Nobody sees everything;
Some are blinded by the darkness
While others are blinded by the light.

How can I build you up?
How can I break you down?
How can I make you see
That you are safe and sound
With me

My 400th poem
Sleep

At this point in life, I don't really care
whether I'm wrong or right.
I'll be whoever, whatever I have to be.
As long as I can fall asleep at night.

I don't see how it could get better.
But I don't see how it could be worse either.
Am I trying too hard or not enough?
What if it's both?
What if all the answers
are in the space between?
We always say there's 2 sides to every story. What if the truth is in the middle?

I may not be going anywhere fast.
But you can bet wherever I go, I won't be last. Because life is not a race; There's no shame with living life at your own pace.
It doesn't matter if you don't move out,
get married, or have a kid until you're 32.
You still have time to make the most of the time you have with the people you love
who love you too.

I can't stand being alone.
So, to cope, I remind myself
That sometimes,
there are some things you have to do alone.

If the rain fell like my tears,
I wonder if I would ever
See the sun, the sky, the moon again.
