Tiptoe through forests
of lollipop trees
and play with cotton candy bunnies

Climb rock candy mountains
Jump in chocolate syrup puddles

I wear a little yellow raincoat
to keep me dry
from the cream soda raindrops

So many sweet things
live in this wonderland

Things like you

Why would anyone want to leave

Sorry to disappoint
But I'm starting to crack
I took on too much
Now I'm slipping
Tired eyes, tired heart, exhausted mind
I wish not to bother you
With my melodramatic problems
I do not want to be here now
I want to be free
With my poems to keep me company
At this point
I don't think I can promise anything
I'm sorry to disappoint
I'm sorry

the words that fell
from my lips
made my heart flutter
and i feel like i can finally breathe
and now i can't get
that stupid grin off my face
I drunkenly came out to my friend (whom also happens to be the girl I've had a crush on for over a year) a few nights ago at an after party for my school play.  The following day I told her that I had feelings for her and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest.

i still miss you – us
i thought i'd gotten over you
i was wrong
i was so wrong
i thought time apart
would make me forget
but i couldn't get you hazel eyes
out of my head
i still wish i had had the guts
to say "i love you–
more than just a friend"
but she doesn't know
i like girls too
so instead
i lie awake
thinking
of our almost kiss
at 2:58 a.m.
This is part of my story dealing with sexuality.

She fell
She survived
She stood again
To her
That was enough
Because at least
She didn't give up
