I can't tell you why
I just don't feel like talking
Just be here for me.
Step 1: Smile.
Step 2: Forget why.
Step 3: Keep your voice steady
when your soul is not.
Step 4: Pretend it’s fine.
(Everyone else is.)

Step 5: Fold your feelings
into paper birds.
Set them loose.
Watch them burn mid-air.
Clap softly.
Repeat.

There is no final step.
You just keep going
until you don’t know
what breaking feels like anymore.
I wrote this haiku
Just to prove a point in words:
No one reads these days.
my most toxic trait is thinking

     everything will work out.


haven't died yet

     must be doing something right or

getting very lucky.
"I love you"

I didn't realize those words

Could also be used 

As a goodbye
There is no logic in your madness, there is no logic in your sadness you don't gain a single thing from misery take it from me.
She was driving through the woods, making a regret, never looking back, to the one she wanted to forget, but she can’t move on, no not yet, her heart is broke, but her mind is set, tryna get rid of the memories they kept, eyes are getting blurry, cause she’s so upset, tears down her cheek, alone once again, driving off to where this all began, No this is not the end no not yet Living on the edge making that still making that regret.
