You were a classic.
Like a book, I could read you over
and over again, asking you for more stories.
And sometimes they'd be the same, but
each time I'd learn something new, a
different theme, another legacy in
my mind. And like a legend, your
grand tales will be remembered,
shared, and kept worthy of
an insightful story to be
handed down to every
generation, each
to remember
you as a
classic.
For those who have a classic in their life

To a dreamer,
life is a dream.
To a writer,
the world is a writing.
To a lover,
their love is everything.

My mind recieves mores code
Messages most don't know
Channeling things to me
Told me I'm gone but no
Information I must take slow
Is anyone capable of listening?

Look at those little birds,
talking about their day,
in a language a lot can't understand,
words between the lines,
but they can't really listen,
because they're all talking at once.
And the telephone line that they sat upon
made me think about us,
suspended by a man-made media,
all talking at once, all trying to say something,
but no one hears, because we all talk at once,
and don't tend to listen.
Just something my mom said on the way home from school, and it had me thinking about that imagery

Through the Poet's eye,
the world is a Poem.

Sorry, I don't know who wrote that, but I like it

Calm my heart
And steady these hands
Grant peace among my distress
As the evening moon
Cools desert sands
Ease my frustration
As I rely heavily on faith
I trust in your promises
As droughts await your rain

I am a ghost,
one that the closest people
can see straight through.
But I'll deflect them,
transmute into someone else,
that way they won't know.
This is the part of me that wants to take the easy way. It can be scary to think that someone may know what goes through your head. But to not tell them and avoid the truth would be to put on a mask

The truth is: I can't cut ties with the silence.
It will always be there.
My mind will always be tied
to the side that's easier.
But I've found a way to fight it.
