I WANT:
to visit history musems
and
make our own.
i want to take walks
down old beaten paths,
and see sunsets in unfamiliar places
I WANT:
to
breathe in your sigh
while looking at the harvest moon,
hold your weary face in the morning
and murmur,
"everything will be alright"
I WANT:
to transcend my happiness
into
your chest
I WANT:
to believe that
cold winter nights
aren't just the memories
only you love,
I WANT:
what we *
aren't

DO NOT
be
afraid
to wear your heart

on your sleeve

come let's wear ours
together

And live
the rest of our days
smiling

i love to think about my future or even so my past although it has been altered with bad things such as drugs and alcohol. i have lost a lot of memories of what used to be and i wish i could take them back. i have a lot of plans for my life, but there's always something in the way of it. i don't exactly know what that something is, but i do know that it is in me. when i say "in me" that can me a lot of different things. i don't know. i'm 16 and i haven't even kissed a boy. i embarrass myself a lot and oh lord this turned sad again.
wow
im really a mess
That's life

Up
All
Night

Wasting away inside

Deep
Deep
Sigh

Wanting to run and hide

Worlds
Collide

As far as I can find

They
All
Lied

At least I even tried

But nothing seems right

'Cause I'm

Up
All
Night.

     Lord, help my unbelief
     Lord, help me to see
The way You're holding me
     Lord, take away my pride
     Lord, please use my life
To be Your shining light.

     God, I'm trying to be
     Just what you want of me
But it's Your grace I need
     God, I'm striving so hard
     To stop worrying, and start
Letting You be who You are.

     Father, I want to come home
     Father, yes, I know
You'll never leave me on my own
     Father, help me understand
     That Your great plan
Has meaning, and will firmly stand.
Written in church this morning on the buletin.
I write from the bowels of Wish I Could Sleep
Which borders the swamp of Too Tall
Which was named for the bed that was somehow too short
Where the Sleeper couldn't stretch out at all.

I call, at this very late hour, to say
That tomorrow I'd better not forget
The car's in the shop, the WiFi's down,
And though my new book wasn't great

I can write without car and internet, too
I am capable of this
But if anyone from Luxury calls
Just tell them to talk to the fist!
I'm fine.

Sighing in the wind;
Million voices, yet silent
Lonely, like us all.
Inspired by the majestic big banyan tree I pass by every day

Sigh
I can feel the emptiness killing me inside
Chalsey Wilder Jul 2014
Wake me up before I die
Slap my face before I lie
When will you ever see
I could never be what you want me to be
Look through your own eyes
Seek through your dead lies
Say your last goodbyes
When you wake me before I die
And for the very last time tell me that you love me as I sigh my last breath of life

She looks out the window
At the thick sheen of ice
That covers the road.
People huddle and shuffle
In great huffs of warm breath
As they try to move on in their lives.
They try to ignore their wobbly legs
And shifty, slidey, slippery feet
On patch after patch of ice.
They've got great things to do
And many places to be,
So they battle the weather
That is set to defeat them.
But she sits amongst pillows
With fuzzy blankets and cocoa,
Content to let the world go on outside.
She'll just recline at the window
Reading her poems with satiated sighs.
