I’ve always thought that the human mind is beautiful
The way we feel, so complex, unique
Emotions of passion, lust and desire
To be able to dance, dream
Laugh, cry
Smoke, ****.

And trust.

To be completely open and vulnerable around another human being
Who in less than ten words can completely crush your spirit.

When you think about it
It really is phenomenal.


But the problem with happiness is
Although to some it comes easy
To others, it’s a little more difficult.




the human mind is ugly
jealousy, anger
obsession, hate
heartbreak
how one can be so overwhelmed
and weighted down
with something as scary as their own emotions
all within the mind of their own
something we like to think we have control over
but in reality is so convoluted, dangerous
and at any second can just

snap.




it's funny
how one day you can feel so strong

yet the next -








Was I ever so wrong to think that
in the end
in the bigger picture
it was just me and you.
