breathe
do you feel your lungs expanding?
do you feel you chest rising?
open
open your eyes
do you see the sun?
the moon?
the stars?
the clouds?
all of them were made for you
you
wonderful
       beautiful
                lovely
                                ­           YOU
sincerely,
someone who cares

I'm not my father.
Water is thicker than blood.
I refuse to rot.
I hate haikus
I asked God for the truth .

And he said "You will know the truth , and the truth will set you free."

But he didn't tell me it would make me sad .
You can't reject the truth without grasping hold of a lie .

Purpose

All life has a purpose.

I sit down and wonder about each

But my smile falls; that tells me otherwise.

I wonder what mines is.

Perhaps I would like my purpose to be like a flower.

use for happiness and grief.

Or perhaps a butterfly.

They have significant meaning in everyone's life.

Am I supposed to make my own, or is it given, or is it already decided?

All I know is that I would like a purpose, no matter if it's small or big.

Just a purpose
broken
                    the lonely shard in a trembling hand
******
                    gripping it tighter
beautiful
                    pain, sharp and real.
bone
                    through skin

veins,
                    exploding
arteries.
                    shattered
dreams
                    and
lost
                    screaming
splintered
                   whispers


end it all
read in columns and then all together
