Everything just feels so broken. I brush yesterday's dust off my shoulders, But for what? If I let the dust settle let the dust gather I will have a blanket Made of ashes I couldn't afford. Would I be warm? If I stood under an umbrella made out of sunshine What would happen? Would the rays destroy me like kryptonite does superman? I don't think so. My friends wouldn't let that happen. They nurture my roots Until I flower And they spread my petals across an atlas So the whole world knows that love does not have to smell Like pickles. And I could never thank them enough for making everything a little bit less Broken.

My heart is a quilt.

I asked my girlfriend for 8 completely random words to tie together in a poem. This is the outcome of that. It's kind of corny, but **** it. I'm corny.
