'Perfect in countless ways' this shared thought lingers.
But they cannot create pretty, pleasant pictures.
For those 'perfect' puzzle pieces misalign - beware...
Knitting a painfully incompatible pair.
Tomorrow
begins the end
Tomorrow
I sit alone again
Tomorrow
I pretend I care what I'm learning about
Tomorrow
I wake up early exhausted
Tomorrow
I spend hours doing busywork
Tomorrow
I have to keep myself together the whole day
Tomorrow
The struggle to keep my tears in continues
Tomorrow
I feel so lonely always
Tomorrow
Begins a whole week of this
Tomorrow is monday

"Tomorrow is only a day awayyyyyyy"
-Annie

"Unfortunately"
-My response
I said no to drugs once.
I looked a bag of **** right in the face
and, like a loving but firm father,
I said, "No."
I was really high.
I don't like things to end

Today I met up with some friends
We had a good time
Playing board games and laughing
It was fun
And soon
It was over
It would be another week
Until I'd see them again
But in the meantime
I'd feel like I had no friends
So I left their house
With a heavy heart
Going back in time to when I was a little girl
Begging my mother in tears
"Just five more minutes, please!"
But now I just had to deal
It was over
And that was it
Sadness eating me
I wished I enjoyed it more when it happened
I feel this way every week
In my head
I have this mantra
For anytime I feel uncomfortable
Or sad
Or just plain bad

I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home

The saddest part
Is that I say it in my own house
I want to feel at home
In my own house
I never have
Is it too much to ask?
My coffee is cold,  
But not the good kind—  
The bitter kind.  
I don’t want to warm it up.  
You said you’d make a fresh ***,  
But you left before I woke.

I could wait in the kitchen,  
But I can’t read your mind anymore.  
I can’t make you laugh anymore.  
I don’t make your coffee anymore.

You said "one and only,"  
But all it became was lonely.

Don't you notice the clouds  
Drifting by?  
Or has your coffee gone cold,  
Like mine?

I’ll finish mine  
And head out too,  
Humming:  
"Clouds in my coffee, and  
...You're so vain..."

You're So Vain by Carly Simon

There's work I shouldn't be doing
But work I will not do
Until it's the very last moment
And I have to
I am a master procrastination
my love for you
is a boomerang.
I aim for your heart
but nobody taught me
how to throw.
I release.
who knows if it's coming back.
People are like leaves
Some have been stepped on
And some have just fallen
Some have been taken by a child and cherished
And some left on the bottom of the leaf pile
Forgotten

People are like leaves
So different from each other
Some older
Some younger
Different shapes and sizes
Colors mixed together

People are like leaves
Some are misshapen and not picked up
And some are declared beautiful and get straightened in a book
Was walking listening to music today and this thought came to mind

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hug
I want to hug my younger self
And I also know I will when I'm older
So I hug myself now
And say it's from the future
Yes, I am aware I might be going insane

— The End —
