& he said

THIS IS ALL GETTING TOO MUCH !

TOO STALE !  TOO BORING !

TOO EVIL !  TOO STIFLING !

WE GOT TO BREAK OUT !

GO A NEW WAY !

WE GOT TO CHANGE !

WHAT CAN WE DO TO RENEW OURSELVES !!

She pondered long and hard

WELL

she finally said

I BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT TOO

WHAT I THINK IS

MAYBE WE SHOULD START HAVING **** ***

His eyes flew open in admiration and wonder !

A Slow Exhale Alone

"Wait a second",
But each second after that second
Draws into tomorrows
That spill into yesterday

And now,
It's an hour that feels like a year
In a second past a second
Without you

3315
Wanted to name it Hurry the **** Up, but, um, no.

Forgotten Heart

missing

Missing you
was difficult
but now
I don't see
any difficulty
because
I'm used to it
and I think
this missing
will
vanish soon
if I miss you
further

And
I will forget you
soon

Forgotten Heart

true to my heart

It's true that
I'm forgetting
But
it's only you
that I'm
forgetting
not
your memories

I miss you

Untitled

My fingers feel thick while they are tapping
I feel trapped my mind seems blank as I stare at the screen
I feel immobilized and panicked and want to scream
My heart is racing
I feel like pacing
I feel like a shell of my normal self
I do my best to calm myself
The clock is ticking
I feel the urge to race against the clock
I should take a few deep breaths and slow down my body and mind
Instead I follow the fight and flight response and rush myself
I need to get a grip and find a way to overcome the
Test Anxiety

It is final's week for me, I would do so much better if I did not struggle with test anxiety. Anybody have any suggestions?

A Thing I'm Good At

I am
really good at
tearing away
people who love me.

Genuflection

On your knees
You will worship
For a minute, an hour, a day
Elixir of the Gods
Closer to Heaven
Yet farther away
Facsimile, resemblance
Black and white dreams
Closed eyes and prayer
Torn between the emotions
Of the emotionless
Empty acts
Repeated motions
Experience or fantasy
Wishes or desires
Fear, excitement, and nerves
On your knees
You will worship
And it will resemble truth
For a minute, an hour, a day
The taste of honesty in lies
Will linger in the memory
Of the approximation of Heaven
