I hate it when the darkness of the night
talks to me in silence
telling me how unimportant I am
and that my existence is unneeded.
It steals every hope that gives me fuel to live each day.
and so every time the sun shines a light upon me,
all I ever recognize is the sadness
that wraps me up to my solitude.

Away from the stars
Away from the sun
high above the universe
A Princess's spirit
flies to the heavens above

Below here on Earth
She will be dearly missed
We all saw her worth
I think that's all she wished

And through the Heaven's
far she'll fly
Just so you know
It's ok to cry

She's looking down at us
to chase away our fears
and she'll always be here
to help wipe away the tears

She'll always be that sunshine
that ray of light
that new daisy blooming
after a rainy night

and letting her go
is no small feat
it takes strength

The strength of knowing
we'll all be reunited someday.

Are we who we thought we'd make it out to see?
Is this the crossing grounds?
That I've heard so much sound about?

Will we choose and never choose again?
Or will we loose and forever loose the chance?

Life seems so bleak laid out before us
constructed and deconstructed through a system that is,
Our legacy.

But whose to say,
What will come of us?

Direction, Direction, Direction.
But whose to say,
We need one...

Fingers has touched my body
like a feather beneath my flesh.
and my skin started to hurt.
the inside of my bones started to hurt.
and I can’t soothe it
because it was very familiar,
and I knew,
it was your hand.

“Yes.” One word. Say it as often as you can. It’s going to hurt sometimes. But you’ll gain more experience than any textbook can show you.

2. Stand up. Talk to him. Ask him questions. Kiss him. Don’t cower in the corner.

3. Fall in love with everyone but don’t regret it.

4. Open your ears and shut your mouth sometimes.

5. Don’t drag him around like it’s a game. You’ll break him.

6. Take naps. They’re your friend.

7. Hold everyone close. Some you’ll let go by choice, others by force, and some not at all. Love as much as you can.

8. Sit in the grass and stare up at the stars like you’re in a Nicholas Sparks book and embrace the paranoia of bugs crawling on your legs and noises in the woods. It isn’t perfect; don’t fool yourself.

9. Materialism isn’t worth it. Only keep the things from those who have left this world. If they left you in the dust and still breathe, burn the gifts they gave you. It’s worth it in the long run.

10. Cry. It’s okay. You have nothing to prove.
