you say you’re at rock bottom
that there’s nothing lower than you
but you're wrong

there are rocks lower yet
and there’s always a chance to
float back to the surface

popsicle season:
hot sun
old brown trucks
red ants
and feeling like you’re worth something
Mikitara Jun 2013
when water drops
from the showerhead
feel like bullets
and the threadbare bed's
springs are rusty
and there’s silent night
after silent night
do not give up.

here’s to the kids
that are lonely
but not alone
Mikitara Jun 2013
in this state
between black and gray
and white-washed day
there is no happy or sad
there is only me
Mikitara Jun 2013
I can’t say
You are nothing to me
Because back then
You meant the world to me

I can’t say
You are my world
Because now
I love my world

Quiet paper house on a quiet paper hill.
Set it all aflame and watch it fly.
Little fire footsteps flitting through the streets.
Little candle children watch them die.
