Sunlight falls with you here
And becomes lost in your beauty
The stars are jealous of how you shine
Indeed, your light is more softly beautiful
Recognized in the reflection of my unworthy eyes
Everything is brighter with you in my life
Written 20 February 2016... why does love never last?

The worst of the night
Is that creeping fatal doubt
That leeches onto my spirit
Reminding me I'm not good

The worst of the night
Is that familiar aching
Deep in my heart, no
The aching that is my heart

The worst of the night
Is recalling the whole day
And remembering what I
Should have done differently

The worst of the night
Is knowing tomorrow is coming
No matter what happens, it comes
And my demons wait for me

to all the good and loving foster parents, thank you so much. :) To the bad, this is for you*

Adopt a kid for your own
And when they make you groan
Send them back to the orphan's home
And then let them freely roam
Don't feel bad when their brains are blown
Written 19 February 2016... when I wrote this, it was for a friend with bad foster parents... but now it's dedicated to my friend who killed herself this year partly because her foster parents didn't care about her... didn't love her... I forgot I wrote this but now as I read... **** how did it become so true?

A day without sleep I finally nap
Awoke at four in the afternoon
And, oh boy, do I need more sleep
As my eyes keep trying to close up
And send me back to violent dreams

I woke up on my comfortable Sealy mistress
And turned of the alarm on my Apple iPhone 6
I walk into the kitchen and turn on my Keurig machine
And I put in my Dunkin Donuts medium roast coffee
I set my Starbucks coffee mug beneath it
As its filled with two teaspoons of C&H; sugar
I turn on my widescreen HD LG television
And start up my Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablet
I order some Dominoes pizza for delivery
And put in a Walt Disney movie
I proceed to drift to sleep on my JC Penny's couch
And I dream that I am nothing but a sellout

Forget the rules
Follow the rules
Learn the wisdom between the two
And remember that sometimes I'm wrong

That's how I write
And honestly that's how I live
And love, for that matter.
