I heard a cry in the night,
A thousand miles it came,
Sharp as a flash of light,
My name, my name!

It was your voice I heard,
You waked and loved me so—
I send you back this word,
I know, I know!
As the world admonishes
the curiosity and heroism of youth
their mother's milk spoils inside,
and the hopeful
become sour.
This poem was a response to "Catcher in the Rye."
I thought I could do it.
Tried hard to make it through it.
But just the mention of your name.
Instantly killed my hope and dreams.

It's hard to love another.
When I..
When I..
Suddenly have you at the centered of my mind.

You predicted it.
While I was in denial.
You love to stated it.
When I was surrounded by others.

And all your prediction seem to be.
When I..
When I..
Can't keep you off my mind.

Oh, it's hard to love another.
When I'm still centered upon you.
let's be water
and flow where we want 
go where we wish 
and fall till were gone

let's be sand
and lay till we can’t
sit where we stand
as I crawl to your hand

let's be ice 
and go where its cool
live like we rule
the world is no fool

let's be fire 
and burn till we’re cold
flicker to the beat
with the rhythm and soul

let's be air 
and float through the sky
stop all our cares
and go where its high

let's be rocks
and last forever we will
roll around and fall down
without a care in the world 

let's be trees 
and live as long as we last
grow taller than the highest mast
and give love at every pass

let's be flowers 
and grow where there’s grass
love with our hearts
and let go of the past

let's be flowers and grow where there’s grass
I sent the line "lets be flowers and grow where there's grass" to my very best friend, we were talking about who and what we could be, and or going to be one day.
She was very satisfied with bing a flower. ha.
Strange when you find that someone that soothes your heart.
There's always one that wants to keep you apart.
Sometimes, you must block them out.
And grow together.

Oh, we will build our world together.
That those that stands against us.
Will eventually wants to be around us.

Yes, we will build our world together.
If it's only the two of us within it.
Cause what God has placed together?
Others must not tear it apart.

And when they try.
We will go the distance to build our world together.

We don't have to impress the outsiders.
And that's where they are wrong.
And become the subject of several songs.

All because they refuses to see the love between us two.
While we build our world together.

Soon, we will be the truth of what they want to build their world upon?
If life is about
The journey
And not
The destination,
Then where
Am I going?
Saw someone drop their phone
and laughed at them.
I'd like to watch the world drop
their stupid/smartphones
and have to look at each others
stupid goat like faces and gazes.

Remind me what heaven looks like,
all I remember is that I'm a scumbag
with moral insensitivity and
you are my nightmares off the page.
Simultaneously a classic,
also a contemporary gore piece.
A landmine seized by epidemic.

Walked away with an insincere
"I'll see you later",
and I responded with a sincere
"Whatever."
Maybe I'm destroying myself in
character slowly but it takes
so ******* long still.
I cheered an old man who crossed the street alone.
I'm getting too close to yelling at a manager,
and losing a job I need to much.
Too close to the edge, but
when I think about it I always am,
and when I think even harder
I hate everything so much.
