I turned around
and suddenly
the sky
was effortlessly
blue
They say that every road leads somewhere
And
To just keep going.
But I want nothing more than to lie down on the pale asphalt
And stare at the stars
Forever,
Because I can’t possibly believe that any moment,
Any other moment,
Big or small,
Could be any better
Than this.
When I was little
my mama
told me
not to move,
to stay
at the same spot

She told me
I must stay still
if I ever get lost

She told me to wait
until
somebody finds me

so
that's what i've been doing
ever since
Are you on your way?
I am still waiting.
And in the morning
I find myself
Wondering
Where did all of the saltwater come from?
I should be happy my poetry is crap
Depression is food for poets
And I am just not broken enough
To be good
One
You broke me into a thousand little pieces,
Because you would be happy with just one.
And now that you have it
You will keep it forever,
In a blue wooden box under your bed.

That smile on your face will now stay permanent,
Because you know that
Without it I can never be whole.
And you like your things
Just a little bit broken.
You took a piece of me
and I'm not sure
you'll ever give it back.
I will leave soon
And this,
This will no longer be home.
But I will be okay,
Not everything is changing.
The sun will be the same.
And the moon,
It will shine just as brightly.
And the stars,
The stars
They
Won’t
Ever
Fade

In a cup or a glass, a bottle or a flask
Liquid courage masquerades as personality
Everyone wants to be someone else sometime
So choose a poison and swallow inhibitions
Be that someone, or someone else
Control is an illusion
Courage cannot be purchased or consumed
Bluffing affability through a counterfeit life
Found in a cup or a glass, a bottle or a flask
