Don't tell me that.
That you don't think what I do is hard.
Don't tell me that.
That what you study is better than what I study.
Don't mock me.
You can't do what I do.
No one can do what I do.
That's the beauty of being creating things.
No two people can create the same two things.
Have fun doing surgery and risking people's lives.
I have a culture to inspire.

Climbing trees
Breathing deep
Feeling the breeze
Take a leap

I'm free
I'm a flea
On Earth
There is no worth

Its on my mind
That we are all blind
Mankind is confined
Because we wont combine

We can not be defined
We are beautifully designed
I feel I'm inclined
To remind

A frame of mind
Where will all combine
To live as one
No need for bofors guns, hired guns, machine guns or bombing runs

Just Fun
For everyone
Imagine this for me
Believe and see
Us as one

and can't find anything better to do.

although you've gotten taller,
your eyes have remained
the same shade of trusting brown
and deep down
you are still the little girl
who stayed up late
whispering secrets to her best friend
beneath flower patterned sheets

and you're still afraid of spiders
and you still cannot sit still
and as you grew up
you noticed that the world
is a lot smaller than it used to seem

and i think when you looked
into the wonder-filled eyes
of this little girl
you saw a reflection of yourself
and it reminded you that
although you’ve gotten taller,
your eyes have retained
that same glimmer of hope

We have crossed paths without speaking before,
but this is very different.
I travelled as far as Riverside
before my heart went chasing your gravity.
I know.
I just haven't stopped loving you yet.
Please return the package to sender.

life is so absence
we cant seem
to explain
a dam thing

so let it be
do what seems
to be
impossible to the things

the things we live around
that say we cant
do a dam thing
we were meant to be

so be more than you can be
express every emotion
with a sense of well being
do it with more than confidence

do it with who you know is
that is you
the person that comes from behind it all
find it like so

and shine like the universe
that is
inside
us all

we are having fun
picnics for hell
not worried
climbing bean stocks with our tails

as far as we go
we hold on
tightest grip around hope
avoiding change at all cost

we will never fall
floating on clouds
enjoying the conveniences
taking for granted the limbs that help us

dreams evaporating
the higher we climb
bees in the sky
leeching life for fun

they screech with there wings
brushing up against our legs cutting deep
big radiated eyes that burn souls for free
twice our size they scream

"how can it be
that your happy
when you have nothing
to show happiness for

dreams don't exist here
just perspiration of your soul
as you grow old
prepare to die slow"

I say no
we are so much more
you will not scare me
i am here to fight

die i might
die i will
its okay as long
as i am dieing with thrill

untangle your limbs
from the odd position
you wake up in
comb your fingers
through your knotted, ginger hair
streeetttchhhhh.
sit up,
look out the window
see if it's a nice enough day
to keep breathing for
hm.
maybe it is.
think about libraries
and walks to rivers
but mostly about
scrubbing off
the dried mascara
on your face
smile.
right there and then.
only because someone told you
that if you smiled enough
it would make you happy.
like magic.
try not to remember
the empty room
next door
and the stop-motion
perfume
on her vanity
realize that this is only
day one...
smile
gone
really should stop ignoring all my sister's texts. but i'm still so angry with her for leaving. i don't want to be here.

firstly,
find everything
that ever scared you
collect them all together into a group
get yourself a bigass stage
stand on it right in front of them
and tell them
to *******

secondly,
pull all the memories that try to choke you
that try to drown you
like the mean hand
of that girl that used to bully you
and hold your head under the water
till your lungs hurt...
pull all those memories out
hang them on a clothes line
until they are dry
and so crisp
that you can crunch them
in your hand
and remember to laugh
as you do so
because once they were frightening
but now they are
floating away from your fist

and lastly
seek out your greatest fear
and force yourself to sit with it
until you have befriended it
he will be
your greatest
ally
he will teach you
how not to be
afraid

if you can make peace
you will always have it
like the funky necklace made out of beads
you made with your cousin

if you do these things
someday you will be
not afraid
of anything
but i wouldn't know
i can't even get past
step one
and everyone you love is made of stardust
