I envy the words that spew out of Mercury
How he had the world at his fingertips
With just a word or a string of notes
He is the glue that binds
The hopeless and the hopeful
The faithless and the faithful
The misfits and those who belong
He knows love and he knows pain
Eyes of oak and voice of honey

To be continued

She
She sits in the corner
Feet bound and mouth covered
Held captive by a mind none other than her own
She drifts into oblivion
to the heavens and beyond
to Mercury and the Moon
While the world stops not on her account
Incoherently, the chatter continues
She dwindles between dreaming by day and slumber by night.

I want to be seen.
I want to be heard.
I want you to love me as I am.
All the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Touch my hands
Touch my soul too
Show me warmth
Show me light
Wrap your arms around me
And tell me we'll be alright.

May we forgive the ones who refuse to see past our faults and our flaws.
May we forgive the ones who make us feel like the results of our upbringings are our faults and ours alone.
May we forgive the ones who make us feel as though we are the heaviest burden to carry.
May we forgive the ones who have wronged us.
May we forgive the ones who have beaten and broken us,
and
May we forgive the ones who struggle to see our hearts.

After asking myself, the universe and the great unknown, "Why? Why am I like this? Why do I remember the ones who do not deserve to be remembered? Why am I able to keep them in my heart, always?" I opened my heart out to someone who's done the same for me. It wasn't easy, as almost everything I've felt and done for seven years -- seven difficult years -- was deeply and heavily buried in my mind and heart. I then realized that I wasn't capable of forgetting people. I wasn't meant to leave them in the past. What I can do now, is to simply move - forward, sideways, but never backwards. I realized that I am only able to be much kinder and more genuine, to expect nothing from those whom I carry with me in my heart - and that is okay.

Wandering this earth at 21
With no right path
No green pastures
Just rock
Mud
Dirt
And the frightening thoughts that run through my head
I fear the worst
As I am lost
My compass has long been broken
This nothingness is maddening
And shakes me inside out
I wish to cry
And scream
And fall
Into the dark abyss
To become
One
With nothingness
Silence
Peace
Solitude
Take me under your wings
And let me
Bid farewell
To the gray area
I call my life.
