a vast head of stars
millions of lightyears away
is enough to separate the
real you from me
allowing me to only view
you from a distance
and leave me to wonder
what it's really like
in that mind of yours

the feeling that we
are on different planets
is enough to show me that
the theory of you
is more difficult to understand
than I had been taught in school

...but that doesn't mean I won't try

z.m.

pretend to be a different you
the one that others want to view
pretend and lie
but never sigh
because the better you
is the one they'd choose

do not complain or say a word
because your voice will not be heard
you'll want to cry
but you must try
to hold it in
and show a grin

z.m.

you are the light in which the world needs
a kind soul who refuses to see anything
other than the beauty of others
and revel in the bright aura of them

z.m.

I think to hard...
I overthink

                  


                                 ­                                                  See, I'm doing it again.

                                                                                                                    z.m.

wash away my sin
in a blanket of cold water
and submerge me in a river
to be made whole again

renew my broken thoughts
and show me the worth of
the world
I long to leave

z.m.

lead me to
my first home

back to where
things were simple

and I made the
best memories.

how I wish to find myself
enwrapped in the euphonious
resonance of a symphony
to allow the sweet sounds to encompass
their harmonies around my hand
and guide it into yours

z.m.
