I went back to the places once traveled through years ago
they smiled when they saw me
thats a good start

today i turn 36 years old here  
i really just want 36 more
made it past jesus at least
but my father didn’t carpent
but carpets he brought brought on his back
i didn’t do anything really

3rd person story glory glares like novellas
but take it as your own
you’ll blur out your empty spaces
and stick out in just the right way
i answer phones all day so as to not answer my own

i really like want 36 more
ill do better
i promise

Instructions on how to love a girl with anxiety
Know that she is fragile, like glass
her fragility produces beauty like no other
she is fragile like a bubble
ready to float away, aiming to burst any second
But don't let her know that
she is also strong
she might cry but she is not weak
she might scream but she is not crazy
loses her breath but she sure knows what it means to be alive
When she loves, it's like magic
It is the taste of music
the sound of touch
rivers flowing
she is divine
your love is not her cure
She is not your patient
You are meant to fix her
That's what you will think
But you will not carpent her
She cannot be fixed
And she knows that
Yet she still loves
and lets you love her
she deserves love
she doesn't know that yet
This poem was inspired by a poem I saw on my timeline titled "how girls with anxiety love".
(the poem is still in works)

If I can be a
tree what kind of a tree do
I want to be I can be as useful as a
coconut tree an orange tree a banana
tree have some light refreshments at the
pant-tree perhaps join the army and be in
the infant-tree or I can study dentist-tree
carpent-tree I can paint be an artist-tree
but oh I guess you know all I want
to be is free to write and be
a poet-tree
