Colm
The universe puts her headphones on
And plays her favorite track
The raindrops in the meadow burst
And soak the earth
And with her feet up on the world
She smiles from ear to ear
And plays it back
What songs does the universe listen to? Is there a more beautiful sound than the rain falling in the secluded meadow. Truthfully, I don't know. But I do love the sound of these words as they roll off the tongue. YUPP!

So close
Suffocating
People around
Surrounding me
Yet here I am
Standing still
While others
Pass me by

Left behind
Unrecognized
Forgotten
So many people
Yet I'm still
Very much
Alone
I find myself around many people while I am still feeling lost and alone.

She looks like heaven
And tastes like hell

Seize the pain
Grasp reality
Escape madness
Impossible task
Infinitely insane

The poetry isn’t in all these words —
It’s in knowing I survived them.
Holy smokes! Thank you everyone for all of the support! I don’t come here too often so I did not expect this; what a beautiful surprise ♥️

It's okay...
It's alright...
sleep my child
you'll be just fine...
just close your eyes
and sleep my child
escape the pain
for just a little while
i know its hard-
hard to believe
that its okay
to fall asleep
i know you're scared
that if you close your eyes
it'll be your fault
when someone dies
but you're not the reason
it wasn't your fault
but you can't keep them alive
with water and salt
so sleep my child
i'll hold you near
things will get better...
just trust me my dear
how i imagne someone who cared about me would talk to me

backs against the roof
heads tilted, eye to eye
sun down, night skies
there's beauty in you
the endless kind
