Close your eyes and jump. Flying and falling are twins when ground is absent.

Haiku on courage.
One time when I was seven I called the police because I was home alone for too long. A boy was standing over your bed, I panicked and froze. When we dropped him in he sank to the bottom and clawed against the water for air. I sat alone in the apartment rubbing crayons against crayons. You were asleep and he reached out to touch you and I yelled. I caught my first pet on a fishing trip with my dad. I think this was the first time I ever noticed how silence can attack you. When you woke up he was gone and I was crying. I hooked a wriggling earthworm and cast out the line. The woman who answered the phone said, 911: What is your emergency? When I was five my mom saw a ghost in my room. When I pulled the line out of the water a small turtle had the end of my worm. My parents came home as I hung up the phone. She said, I was just coming in to check on you and there it was. I took him home and put him in a plastic Tupperware container full of water.

Memories in a Round
I realize how lonely I am. And alcohol and ****** pleasures become my best friend. I wonder when all of it will end. I wonder will I see the sun (son) again. Cuz everything is so dark and disgusting. It keeps me wondering. I wonder. Will I live a full life. Or throw my life away tonight. I don't what I'll do tonight. Cruising around the city will do right. I wonder how this affects my relationships. Torment in my head. I wonder. If I will ever get out in time. I keep lookin behind. I wonder if I'm too distracted. Am I too cocky? Life. I wonder am I living right. It's hard to believe in it. God I need u. This music will help. Details, more details. I wonder how long I'll continue to wear this disguise.
