The winds of change are coming
Feel it in your bones
Summers blistering heat
Says goodbye
Welcome in autumn's chill
The heart that felt cold
Even with summers blazing heat
Now becomes warm
Upon the autumn breeze
The book that's been worn
So many times re-read
Pages of past fall out
Blown away
by the autumn wind
The unassumed campfire
Now becomes the pasts
Celebrated funeral pyre
Acrid smoke changes
To the sweet scent of freedom
As the past burns
The heart is warmed
the soul set free
Upon this autumn's
Winds of change
And with it new hellos..

You take life too seriously,
and it's really quite a shame,
because life's too serious when taken that way -
it's better to play it like a game.

You should get a tattoo.
Something whimsical and fun,
like the Keibler elf riding a dolphinicorn -
Man that would be so awesome!

You take yourself too seriously,
and I'm pretty sure you do it on porpoise.
Listen: just because you got a dumb tattoo
doesn't mean you're worthless.
What, you don't know what a dolphinicorn is?

Only instead of staying up all night talking on the phone,
I spend it writing to strangers.
Because it's almost like socializing, while still being alone.

I have no friends,
and all of the ones that I do have
don't like me very much.
Maybe it's because I go around telling all of my friends that I have no friends,
which is probably a **** move.
"Jeez, really?
No, seriously, are you kidding me right now?
Good god, it was just a joke okay.
Can't you take a joke?"

So I'm technically certifiable,
And you're the type that I want to keep around.
I'm the kind of person
That holds onto letters and movie ticket stubs
And drawings with hearts on them.

I'm not great at letting go,
But I'm sure as you've noticed,
I'm fantastic
At getting attached.

And I'm the kind of girl
Who doesn't stick around very long,
Because losing people is unbearable,
But I'm also the kind of girl
That sticks to her word
No matter what.

And what if I made a promise,
To both you and myself,
That I'm going to be around
For as long as oxygen sifts through the breeze?
And what if I told you
That's the only promise I need?

I'm shivering
And wrapped up in your sweatshirt,
And you probably fell asleep
(Not like I blame you, you were tired)
But I can't seem to tell if I'm shivering out of being cold
(As per usual)
Or shivering because I'm so excited
To love you.

You promised me
You're not going anywhere,
And maybe I'm a little sentimental,
But listening to music that makes me think of you,
Helps me come to terms
With how much I trust in you and that promise.
Everything is telling me that this is right,
And safe,
And I don't normally place bets
Because I generally lose,
But I'll write it out now,
Because I bet we'll make it.

Give me something/anything to hold on to this moment/you.
Sentimentally mental or mentally sentimental?

I left you because I couldn't stand the thought of watching you be the one to walk away.
I broke up with you because even though it hurt walking away. I feel better knowing you weren't the one to say the words.

I believe that my soul is
Part of a whole

Connected to all that you see

You're not just you
And I'm not just me

We're as one, and always will be

When born into heaven
All is made clear

We are one with the earth
With the trees, with the deer

We are one with the clouds
And the rain, and the sea

We are one with each other
I'm with you, you're with me
I never really knew my grandparents and always thought it would be such a gift if I could read anything they wrote! It is why I write!

I have an important annoucement to make
An announcement that will leave many of you stunned
I just can't hold it in anymore
It rampages in my heart and soul
Like a never before seen angry beast
So here I go
I...am a nerd
There I said it
It's out now so let it be known
And for now on it will shown
The result of me being bored at 2am
