I think the reason I like using pens
Is that
They offer a sense of finality
And it's harder to change what I said

And if I make a mistake,
Well,
That's fine by me
I'm not ashamed of my mistakes
I won't hide them
I am out there for the world to see,
Mistakes and all

While the wind whispers,
And who can understand the leaves?

My body is a temple,
Wherein somebody defaced the walls,
Tore down the statues,
And ****** on the altars,
spraying black paint everywhere.
And - ah me!
I was overwhelmed by it all and I let it get to me, I did nothing.
Nothing at all, for the longest time

But one day, I had a glimmer of hope
And then I had two
And I had more and more
So I got up, and I cleaned my temple,
repaired it,
And - oh!
How it gleams in the sun, now

As the butterfly floats along the breeze,
I wonder what it thinks...
"What wonderful weather (or not) we have today"?
"Look at that flower. Wow"?
Who knows for certain
I suppose,
If you really want to know,
You'll have to ask the butterfly itself

Look out the windows, I
Am drawn to the clouds,
Thundering ominously.

And as I sit on my bed,

Wonder what you're thinking.

Think of me as much as I think
Of you?

Sometimes I wish I would break
All over again
So I could sew myself back together

Sometimes I miss depression
I don't know how to explain it except this:
It was such a familiar sadness

Sometimes I think I'm crazy,
Wishing for what I'll never have again..
Or at all

Sometimes I think I'm more than human
How many other people can Write Like This?

Sometimes...

Sometimes I think I'm crazy

Mountains...
Greater even than the karsts
The moon itself must climb them to shine in the sky

Black rock towers,
Capped with snow
The sharp angles of the faces,
Cutting the sky

Mountains...
Earth's true giants.

I mean, sure, it's a lot of work sometimes
And sure, things don't always go my way
But,
You know what?
It's so worth it

I very nearly died
I was so close to ripping myself from this world
I wanted to, I truly did

But I didn't
I held on
For dear

Life
And Look Where I Am today
I've come so far
I've done so much
I put so much of myself into every  single  day
It's worth it

It truly is

Because Why do we live,
If not to watch the sunset?
Why are we here,
If it's not to feel yourself falling,
Falling in love?

We're meant to be happy, I promise
Just trust and love and you'll be ok

There's something about a gym at midnight,

I've been in bed for two hours now
And I still can't sleep and
No matter where my thoughts drift they
Always come back to you and
How we fit together so ****
Well and I just really
Think that I'd sleep much better with you here but
Sadly, that's not the case so I guess I'll just
Lay here and dream of your stomach and soft
Lines and hope to god that you're thinking of me
Too because I haven't seen you in more than a
Month and we've barely talked in weeks but
Somehow I can't get you out of my head and
Really,
I either want you or
Silence




But most of all
I just
Really I just want to sleep

I'm not much of a watch person
And I'm not quite sure why
Maybe it's because I measure time by how many times I've made someone laugh
Or whether or not I've written a note for someone
I suppose that means I use people, life, as my watch,
And not a stupid little dinky machine

You know, out of all the species on Earth,
Humans are the only ones who keep track of time
Maybe we need to return to our roots
And forget our clocks
I don't want to tick-tock-tick the rest of my life away

I truly believe that every day is a chance
And we all have a choice,
We have to choose what we are going to make with this blessing of a day
I am so fortunate
To be where I am today
And I have worked so hard
To be the person that I am
You cannot imagine
The depths of my gratitude
So don't you sit there and ***** and moan about your life
You get what you get.
Simple as that
Now it's up to you to decide what you'll do with it

You have the power to do anything,
If only you try.
