it's hard to believe
another year has come and gone
i used to call you daddy
i now call you dad
you have accomplished so much in 51 years
traveled the world
europe, asia, africa, australia, and north america
despite growing up in a small town
married for 22 years
two daughters turning 18 and 20
you have helped me through life, one step at a time
so, to the first man i've loved, thank you
you have accomplished so much
and have so much more to accomplish
for my father's birthday

Today, I am eighteen
And I'm going to the park later but sitting in the dark right now is honestly the only thing I need
Eighteen
I can buy cigarettes and lighters - responsibility is everything and it's like all these chains are getting tighter
I'm eighteen
I can get ***** magazines
go into bars, but I can't drink
And if I break the law my adult record'll forever be unclean
Eighteen, im all grown up now- act professional, be completely unsusceptible to childish things like tears and tambourines
Eighteen-
and this feels just like a dream, like a surrealist painting come to life but nothing's changed at all
And I'm finding myself missing
Seventeen
Happy Birthday
Never let fear decide your future
Journey of dark night of your soul
It's where we learn who we are
Time won't make us forget but
We will grow and understand
Direction is more important than
Speed and love transcends time

I am
A jigsaw puzzle
Taken apart piece by piece
Put away and shaken
In the dark
I was fun once
Until I got old and you knew
All my ins and outs
Now I'm back
I'm my box
Never to be
Taken
Out
Middle of the day write!
What does this mean to you, leave me a comment!
I had a dream about him again
I guess you could call it a nightmare

I stopped letting him haunt my thoughts
But somehow he manages to creep into my dreams

He tells me I am worthless
That I will never be enough


For him
Or anyone

And I believe him
Which is the worst part

Because when I wake up
I can't shake the feeling

**That maybe he is right
I have many things to say
words to the wind
that no one
can hear
they’re only
sounds syllables letters
connected
without an order
confusion
madness
solitude
I’m an island
without landing
a boat without oars
...
I stare the horizon
and I wait

— The End —
