Life is worth leading,
If one could only try.
The fears of a leftover age,
Amidst whats gone by.
This the turn of the page moves forward,
And I in the words being read.
Does this reveal the soul of me?
Has my poker face shown its tell?
Nothing is for certain,
Only change keeps its course.
Body aching
Eyes dark and drooping
So much writing, thinking
To do.
The sky grows darker out my window
You say you worry, because you still obviously care.

The truth of it all
Is that despite my convincing, my deep loving
Because when I invest, I invest my hardest
I like me better
Without you underneath me.

But we acknowledge there is tension
We text drunkenly at times
We miss and wish we could kiss
Away the marks we left behind.

But a new moment here
A new experience there
I should really drag myself out for that run.

Chicago moves and booms
With everything happening so fast
So intensely
I keep up, sleeping so little so little
But you wanna lecture me and say
That you still care baby.

Lets do indeed,
Toast to us and all the things
We could never be
Thank you for teaching me
And making me a better me
In the end,
With your romantic exit.

But I love you, I do
And my heart has a slight cut
On the right tip
From where you supported
Listened
Held me when I was lost
But in the end
I'm the only one who can free me
From this beautiful, white picket fenced
Bird cage.
Saturday night
I put on my best work mode face
My body urging me to take it easy
You pour cocktails from your

I can't even create the word to follow "your"
My mind so over it all.
I throw back the hood around my face
Cocooned in thought, creativity, freedom
Green leaves distracting me
This bottled smoothie tastes like powdered bananas
Undulating the pixie dust
I convinced myself
Surrounded you and I.

I have such intense moments of being so sick of myself.

But I breathe in heavily and with lightness
And forget to breathe out
But a step at a time.

I would I could leave my house
Go for an innocent walk
My ear buds in my ears
Taking in the universe
But theres so much darkness
For a girl to walk into alone, I slightly think

But what can we learn by just staring at technological screens?
