The stars can't compare,
To the gleam in your eyes.

My pulse is at 92 BPM.
But it doesn't matter,
I'm the only one who would care,
But I don't.
Not just about the pulse,
But about everything.
It's all a blur,
But not blurry enough to be dreamlike.
It's blurry enough to be sad,
But that's it.
It's blurry enough to see that I'm alone,
But clear enough that it's still sad.
Maybe I should get new glasses.

It's 1:01,
And things aren't that bad.
At 12 they were pretty bad,
But now they aren't.

At 12 things looked dim,
lots of fear, loneliness, and desperation.
But now it's 1:03 and everything's ok.

It's 1:04 and I'm not sad anymore.
I decided my few friends are good ones, too good to be lonely.

It's 1:06 and my headache has finally gone away.
I've got more energy than I had all day.

It's 1:07 and I'm happy that things worked out.

It's 1:08 and I just wanna say,
That you're gonna be ok.
Things will be ok.

This is love,
What I feel for this small puddle of warm cheese dip.

I love it.
With all the love I have to love,
But I eat it.
The thing I love is fleeting.

It's fleeting because I make it fleet.
I slowly eat away at it until it is gone.
And now that it's gone,
It hurts me.
Physically, my stomach rolls over because I am lactose intolerant.
Emotionally, my heart yearns for more because it was so perfect.

But it was worth loving, even through the pain.
Yea I just wrote a poem about cheese dip and it was a metaphor for a situation that involves love. I don't know why...

Sometimes 
Sometimes you just gotta let it go.
Be happy. 
Yea it's really hard.
But ya know what?
When you actually do it.
And learn to just ride the waves that try and hit you on your way down, you'll be better off.
Let em' hit you while you're down. You'll just be better off next time you're up. 
Everyone who hurts you forget em.
Everyone who loves you, love them.
Be kind, be happy, be free.
But don't be hurt by them.
Because THEY don't matter. And YOU do.
I wrote this from a bad place and now that I'm in a better one I felt it was still relevant.

It makes me sad.
When my friends ignore me.

It makes me sad.
When my dreams fade.

It makes me sad.
When my life falls apart.

It makes me sad.
When others are in pain.

It makes me sad.
When I hurt the few who care.

It makes me sad,
That I can't always feel loved and make others feel loved.

It makes me sad
That the world is as sad as it is.

But it makes me happy
When our eyes meet and the world is just us.

It makes me happy,
That the world is as happy as it is.

Summer rain drizzling ever so softly onto me.
It feels like heaven.
An escape from the Mississippi heat.

Standing there in serenity,
A rainbow appears as the sun peaks out over the little light rain clouds.

It's beautiful,
But you're standing in front of me now,
And it pales in comparison.

Your eyes contain more majesty than all of it's colors.
Your soft skin, covered in beads of water, is the most brilliant thing under the sun.

Standing there in silence, gazing at the beauty,
You grab my hand.
The girl who is the dream of my dreams grabs my hand.
That is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened in the rain.
