pushed through walls I thought I knew,
until they flew.

smoked flower and drank alcohol,
until I lost it all.

sang songs and danced to music,
until I got sick.

kept it locked up in my head,
until the words were said.
She was a book, not a girl
but her thoughts whirled.

Round and round like a ferris wheel,
never forgotten, but never real.

Falling and falling from the clouds,
then she crashed, screaming loud.

“Are you okay?” I say to her,
but she says nothing, not a word.

I turn her over, look for her face,
but see nothing but a book in its place.

I turn her pages, one by one,
until all the pages come undone.

She opens her eyes and looks at me,
then says, “I’m finally free.”
Freedom is free
and romance is rose.

Hardships will release
and life can be cozy.

Just hold onto hope
and keep on breathing.

You will see
each day is worth living.

Breathe calmly,
as best you can.

Don’t forget
the lay of the land.

Remember your friends…
your family too.

And always think of
the little you.

he’s always there,
he’s never fair…

he’s itching to play
truth or dare…

but beware
of his spiral stare,
because his game
leads nowhere.

quiet down,
don’t make a sound

our time is up
so fill my cup

our time again
before it ends

mind’s on the mend
so don’t pretend

one foot in the realm,
one hand holds on tight.

heart’s at the helm,
gut’s in flight or fright

sun will shine,
rain will fall

shady
through it all

lights are bright
fights are kind
out of sight yet in my mind
