my feet are happy
my ears are happy
my arms are happy
and my legs are happy
my heart is happy
my head is happy
my soul is happy
that you are home.
finally finally finally.
happy happy happy
i really did miss you.
how in the whole wide world could i explain how much this feels like christmas.
i called your dad and he said "in an hour" so i ran outside and yipped and jumped high in the air (thank god for trampolines) and ran around in circles and jumped some more like a little child at easter.
not even a poem but i need to get this out. thank you thank you thank you world for bringing jasper home safe.

I saw so much of you today,
even though I know you weren’t there.
Because every speck of dust
is just a piece you left behind.
And that’s okay.
I’m okay.
I swear I’m okay.
And that is no longer a lie.
I absorb rainfall through every pore
and sunsets through weary eyes.
They remind me that I am not incomplete.
And even though you keep so much of me,
there is still plenty left to give;
and I will pour it all out, just as you did.
Like how you showed me
every blemish,
every mistake,
every scar.
It didn’t matter how deep.
And I might be okay now,
but I’m so scared that I still
say your name in my sleep.
you tell me
        my body is listening
        but my mind is a
stubborn child without what it wants
        and it's putting up a fair fight

When I look into the mirror,
I look into my eyes,
Is what I see called fear or,
Is it just a disguise?
I'm uncomfortable, while you **** the world,
I'm still misunderstanding what I'm seeing,
I can see your banners unfurled,
And why is it a killer your being?

Your killing the world one but at a time,
The body turns to ash,
As the shell is a helm of lies,
And you still look into the past,
You're done before you started,
As you killed yourself long ago,
But you aren't even a martyr,
You still have millions left to go.

Studs spikes and leather is what I wear,
But I still know what lies beneath,
This a shield I wear to be fair,
Because underneath the lies and things, i am truly weak,
I put on a guise to protect myself,
But still I don't nothing to hold,
As the platform I burn is my shelf,
And I fall in with the rest of the world.
i know you're not sleeping well    
you're hiding it from me                
you're not telling me                ♡    
but i can tell                      i'm sorry
i know                      and i just wish
♡                        i could be there  
to hold you tight at night
until you slept soundly and safe
i                      
just                                    
don't    
want                                                  
to    
try                            
anymore        
for                                                  
anyone                                                                

i've got my poetry
and if you don't care about that
i don't care about you
i'm over trying to be who you want
i'm over it
i'm not smart
i'm not sporty
accept it
I'M NOT YOU

and i don't care                                                                      
i'm not trying for you                                                          
i'm living for me                                                                    
thankyou.
i read at the end of books
      acknowledgments
                           and in most of them
there's a thankyou
         directed at their "loving" "supportive" family
how they made their love for writing
    and helped them every way possible
                                                        ­                 i have a cat
                                                                ­         but he doesn't help
                                                            ­             support? i guess so
                but no, my parents and family
    they ridicule me for my writing
   it'll never be worth my effort and time

                            i'm scared that one day
        what their trying to say
             will finally get through to me
                                      i'll realize that my writing isn't worth anything
                                                        ­               it's not worth effort
i don't want that day to come
and no you're not going to be
in my acknowledgments,
my cat might
you wont
