I write
Both to think more
And not to think

I paint
Both to illustrate my feelings
And to hide from them under layers of color

I walk
Both get far from my problems
And to make them clearer in my head

And I smile
Both to fake my happiness
And to make me more happy

I want to cry
But instead I write poems
And sob through them
I still cry a bunch though

There's a kangaroo in your closet!

What?

There's a kangaroo in your closet!

No...there isn't

It is, trust me it's there!

I know what's in my closet, what you're doing isn't fair

He's crying out for help, he's there, he's there!

I will not doubt myself
I saw there was nothing to be seen

But please...

Why do you care?

Because I made a mess in there...

I see
Please go far far away from me
I don't know if this makes sense, but it's about Gaslighting and how I wish I could respond to it.

The kangaroo from a couple poems ago---wasnt a kangaroo but a man who blamed it on the kangaroo. I believed him, but I've learned my lesson.

It's 11:11
I don't know what to wish for
So many things I want
But only 60 seconds to say them all

Anyways
I know they'll only be in vain

It's 11:11
And honestly
I'm really done with today
with yesterday
And tomorrow

It's 11:11
I don't know what to feel

You’re the light
as I walk through darkness
you’re my shelter
when the storms filled the heavens
you’re my strength
as my soul wilted away
you’re my words
when my pen no longer bleeds
you’re my love
when the world turns against me
I want you to know that
I  want to be all of these things
for you today and forever.

I dont believe
I’ve ever seen someone
More poetic than you

And yet,
You were holding
your breath.
How selfish are you?

Baby please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please
Breathe.

Tired of fallen dreams
That keeps on falling apart.
Perhaps, I wasn’t born
To  dreamt my dreams.

What could this mean?
I’m so ******* tired
In my dreams.
