the dream was sweet, but it has ended. and now I will not suffer this failure and rejection to thicken into a nightmare I will wake up. and the day will be brighter, lit by candles held in vigil by those whose arms are held open to thaw me against warm hearts. I will leave the cozy darkness of night the blindness of the eve to venture bravely into the briskness of the morning, wiping dew from the window and embracing whatever storms the new day should bring, sheltered by umbrellas held by those who care.

morning
i've invited her to a dark place which is called my mind and she stayed with me i've taken her to a rushing river which is called my tears and she swam in deep i've walked her through an eggshells path which is called my traumas and she held me tight i don't even feel like i need to make her stay cause she will

Heave ** Your cry astounds Flummoxing your enemies ashore Debonaire you brandish pistol and sword Cutting down resistant scallywags Thy treasure shall be mine! You dash haphazardly between slashes Excitement and *** course through Fueling you to victory Imposing is thy stance! Booted foot on stack of cannon ***** Actioned-packed adventure As you reave and raid the seas Your adventure keeps me alert But my ship's an iron beast of land I think of daring combat And your exploits give me hope I load my rifle in hot anticipation Prepared to write my own adventure The giant steel hatch lowers And hot iron rips through me My adventure ends prematurely My *** is without excitement and masks pain A hospital bed now serves as my galleon Your book by my bedside, untouched

the gauntlet is thrown down, eyes focused on the field the weight of expectation hangs, my mind begins to reel Your hesitation is palpable Muscles tensed, nerves singing, hands shaking will you take the chance and fight, rage against the dark above, the one that lays on your mind, extinguishing the light? your decision, our future, all intertwined and all I can do is sit and wait and slowly lose my mind

your depression is the weight I carry
