I am tired.
Not the mind kind of tired,
The bone kind of tired.
Not the eye kind of tired,
The blood flowing in my body,
kind of tired.
The kind of tired that originates,
Not in the world,
But in me.
The kind of tired,
The world will never be able
To get rid of,
For me.
Forgive me,
I need to take a nap.
This kind of tired is making me
Tired.
I am not always like this.
But the world,
Right now?
Reminds me the tiredness that I am capable of.
hey man, you ok?
Yeah. Just need to take a nap. I just woke up

It's only a google doc.
It's only a sheet of paper.
But it has your words on it.
Your words,
Meant for me.
I remember you.
But you aren't mine,
anymore.
we are going to change our lives, together.

I lay,
Soft head in soft pillow.
Floating.
Fabric against porcelain skin.
Heart spread wide open.
Floating.
Gentle stream filled with warmth,
The hush of one thousand voices
in my mind,
Silenced.
And even through the ceiling is dark,
I can feel the gentle warmth of the
Sun
above.
You know the feeling ;)

I held onto something I dreamt up.
and it was warm, alive even-
How could it be a lie?

Terrifying,
And standing upon the precipice.
Young hopefuls,
Staring into the faces of—
The things that boomed long ago.
The gunshots ring,
Like a terrifying drum beat.
Boom.
Life passes in flashes,
Yesterday long gone.
And tomorrow-
Already has its mind made up.

The angel gently floats
Into the stillness
Of a fervent prayer for peace.

In all of the places you were not.
In the blemished scars upon my face,
and among the stars in God's grace.
In ugliness and in beauty,
There is no greater hidden thing,
But truth.
I see you now.
And even though you are not a star,
And even though you are not a scar,
I see you now,
And I love you.
