with me and he seemed content but the eleven year old boy walking with me seemed afraid, seemed anxious, afraid to be with the leaves and the trees and i feel bad for this kid
he gets bullied at school cause he smells like kerosene because his no good dad won’t clean up the house and hides his alcoholism under the guise of ‘back pain’
the kid has started hanging out with a man that his mom used to date, his birth father, and when he talks about things they do together, he says birth father, but the way it is said you can tell he means real father
the boy has always gone by his birth father’s last name, even when he didn’t know him
i hope this boy doesn’t look for salvation in blue eyes and brown haired beauties. i hope he finds salvation within himself

It is said that
One third of all of the trees on earth
Are located near the arctic
And that when the snow melts
It refreshes the earth's atmosphere

When I see you
The snow around my heart melts
And I am refreshed
Ahh

a feeling unknown that I can't chase without fear
because you are near
creating thoughts I've never had
don't do this to me
every time I think of you, I want to touch your skin
for every poem I've written about him, I've written three about you
getting them out is the hardest part
hello, I love you, and I know your full name
I wear what you gave me to remind me of you
just because you don't think I would doesn't mean I wouldn't
kindly take me
love me
mind my heart
never let me hurt you
or give you the impression I don't want you
perhaps it never will be
quit I won't unless you
relish that you don't feel the same
someday I hope to hold you
taste you on my tongue
until then I will write poetry about you
varying in length and meaning
will you know what I'm thinking?
x rated thoughts I never thought I'd have happen in my dreams
you mean so much to me the way
zero other people do
idk

the words slide off of my tongue and I think I am going to be sick
how could it happen like this?
in the back of a storeroom covered by nightfall
I spill all of my secrets
about how I am barely sewn together
and I'm holding on to nothing
and I cry
and you care
you give me advice about being myself and how everyone will love me
and even though it has nothing to do with the situation
it helps
to know
you tried

I drink too much caffeinated green tea at midnight
I take offense to things that, honestly, I probably shouldn't
I like to be right
And being wrong makes me indescribably upset
I am at fault
I am made of faults
I am made of broken glass and melting ice and those strange reflective substances found at the gas station at two in the morning
I am me
I am a hot mess
I am wonderful
I am alive
still doing that "inspired by a song lyric" prompt aye

hide in the shadows, hide in the shadows
do not be seen, do not be heard
do not let them know that it is you there
they do not know that you have left your unconscious secrecy
they do not know yet that you are willing to talk
hold onto the secrets that you keep a little longer
stay out of the light
it's still writer's Wednesday idk
poem based on a song lyric

there is a light at the end of the tunnel
it is me
I am flourescent
I am the best version of myself
I  can be good
I can be bright
Just wait and see
