We fear the things we cannot see,

Or things we think we hear,

A moment though of clarity,

Shows all we fear, is fear.
I live in pain, for that I am grateful. I recently realized that life isn't the desires we make in our heads or the dreams we want to achieve. Instead, it is a never ending cycle of bits of happiness replacing the pain everlasting pain for just a short while. As much it is necccessary to rejoice everyday for the small acconplishments, it's also very necessary to acknowledge pain. Pain forces us to grow up and accept life and struggle. We will never live  in a fairy tale where everything goes according according to plan and there's a happy ever after, reality is the we can only hope and that is okay.

I just hope that in whatever place you're in, you're trying. As much as I would love to tell you that happiness is all that matters, the truth is happiness is like a rainbow, it's there when it is necessary. All we can do is try and be our best selves even through this atrocious thing we call life. We will get there, we all will.
this is not a poem. its a letter.

What do you see?
The white mounds over the trees and over the ground, the night skye, and a friend watching my own intimate experience with Mother Earth

What do you hear?
The wind as is runs through the trees and the hum of the generator that sits behind me

What do you smell?
The smoke from the cigarettes that I turned to for comfort

What do I taste?
The chill from the snow and the bitter taste of tobacco that somewhat reminds me of bad coffee

And now, what do I feel?*
The tiny crystals that greet my face with an arctic hug, the gusts that push against me

And finally,
I feel bliss

Love can have so much fullness, but it can also be an empty space
It can be so unforgetable, and it can also leave without a trace
It can make you feel unreal, and you could feel so true
There are times you feel so happy, and there are those where you feel all blue
Love can be so meaningful, but it can also make no sense
Sometimes it’d be boring, sometimes it’d be too intense
Love could be all answers, as well as it could be a question
You can be left in ecstasy, but it can also leave you in depression
You could end in Heaven, or you could feel in Hell
It can make you speechful, or it can trap you in shell
Love ca make you feel so safe, but it can also make you scared
Everybody could be ready, bot nobody could be prepared
is all about
making sense
out of all
these

Does it matter?
If I stay or go..
Is my presence even noticed?
Does it make a difference
if I'm here or gone
Will you cry
if I'm lost?
Or will I slip away unnoticed
Like I always am
When I'm around you...
Sometimes I don't have any common ground or any cents, I'm just a porcelain doll in a haunted house

Confined space
Broken vase
Heart break
Lost mind
Thin rhyme
Out of line
No sense
Connecting dots
Think outside the box

he's a stranger
I'm in danger
surely, it makes sense
but love never does
