My half-life reflects
my active light, I’m as bright
as my afterlife.

Chitter chatter,
pitter patters
against my ear drum.

Someone please stop the voices.

You spread lies around town like a dandelion.
Don’t try to hide it, it’s written in your iris
There’s no need to cry about the crisis now
because it’s all crystal clear like a cirrus cloud.

Inviting security of the self,
invites insecurity within our lives.

Someone who makes me feel like I matter, is worth much more than matter itself.
We all struggle at times, and there is always that one person that picks us up.

Once the positive trending tags
outweigh the negatives,
we’ll find continuity
within our contemplation,
our emotional state,
and our existence.
But as the negative trending tags
outweigh the positives,
our continuity will be conflicted.

DO NOT GET ME WRONG, I understand the complete concept of poetry. It is a means of expression, whether it is out of contentment or depression.  More than anything else, this poem was out of empathy. I CANNOT be the only one that is upset that the negative trending tags outweigh the positive ones. I am NOT telling you what you should write about. I am reflecting on an observation. Do NOT get me wrong.

You are a galaxy.*
From the way gravity pulls your lips
back into a smile when you laugh
to your *stellar remnants
of Vegas.
I thought it would take parsecs
for two distant galaxies to even come
into visual morphology with one another
but we collided into an elliptical love
that is practically observable
throughout the universe.
And as we fall farther into space,
we grow closer together because galaxies
are gravitationally bound to one another.
