what will we do
without this site
where i might have learned to speak
for the first time
i might have found people to live for
stay alive so i could message them back
late at night
some of us walk on the border
our steps wavering;
i tried to decide whether to stay or
go
you could say hello poetry walks a border too
stay
or go
you have kept me safe
people of hello poetry
you have kept me afloat;
for that i only wish i could pay you back
(this time, literally)
i wish that my words were worth something
because we need this site
now more than ever
for whatever reason
we have to stay.

hello,
i never screamed
when i got here
hello,
i didn't say
when i wrote my first poem here
i was sad and mean and grieving
hello,
you all
golden people
said to my silence
you smiled.

i come back here
every day and always
i don't even know why, anymore
everything is black and white and kind
and beautiful and okay
it's become habitual, i suppose
i don't want to imagine the end
the finality
dust settling
i don't want to be here to see it
i would never ask to know
if hp is as important to you
as it is to me
i think we all know, already and definitely
and infinitely.
i think we already know
this
hurrah
is not final
i want to say i'm here to stay
to keep on reading
your glorious words
and thoughts
and everythings
your happiness and heartbreak
i want eliot york
and you and you and everyone
to know
we'll get past this

My jar full of savings
Now burns with purpose
As, futile, I try press the notes through the screen
My heart full with fear
Now beats, strong and sure
I know what I must do protect this dream
This site full of memories
Might fade to night
And I cannot sit by and wait for day
For all the tears cried
For all the blood spilt
For all the friends gathered and lost the way
For solace, for safety
For sunshine and rain
For humanly beauty
For strength in the pain
For words turned to paintings
For words from the heart
For dark days and dark minds
For friends seas apart
