moderate

when I was told 
“enjoy everything in moderation” 
I took it to heart 
literally 
and I’m starting to think 
maybe that’s why 
I can only be close with someone 
for so long 
before I get overwhelmed
and start to push  them away
leaving me even more alone 
than I was in the beginning

I've kinda been stuck and this is the only thing I've been able to come up with in a while

done

after months
of being the only one to say
I miss you
it's getting to the point
where I'm not sure
I even miss you
anymore

intruder

I've finally kicked you out of my heart 
so why are you still in my head ?
get out 
get out *
*get out

consequences (10w)

You have got nothing
to lose
except for
maybe
me

this is my first attempt at one of those 10 word poems and I'm pretty sure my poem viriginity shows

summer afternoons

everyone always admires 
the stars 
and the rain 

but what about 
the sun 
on those summer afternoons 

where it’s just a little hot 
but the breeze cools it down 

where you don’t need a sweater 
or a bucket for your sweat 

where it's easy to be overflowing with joy 
instead of complaints about being too hot or too cold 

these are the times  when life is truly lived 

the perfect weather 
for the perfect memories

new perspective

when I'm with you
I feel like
maybe being human
isn't so bad
after all

first

sometimes I feel like you don’t deserve
all my words
all my time
or all my love
the way I’ve so easily given them to you
but then I remember
you were my first
and we had it pretty good
even though you broke my heart
you were still the best thing to ever happen to me
