Ah -
I wish you could see these stars,
Twinkling so sweetly in the night overhead

And the frogs, they
Be little,
But their chorus makes up for it

Synergy

Maybe the music is reflecting off the sky,
A magnifying glass for the light of the night

I always find myself reaching, but
Despite my large frame I can never clear the gap

Gnarled knuckles, groping
But not blindly.
I know desperately what I want

If you could see how I felt
I would cut a most unusual figure,
Back bent and twisted as I limp on,
Hands shaking
As I struggle to carry this great weight.

But there is no rest for me

The setting sun strikes the snow, and I
Can only take in the golden light
I imagine the trees dripped in honey,
Effervescent against the sky

Even the wind takes on a sweeter tone,
Sidling past the empty branches.

But not empty for much longer

Honey kisses the tree buds,
Drawing life and love and beauty

Soon we will all be singing.

me.gs

I refuse to keep my feelings down anymore,
Pushing them under like a hated enemy I want to drown

I will let them free,
A beautiful mountain spring bubbling forth
My tears and anguish will be seen,
Even if, like a far-hidden forest,
It is acknowledged by no one.
That does not change the beating of my heart
Or the breath of my lungs

And I will not silence myself,
Torturing my heart with this burden
This burden that I should not have to carry
Like so many rocks upon my shoulders

They are heavy.
And I am tired.
And I will not bear this burden anymore.

me.gs

Wide awake, dreaming
Hoping for something that will never be

My dreams always escape me,
One way or the other
And I continue to adapt

But I'm tired
Why can't they be real yet?
Why can't they be real yet?
Why can't they be real yet?
Why can't they be real yet?

me.gs

I sit here an torture myself,
Running in circles but thinking I'm moving forward.

Will I ever learn?
Why am I like this?
What's the point of it all?

To be happy, I guess...
So why do I do this to myself?

Why can't it be easy?

Too many questions,
Not enough answers.

me.gs

Tigers screaming from the pavements,
Nothing ever stays in line

Why do I have them to begin with?
They make me sick

Just bars in a cage I throw myself at I guess,
Too self-aware for its own good.

Can I let myself breathe?

Please?
