how can you
speak up
(have a say)
when you didn't even
have a voice
to begin with?
the moment i heard
her tiny voice
the moment i saw
her wonderfully messy nest of hair
the moment i knew
she was here to stay this time
all of it began to snowball inside me
until a storm broke out
and i fell in love with her
                                                      all
                                       over
                  *again
My new year's resolution is 1080p.
Yes, I want a larger screen.

But it would be better if
my second resolution
manages to get fulfilled.
It's what I always wish for
when blowing out the candles.
It's what I always hope for
at 11:11,
whether a.m. or p.m.

It's simple, really -
All I want
is to be happy.
The day brings me smiles
The night brings me tears
Isn't it obvious which I prefer?

The sun gives me strength
Its warmth gives me hope
Yet the skies cloud my vision
With lies that I'm told

The night blinds my heart
The monsters come to a start
Yet the moon brings clarity
Along with stars that form a path

The day brings me smiles
The night brings me tears
Is it more obvious now
On which I prefer?
Swimming is fun.
But if you're like me,
and you can't swim that well,
sometimes you go under from time and time again.
But you always come back up, eventually.
Life is kind of like that.
One day you're just walking through the water,
and it's a bit too high,
and then your foot slips.
You go under.
You panic.
and you come back up,
eventually ,
coughing and gasping for air.
Sometimes,  if you were under long enough,
it takes you a minute to get yourself back together.
This happens a lot in life, well, to me.
You're just out living,
and suddenly..
you're in a knee-deep pool of emotions.
Maybe it's because of stress, or drama, or maybe it's nothing.
But whatever it is, it keeps building up and up,
and you can't really do anything,
so you just kind of accept it.
Eventually, you end up to where you're in up to your shoulders,
and it's getting harder to stay up.
You try to get out, but you cant, and that only makes it so much worse.
You're stuck.
You're going under.
And sometimes you come back up after a bit, and eventually you're fine.
Sometimes, though..
you're not too sure if you're going to make it back up again.
This is my first post, so please be kind! I always accept constructive criticism.
I need you
in every sense of the word.
I long for your touch.
I crave your kiss.
I desire your voice, softly, in my ear.
But mostly
I want you to be with me tonight,
so we can both sleep peacefully for once.
i've got this lump in my throat filled with all the things i want to say
i've got fire at my heels begging me to run faster in the other direction
and in this direction
in every direction. i've got fire at my heels. snapping at my heels.
go go go
i've got strings attached to my limbs
the trees are pulling me along their paths
pulling me up and apart and sinking me down heavy with their roots
up//up//down

i've got potential, i promise.
but let's forget.

start (over)

back again i need to go
endlessly night and day

when the sun and moon are out at the same time
think about me most in those times
there are strings that pull me in both directions
they pull me apart
to you and away
Thanks for the bite marks, *******
We grow up, grow old
So much they'll ask that can't be told
Waiting for our train,
I'm waiting in vain
The tracks are rusted
And I'm getting cold
Can I just write a note,
And let the ink do the talking?
Is it too soon for stopping?
Can you hear my cells popping?
You be the pin, you're sharp as it is
So this is it
No cure for headsick
