you hold on so tightly that I suffocate
when I find the courage to escape
you delineate and debate
why can't enough be enough?
why not be happy with what we had?
we've been through thin and tough
we've experienced life's worst and survived
but sometimes love isn't enough
I've been bursting at the seams, deprived
maybe my happiness is selfish and weak
I could be undeserving of joy again
but I won't know unless I leave and seek
so please, I beg you, let me go
it'll hurt like hell for a while
but I know with time we will both grow
leaving a happy life of friendship and incompatibility after a decade feels impossible when one person is perfectly content, even when the other is perfectly miserable.

37 sleepless hours,
Felt like a  mistake.
Competition over,
Tests all taken.
But the memories are just beginning.
The room goes dark,
100’s of DECA kids go silent.
The hypnotist begins to talk.
Slow, methodical rhythm.
All care disappears.
The stress of competition is gone.
Seeming to melt off my body.
Eyes become heavy,
Heavier.
Bodies become heavy,
Heavier.
And somehow I'm asleep.
Leaning against you now.
If I only knew then all I know now.
The trauma that would come from this conference
I would have made it 38 hours
Or even 40 without sleep.

I went from do-rags and irrelevant,

Clouds in the sky
For a most the mystery eye
Look inside the eye
What will you find?
Death? Deca? Hatred?
Or you be a lucky and find love
Will you see the dove?
Or shall you find the vulture?
Choose thy path and please tell me so...
NAJSMISLENIJE UZIVANJE

More, priroda
miris ostrva
dolazak brodova
kafica jutarnja
mala pekara
makovnjaca najbolja
istrazivanje uvala
peskovita podloga
plivanje talasa
putanja poznata
sunce oporavlja
glad poziva
let lastavica
ukus liganja
istorija sireva
usluga pricljiva
zalasci sa koktelima
ribari sa srdelama
deca sa skoljkama
vecernja desavanja
autan pre spavanja
jutro novih secanja.
Hoces li sa mnom?
Pitanje pre polaska
destinacija poznata
sama sam
molim bez perverzija
prijateljska osnova
bice dobra recenzija
u to sam sigurna
20 jun vreme polaska
mozda dan gore-dole
zbog brodova
obavestenja bice istaknuta
Javi!
Ne bih da gnjavim
Samo bih da zelim
i nesto lepo podelim :)
