The things you don't want to talk about
The things that hurt you cause suffering
Those pains make you stronger, better
Dealing with those cluttered emotions
A pondering mind makes it worse
Confrontation minimizes pent up anxiety
Made up scenarios that never happen
Things feel real compared to reality
Staying calm levels it out keeping peace
Acting on that frustration cause chaos
Disconnected from uncomfortable situations
Know your worth trust your value
Others disagree don't lower yourself
Criticism makes you better not setttle

four hours between then and now
do you know, i never quite knew
the day you were born
i ask you always, in the times we setttle

say, what is it you want from us
a future in which
i provide you with purpose
to me, perhaps something dear

we talk and i never quite
catch a glimpse of you,
though rarely, you dance
shimmering in the same lights
i once found something akin
to an unfathomable beauty
so clear,
im mistaken, it might be alive

a part of you sits so close to my heart
along the outlines, such parameters
pulling and pushing, betwixt
a life we could
a life we will never
