wild dancing of palms,
rigmarole of rain goes on,
water flows gurgling!
Picked last to join teams
No athletics in my genes
I exercise a different muscle
Words my ever present hustle
Even if I don't make nada
And I can't afford no Prada
I'll be rich in other ways
Stay lifted while I blaze
A trail only few can follow
Better catch me on the morrow
Cuz today's already past
And the future comes up fast
Wide awake to take the chance
Opportunity a dance
Stay nimble on my feet
Keep it moving to the beat
Locks swaying as I go
Cuz I gotta keep the flow
No time to take a break
In the rear view all the fake
People trying to take me down
Just wanna watch me drown
But I got a mean back stroke
I'm no longer gonna choke

i have been in this boat before
just going with the flow
not contemplating the course ahead
blissfully swaying with you

then the stream rocks a little louder
and we, exhilarated by its motion
invite its all consuming power
raging with the rivers of passion

we cascade with the water
not realizing we've reached the edge
and we fall.... deep and hard
along the way you let go of my hand

i wake in the dark, cold and alone
shimmer of light overhead
blurred by my tears
heartbroken I claw myself out;
out of this well of despair

There were seven
Together they felt blessed
Feeling as if in heaven
Until one of them left

Then there were six
Trying to live without one
One less to mix
Then another was gone

Then there were five
Wondering why others leave
And the rest cry
Another left, the others grieve

Then there were four
Dwindling right here
Waiting for more
As another shall disappear

Then there were three
Waiting for another to go
To be released and free
As more goes into the flow

Then there were two
Trying to understand
Who is next to say adieu
Now one is left to stand

Then there was one
Taking in the loneliness
Waiting for life to be done
And last they go into the darkness

Light pollution
Plus my ****** camera
Means you cant see the sight i'm seeing
Yet,
It also means the sight i'm seeing isn't all that it could be
I just want to StarGaze

Yet,
Sitting here,
Staring at the stars,
It reminds me of how lonely and sad I really am.
No one to hold-
No being held-
And if it happens-its short lived-and in the end-what does it mean?!?
I want it to be something its not
its because i'm prone to rush into things
and then...
...then, its just sad.
Because while hes being a normal person
I'm off on some spaceship
Willing?
Willing myself to believe
Believe in what isn't
Being extra and non-terrestrial
Making something out of nothing
-well not much-
And debating with myself in my head
I let my wants and realities **** each other


Now I float
No more *overthinking
No more over-hoping
Just going with the *flow, until I float upon some foreign and beautiful shore
Its about a boy. I think i care too much, like him too much for the amount of time we've known each other.....so im putting a cap on my feelings. Im being irrational. Dont tell me to tell him how i feel, itll just scare him away.
