She is so beautiful,
You don’t get tired looking at her.
Even when she has tears streaming down her face,
Or when you see her just after she’s gotten out of bed in the morning.

You never worry if she is smarter than you,
You know she is.
She doesn’t even have to study the work to get an A.
But you can’t get jealous,
You’re just amazed.

She is funny without ever being mean.
She would never hurt anyone,
No matter how much they hurt her.
No matter how much pain is caused,
She’ll try her best to wake up with a smile on her face.

I love her.
She makes my heart ache is ways I didn’t even know.
I love her.
I am so lucky to love her,
Van Houten.

You don’t get to chose if you get hurt in this world, old man,
But you do have a say in who hurts you.
I like my choices,
I hope she likes hers.

What else?
You’ll never find anyone like her.

An infusion of love
Spreads like a golden glow.
I am immortal
Standing on the shoulders of giants.
The future is at my feet
Just a wee bit of parental love and support makes me feel 10ft tall

I was told
That my pen
Seems to leak sadness

But this is not true

It is my soul,
Which leaks sadness

It is my mind
My heart
My arms
My legs
Which leak sadness

It is me,
Which leaks sadness

So do not blame my pen
It is me
Leaking sadness

Not the pen

There are two types of people in this world:

1) The happy ones
The ones who love life
Love living
Have joy
In their hearts

2) The gentle ones
Who let others go first
Are always content
Not really sad
But not happy either

3) The ones like me
Too sad
Too tired
Too alone
Worrying  too much
And too confused
By life
To even count
This is based off a dumb joke
Let's go for a walk
and leave this prison
thick with the harsh words and pain
that has  been absorbed
in to the walls and the carpets
and every inch of this house,
heavy and oozing,
dripping on to us,
coating every thought.
Choking and smothering
so that no word can leave our mouths
without barbs
meant to snag and hurt.
We cannot stay here.
We cannot talk here.
Let's go for a walk
to fill our lungs
with sweet fresh air
and let the chill of the night
clear our minds.
And our hearts, if we will let it
You know that saying
"If you love someone set them free"
Well I've always
nodded in agreement
but tonight I can really see
what that means
When you see the one you love
in pain
because they need to change
what else can you do
except paint them wings
and bring them to life
