Time flies fast,
like a little bird,
swinging trough the sky,
never looking back.

Time is forever,
but never do you realise in time
that the present is not present anymore,
but is now past.

Time melts in my hands,
slipping trough my fingers,
only remaining the everlasting trace of memory,
staining every little crevice of my hands.

But memory,
memory remains,
persistently present in your mind,
always haunting every little image,
and every little thought.
This is a class assessment I really enjoyed, based on the painting The Persistence Of Memory by Salvador Dalí.

And I’ll always be longing for something more,
Although to an outsider I should be content,
But nothing in this world matters to me,
For I am lost and it is too late to go back,
Maybe I’ll reminisce about the days I dared to dream,
Maybe I’ll look back and regret that one time,
But the wonders of today are the only things that I should focus on,
Even if the past blemishes my soul.

This mess of thoughts
too many to bare
Don't even look at me, if you're gonna stare!
See what I'm doing right for a change
I wish...
Told my mom its been like 10 years
Please let me grow
have faith, not fear
Sometimes I cry because I am judged SOOOO much
Get Up, wipe away your tears!
You started this Kristy, noone else to blame
This endless cycle that nobody can tame
not even meditation, medication
I know that's not right
2 appointments today, lets get this **** right!
Mom said start making a list
even my lists are manic or I lose them...
Wish me luck for I'm on the edge
If I can step back, I might get to LIVE

edited an old poem today, made it better I think

In this moment,
All swamp air and sunlight spotlight,
Sat atop an old oak log,
I wonder
Who listened
To the swansong sinking melodies
caught between opulence and open water.
Who will listen
To our deep-space golden records
lost between planet and pale blue dot.
Who is listening
To my hushed hums on an old oak log
that once fell and may have made a sound.

I wonder.

And I listen.
Is anybody listening?

Peace —
A feeling
A state of being
Of being in the present
With a deep sense of calm
That comes from — knowing
One I conflate with faith

Love is a strong emotion, so is hate!
That’s why it can be hard to find in between

I want to find “in between” with you
Let’s get together, make some food!

Walk, talk, be goofy and spontaneous like us!
When we were together it was toxic
But it’s been a LONG time and I think we have both grown

Let’s leave the past in the past
Start new and see ...
What our friendship could really be!!!

The future
What will it hold
Will it be what everyone is told

Of a future so bright
It’s what we wish for on a stormy night

Of a handsome husband or beautiful wife
Of kids
Oh, shall we live
In a future so bright

Or will it be what keeps us up at night
Living all alone
No one to call our own
What gloomy future might we own

No cell phone
No kids
Nor will to live

No friends
We’ll be alone in the end

But the future will come
And the past will be
The only thing we can change
Is Today and me
Remember to live and appreciate the present moment.

I saw you through the looking glass
You’re always so beautiful
Even when the skies weep from above

You’re the spirit that roams my dreams
Only when I reach you
Do I become complete

Be yourself, never hide
Be brave,
Even when the world tears itself apart
I loved you then,
And I love you now
Til this heart runs its last beat
I’ll love you until the end of time
