his mind was filled with thunderclouds,
that were holding in sadness and pain,
so he screamed out loud,
and let his words pour out like rain.

my friend holds in his emotions a lot, so i decided to write this in his pov.

My own world
Belongs to 2 different
Places
Where I once was
Where I'm now

Dawn

The sun is rising
Heat is arriving
Birds start chirpping
  Good day  As
   A  bit of light appears
From the sky above
     Hevan
       I call to you

A River is Aware

A river is aware
of its course...
wise to the ways
of water.

Dust

We all will be dust,
and when we are,
how much will any of this truly matter
The only thing that's real
is how you feel,
so do all you can to be happy

The Changeling

take all as they are
and do not imagine you can change a **** thing
except with much toil and unending vigilance
'to change a small part of yourself'

Schism

anger never solves
it only serves to deepen
misunderstanding
