At times I wish my eyes were a camera Because the things I see are too beautiful not to capture. The smiles of those around, So carefree you'll get infected. The colors of flora when the rain has departed And the rain had covered the green in droplets- Droplets that reflect the small rays of sun coming back. The messily ethereal pond side, Where algae and moss and tadpoles and stones Perfectly fill in the space. The neighborhood cat laying on the soft grass Of the family who just redid their lawn. Her soft paws stretched out So that she could bathe in every inch of sunlight. The sunset you see on the last day of summer vacation, The exact image of the word twilight. However, the portrait will never be caught on phone, For the colors seem to dull and the sun decides to shy away. I realize such magnificent depictions cannot and should not Be captured. Things so ephemeral should last their short time, In the eyes, in person. It'd be rude to steal their moment in a photograph, So, I subside to having memories. At this time, I'm glad my eyes Aren't a camera, But binoculars instead.

It's ok #5
silky soft lemon honey under my tip tapping feet, jaywalking like a rebel and singing off beat. **** these are the days, the darling, feather collecting, breathing in that melody of what your all telling me. these are the days biyatch! setting fires in the street , living just for that beat, scars on my feet, oh yeah baby hope these days never end. ( just don't consider the creeping feeling of time ticking, stealing all the youth all the time the beauty of life just take some flakka to forget that your soon going to die why w h y W H Y?) oh yeah hon these are the days getting down with those gays living life just for praise, yeah we'll live never sleep feel like the wind run until you can't feel your legs skip math class, **** in the bathroom, watching your laugh. Oh god I hope to hell this never ends oh sugar this **** aint gonna end! (ignore those little whispers in your head don't let your eyes betray you or you may end up dead) **** these days are never gonna end when we're screaming in the halls about broken amends. cherry stained fingertips, sour candy, lovely lips. yeah thease are the days living just for the plays drinking 1600 grams of caffeine a second. we smoke that grass on the stairs, getting 16 cigarette burns and trying to cut each others hair. and all the dead cells we seemingly earn is another lesson we refuse to learn. oh baby these are the days that we live forever burning paper men like witches baby these are the days!! (oh please just forget about those crying nights, when I hit you with the belt. smokeing our lungs out, oh this ******* H U R T S. you havent escaped this yet with every breath of nigotine 22 seconds disspear) yeah lets live forever darling, together on this rooftop loving, smootching with the vynl playing, speeding high as god down the abandoned freeway givin society zero leeway. let's be together and i'll never leave you behind, sneaking down the fire escape and running far far away, from this old ***** tonky town to a forest by the sea, broken quartz in the ground and spiders cobwebs tumble down, loving all alone together just you and I. sleeping in flower fields and staring at the sky. (until we're hunted down by blue men with guns, shot like a deer burned at the stake. for freedom is punishable by death, stay afraid and hollow until you have literally nothing left, but the free realise of death) we're gonna live forever and never be alone. dewdrops on my eyelids, stained glass on your toes. stay with me please don't be scared there's nothing looming over our sweet heads together we can take on the nothing we face, together face to face. and no matter how bleak the world seems to get lets live in the moment and love our regrets, don't think just live! I love you (I love you)

Adore the days and live in the moment Be grateful for the ones who are still by your side Because tomorrows are never promised! Like withered leaves we will also fall down someday But don't let your guard down easily, just seize the day and cherish the very moment.

Never promised!
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

“The Future”
I spent one day in tomorrow Before my one day in today, And I let tomorrow borrow What I was feeling yesterday. I spent one day in tomorrow, Spent it with worry and regret. I had let tomorrow borrow, Past fears that hadn’t happened yet. I spent one day in tomorrow— A day that was a total waste. One I let tomorrow borrow With countless regrets to retrace. I spent one day in tomorrow And found that that’s no way to live. I had let tomorrow borrow The only day I had to give.

Spent One Day In Tomorrow
Thinking all day about things that won't happen Is a hobby you should avoid, else your mood will surely dampen But what can you possibly do when you think back to those days When life was so much better, even without that purple haze It's okay to reminisce, but too much of it leads to brooding Living in your world of dreams is unhealthy, even though it's soothing When things are bad I like to go down memory lane And re live past memories while trying to bury the pain But burying the pain only strengthens its roots No point in growing an apple tree if you can't reap its fruits This dream like state of mine has made me somewhat curious The questions are legit, yet my answers make me furious I'm at a conflict with myself and I don't know which one's right The dreams never seem to stop and I'm not talking about the ones at night Would you give anything to go back in the past, to save that relationship that was never meant to last? And even though you know you can never really change You'd make that empty promise to have your life neatly arranged These dreams are the result of the hearts numerous desires And so we avoid the truth and grow an affinity for the liars As humans we need some sort of goal to be able to mentally function Because only thinking without doing could lead to self destruction If you think too much about your past you're bound to get lost The present goes to waste and the future is the cost What will happen over time is not fully in your hand Some call it the Butterfly Effect and some call it God's Plan I could say things will get better, and you could say the same thing But to see that truly happen, you must be your own King

Days will come and days will go. Days become months. Months will come and months will go, Months become years. Years will come and years will go, You become old. Death will come and life will end. Now, what did you do with all those days?

-All those days-
At 15 The trees have only lost their leaves 15 time There have only been 15 first snow falls All we want do to at this age is grow up But why are we in such a rush Slow down Watch the leaves change colors Lay outside and watch the sunset Wait around for the first star to make its appearance Love someone Live in the moment Stop rushing Because once the day is gone, you can't get it back
