Maybe kissing won't
make it better,
like mom always told us,
when we had a scrape or a scratch;
maybe this cut is too deep for
a little peck
maybe we need
a full on makeout session
to make it better.
You wanna try?

lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feeling
this isn't our first time around
M Nov 2015
It hurts to not fit in,
even if everything else feels alright
because part of me thinks,
"If only I were a little bit cooler, or
hung out with the popular crowd,
if only I wasn't so loud-
then, maybe, things would be different."
I know that's not the truth. It isn't.
(that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt)
(I just think my voice should be allowed)
(Why do some people look at me like I'm dirt?)
(Is it that hard for you to listen and for me to be heard?)

stone cold sober and I'm afraid my heart
will never be anything but stone
for anyone but gin and juice.

we're all pretending to smell candles
loving people who don't love us
and wondering when it will end

"Survival is for the human animal; fear the motivation. For the spiritual being survival is irrelevant. Curiosity, compassion and creativity are the name of the game; unconditional love the motivation." ~ Peter Shepherd

"When we pass by another person without telling them we love them it’s cruel and wrong and we all know this.”
Dave Eggers

I've got a lot of dead skin to slough off and a lot of people
that have forgotten how to love
of whom I need to let go.

"I want you to promise me something. If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing. Even if you're scared it will cause problems. Even if you're scared it will burn your life to the ground. You say it. You say it out loud. And you go from there."
-Mark Sloan. Aka McSteamy. Rj told me that I am most like him out of the characters on grey's anatomy so I looked him up and this is what came up. I was pretty blown away because it sounds exactly like something I'd say.

circles
I live, breathe, move
act in circles
and even though I know my history
I am still doomed to repeat it

lighten up. it is funny.

I would like to sit inside during a thunderstorm
with you
talk until our minds are united
dance to the pitter-patter of rain
go stir-crazy beyond the usual levels
and then nap together

I've mastered the skill of how-to-keep-going
even when everything's gone wrong
because for me, things go wrong a lot, and I've ****** up a lot
so if people leave me I know what to do now, you know?
and, yet, it never stops hurting. it never gets easier
when everything's gone wrong. But it doesn't mean
I won't just keep going and keep living my life.
I'm better now. And if my mistakes in the past
define who I am, then ****, man, who the **** am I?
I tried my best. That's all I could do. Gotta keep going.

as if it means nothing to me
as if it could mean anything but everything
M Dec 2015
sometimes I say to the Lord,
this is too much. You have given me too much
but then I remember what I asked him
and I remember how much more so many people have
been through- that Joseph had a woman he could never
have, a child that would never be his, and instructions
to go on a journey to a country that enslaved his people
because the authorities in his own country were out to ****
his family. And I dare look at the Lord and say,
"You have given me too much" when martyrs
have died, Daniel came out of the lion's den,
many men went into the flames saying, "if not,
He is still good", guns have been pressed to heads
with the question "are you a Christian" and the response
could mean death, and life; or life, and death.
How dare I look at the Lord and say,
"You have given me too much"?
I cannot. I daren't.

I must become better. I know I have it in me
I can.

what is it about my thoughts that I don't want to be alone with?
M Aug 2015
everyone, no matter how ****** up, deserves a friend
and deserves to feel at peace with someone

I do not wish to be scarred, thickened, hardened
I do not wish to become knarled
I want, and I only want
to stay tender and soft
energetic
and naïve
my whole life.

too busy watching swirls of starry love pass before my
dreaming eyes to notice. too lost in my own wasted heart.

we all crave honesty, we all crave love, we all crave faithfulness
these are otherwise known as intimacy.
don't be afraid to be intimate.
M Oct 2015
so many times I wondered, Lord,
why you gave me love with no reward
and now I know, the secret has been told-
the whole ****** time you were trying to save my soul.

it seems normalcy is too much to ask for.
but then again, the opposite of love is indifference and the opposite of heaven is ice. Numbness is a sign of net weight 0. Any feeling, event, or experience, is preferable to nothing existing or happening at all.

M Nov 2015
I still feel bruised and battered.
I still feel broken. I'm so sorry. I can't help it.
I'm still hurt. I'm still upset.
My chest still aches. I'm so sorry. I don't know what to do.
They say time heals all wounds. I hope so. I hope that's true.
