Thinking you'd trust
The only one who listens,
You told me some things
I didn't want to know.

Digesting the ugly
Secrets you confessed
Kept me frozen
In awkward silence,
Shocked.
Bored and lazy,
I lay my head down.
My eyes are closed,
Daydreaming.

I do not want
To do a thing,
A side effect
Of using.

I need a
Substance
Just to care,
Even when
I'm losing.

I'm thoughtless
When I'm sober,
Indifferent to
Refusing.

Learn from my
Mistakes;
Don't learn
By doing.

I wish I
Wasn't ruined.
No, there is no such thing as nothingness
'Cause even voids of space are filled with light.
The fear of falling into an abyss,
Alone in deep darkness, offends my mind.

Without the light, there are no eyes to see.
No one with whom to share your pain and joy.
A gaze shines out toward us; we feel its heat.
It’s gleaning glare you never can avoid.

There’s light even in dark places you go.
All things are luminescent to degrees,
So always know that you are not alone.
Nothing can be devoid of energy.

There’s no such thing as emptiness at all.
Relax because there is no space to fall.
Like water
We converge
Into oceans.

But first,
We diverge
Into rain.

And rain
Flows down.
It makes its way.

Don't fight
What can't
Be changed.

Don't give in
To the madness
Of contradiction.

An open mind,
Reflecting,
Isn't dazed.

Just go
And meet
The ocean

Where you
Unite with
Vastness.
