You are so precious—
like the tears I try to hide
when joy overflows
and my heart opens wide.

You are so precious—
like a rainbow in the sky,
when the sun breaks through
and the storm says goodbye.

You are so precious—
like sunshine’s gentle rays
warming frozen hearts
on cold winter days.

You are so precious—
like the tender gaze we share,
when words fall away
but our eyes still care.

You are so precious—
like the laughter of a child,
pure and bright,
glowing with a light so wild.

You are so precious—
like a kiss upon the brow,
where souls softly meet
and time forgets to bow.

You are so precious—
like the breath I take each day,
quiet, unseen,
yet keeping life in play.

My Thing

I thought I found My Thing
The one I'm the best at.
That girl walks in,
just at day one.
She's talented,
pretty, perfect,
better.

All my years of hard work
crushed.
Within seconds.
I'm not good enough.
Ever.
Am I?

Every time I think I found My Thing,
it gets taken away from me.

I know I'm selfish but
why
only for one time,
Can't I
be the best?

Sometimes things get too much
People get too loud
Lights get too bright
Emotions get too deep.
Even the clearest skies
Have stormy clouds across the globe.
The prettiest flowers, reaching for the sun
Will eventually droop and dull and die.
The bird's songs will quiet
When they leave for warmer, kinder temperatures.
Snowflakes will fall and blanket the ground
Hide the vibrancy of life with the deadly cold.
Green and blue and yellow and red and pink
Turns to white and gray
And black at night.
At night, the color of life is nonexistent,
Cold and dead and silent.
Heart beats and breath slows,
Quieter, white noise drowning out soft exhales.
Lack of life is peaceful, in a way.
Calm and quiet and cold,
Like the harsh beauty of winter.
Vibrancy is too distracting.

I’m crazy enough to like you
Even though you hate me
Hate is a strong word
Like the love I feel inside me

I try to stop the feeling
But it comes back stronger
I just want it to stop
I don't want it any longer

I know my feelings are a burden to you
So I try to hide it
This one sided love will stay as is
Because you can’t commit

Twilight blue rebounds behind
A great ridge of color
Calling for man
To stand before the night

From a distance
Quiet but restless
The brazen foliage always falls
Darkness follows every time

You'll never know
That you taught me
Why people say they are "falling for someone"
When they talk about attraction

All it took was a smile
So Genuine
So Honest
So Peaceful

To feel unexpected excitement
The happy drop of my stomach
Like I'm on a rollercoaster
Or jumping off a cliff

And I knew
That I'm falling
For You
