Well hello there again
I haven't seen you in a while
This feels all the same
Just like when I was a child
The past coming to visit. This one person used to be my weakness.

The trees are getting brighter
leaves are catching fire
The air is getting crisper
I hear a faint whisper
Am I listening to my chest?
or is this a new mindset?
My balance is unsteady
I hope that I'll be ready
I might just fall
The outside change small
Its a new season inside
I'm here for the ride
For The Now I strive
I tell you, Autumn is alive
Written at the park Nov 4th 2012
Most humans drink coffee and wine
They consume television and mainstream novels
They feed their souls with popularity contests and safe relationships

But poets
We could not survive without passion, intensity, and meaning
Everything we feel is felt to the depths of our souls
We are the ones to put into words the unspeakable pain of heartbreak
The incomprehensible joy of falling in love
We are the ones brave enough to say out loud the diaries of a thousand souls

Us poets
We drink tea and whiskey

My eyes are prettier when I cry
My heart feels stronger now that I've tried
When you give it your all, do everything you can, but still get let down, at least you know you did your best. You didn't disappoint yourself.

It will happen to the best of us
losing our insanity
I climbed into a tree of lust
to feel reality
We're only living on the crust
and the earth is really deep
We humans always think we have it figured out; the way we're supposed to live and love. But to never question your beliefs is real insanity

Regret is for the people who live in the past

I believe that my heart is here to last

The ink in the skin draws a picture

The hope for an interest to flicker

Sharing your life and new thought

An old perspective shall be taught
"Do you really think you're going to want those forever?"
Jaclyn Harlamert Jan 2017
Are you doing your best at living?
Are you giving it all you have?
We all have something to give to the world,
So dont be shy
Are you making yourself happy?
Or are you making yourself cry?
Listen to your feet, not your head
Show your teeth, hold a hand
Are you here right now?
Or are you in another land?
