i wonder when ghosts from
our pasts die,
do we feel them go
like we do the
living?
my best friend is adopted.  his blood-related mother just died, he seemed so lost.  he hasn't seen her in years, and she was awful to him, but i can't even imagine
Is just what it sounds,
First you're up,
Then you're down

Can't decide
Of what to write
Of hearing? Of taste?
Of smelling? Of sight?

And you run in circles
But nowhere you get
Because writer's block
Has you in its net.

Cemented shoes
And silenced talk
It's even hard to describe
Writer's block
Stuck in a rut
Perfection is overrated
and I love broken things.
The color of glass
and shattered dreams.
Sometimes,

Hello

can be the most difficult
word
to say.
Moral victories
Incomplete -
Standing alone now,
Cumbersome -
And in Defeat.
Silence -
Emphatically daunting,
Patiently awaiting resolve,
Hoping you choose me.
Waiting for my love to come back to me.
The end of a beginning,
The solitude of a heart -
When the memories dwindle...
All that I knew of you,
Begins with love -
And ends with hate.
An ending I had hoped would be different, but t'was the only ending you had seen.
I'm strong
As an ox
Courageous, Bold
Fearless,
Nothing can hold me back
Try and break me
I dare you
Because like a diamond in out of the rough
I refuse to be crushed
 
I'm strong
Rolling with the punches
Going all in on hunches
Not scared to fail
No need to bail
Not stuck in a prison, no limits
Can't remember the last time I felt timid
 
I'm strong
But today I feel weak
Feel like folding
Crawling into a hole
Today looks bleak
Encased in the prison of my own mind
Hits so hard
I'm going blind
Darkness is all I see
I embrace it
Hug the pain
I stand outside in the rain
I allow myself to get wet, get soaked
And this makes me strong
