It's been two years
I'd never really thought much about it
Until you were the last thing I saw
Before the scarf was tied over my eyes

I fumbled around in the dark
Bumping into everything from disgust to hope
And even when I found your smooth hands
I was still lost
You guided me in circles
While whispering a thousand things in my ear

And when we stopped and I took the blindfold off
I blinked furiously in the light
All I felt was a sense of longing
And all I could see were blue shadows cast upon your lips

War

I am my own worst enemy
But I can't tell who's winning

Happy Place

Docks
Forest
Smiling faces

Cicadas
Rustling sails
Laughing children

Sunscreen
Pine trees
Bonfires

Sandwiches
Bug spray
Clean air

Ropes
Paddles
Hands

Happy
Peaceful
Loved

tried to use the 5 senses, but words can hardly describe my love for camp

they always told me "mind over matter"
well, what if "mind" can't find a ladder?

Paris in Spring

The most interesting thing
About Paris in spring
Is watching locals strutting around

The most inspiring thing
About Paris in spring
Are the daffodils waking from the ground

The most astonishing thing
About Paris in spring
Is the architecture, Notre Dame to Bastille

But the saddest thing
About Paris in spring
Is wishing you could admire it with me

Paris was amazing, I miss it so much already

My name is not Alice and we are far from Wonderland

My thoughts stir around my head
like a lulling chaos
They dare not scream
only whispering in my ear
all about the same thing
Forty different people
pointing in all directions
telling me which path to follow
The one thing they have in common
is that these people
seem to share the same name:
Yours

Clinomania

trust me
i don't want to be this way
what addict does?

flashback
ages 4 through 13
i spent at least an hour
each night
staring into the dark
wishing it were in my head

here I am now
busy
exciting life
stressful
but filled with activity
exhaustion

it's an escape from
family
friends
responsibility
where my thoughts can drift
lazily through my mind
euphoria

it's relaxation
my body still
at total peace
nothing but breathing

i'm trying to run
but at all the wrong times
and i'm not staying at the right ones

it's destroying me

i know that this all my own fault
because i'm still letting it

I am not sad, simply too happy where I am.
