Oh you know, there's this way where if I turn my Facebook chat off, it will show me in a light screen which people were online how many minutes ago.
It's usually a different list from my active ones. And well,
I lost your name when we didn't chat for more than a month.
I do that so I can see you.
It lets me see that you were there even if we aren't

pick, take, place, return,
repeat,
no more,
I promise.
I return.
I pick, I take, I place, I return.
constantly.
I pick the life, I take their time, I place it back on the counter,
a week later,
and then I return.
to the wisdom creator.
the power,
to relieve me of my woes,
of everyday life.

she, the one with the computer, and the scanner,
has the power to give me other lives,
or to make me love mine,

a little more
pick, take, place, return,
repeat.

i really love the library

Once
I had a dream
before the world tore it from the scheme
I wanted to be my self
the world kept me on this shelf
I never wanted to be the same
but my differences were a shame

I am now the same
but still weighed down by shame
I keep my heart in a bottle
its becoming a bomb
tick tick tick tick
emotions dripping  out
boom boom boom boom
the differences pouring out
the glass shattering
the horrors of my world
now stare into my soul
they threaten to rip me apart
I wanted to make a change
the world swallows my words
whole

I broke our glass ceiling
and now the horrors are gleaming
is this the meaning then,
that we
reach a deafening crescendo
and then fall silent,
fall forever
a feather
from an iron glove?
if so
what happens to the joyous
screaming of being and being
in love?
is that lost forever too?

There is an irony in the
searching out of
what turns into a
life long odyssey and
you find
the longest journey is
yet to come.

the suicide opt in
where you opt out
is not locked in
even when
you're locked out

but the silence kills us anyway..
I have a friend
She is my Forever
A friend since childhood
She's like a precious treasure
Unfortunately she lives far away
But with video chat we can talk
face to face nearly every day

I have a friend
She is my Sun
So calm and gentle
She's full of fun
When I'm feeling bleak
My mood dark as night
She comes bringing her rays of sunshine
and surrounds me with her light

I have a friend
She is my Knight In Shining Armour
A friend who's talkative and vibrant
She's a real charmer
She always seems to know when I'm feeling sad and blue
She takes me away on what we call a pampering rescue

I have a friend
She is my smile
I've had this friend for quite a while
Time will pass maybe 6months or more
Next minute she'll be at my door
With a big smile and lots of charm
ready to greet me with open arms

I have a friend, My best friend
She is my sister
If she were to ever leave
I would truly miss her
She is so full of love, support and care
and no matter what she's always there
She helps me so
and life at times isn't much fun
And one day I hope to repay her for everything she has done
If I combined together the years that I have known these ladies minus my sister it works out to be 113years.
