Justice exists in the world
but it can't be everywhere
for everyone
all of the time
The idea that good things
happen to bad people and
bad things happen to good people
is a mistake
There is only good
bad
and people doing what they can
with what they find in front of them
Yes, it's beautiful
and it's okay that it doesn't mean anything to you.

promise me now
you'll keep you're eyes closed
when the light starts to shine
all my flaws start to show

"ignorance is bliss"
no wise man has failed to mention
enlightened second-hand, suggested
neglect leads to perfection

a smile that lights the room
a kiss to send me on my way
the promises you'll break tomorrow
the lies you tell today.

two of the worlds loneliest people
sitting side-by-side on the train
seeing each other every day on the way to work
never knowing the other feels exactly the same
all it takes is a smile, or a wave
people will reciprocate!
hoping for someone to reach out a hand
to grab life by the throat and shake it awake
the feelings they share that they're too scared to show
the feelings we all have that nobody knows.

Your words within me
attached by needle and thread
stitched into my being
constantly crashing in my head
