In my dreams a publisher sees my work and tells me they think I've got a real shot

In my dreams the ratio of rejection to acceptance letters in my inbox is not quite as depressing as it is in real life

In my dreams I am not editing my suicide notes and calling it poetry

In my dreams I never burned all my best work in my mother's fireplace when I was seventeen

In my dreams I can finish an entire project before the fear consumes me and causes me to walk away halfway through

In my dreams I am not bitter over the success of others

In my dreams I know where the line between courage and cowardice truly is

In my dreams I have never once thought of giving it all up

In my dreams I am brave

In my dreams I am unwilling to compromise

In my dreams I am tearing out my insides and throwing them down on the floor

In my dreams I am offering myself up as a whole and not as broken parts

In my dreams I am shouting I am here look at me

In my dreams I am exposing my open wounds and I am not asking to be healed

In my dreams I am cutting out my heart and I am not asking to be loved

In my dreams I am inadequate and insignificant and small and I wouldn't change that for the world

Fly
Sometimes I wish I could fly
But everytime we talk I feel so high-
High enough to feel like I could touch the sky

I haven't been to moon
But I swear in that moment
I feel no gravity.

I wonder how you look
How your voice sounds like
and how you like your coffee in the morning

I wonder how you walk
How your laugh sounds like
and how you like your tea in the evening

Someday our paths and hearts will meet
All we need for now is a little patience
and i am holding fast to that dream

For now you have no name yet
No face to recognize
but someday for sure I know
I'll say, "Nice to meet you, Mr. For me."

You wear your best suit
You wear your best smile
You wear your best perfume

I wear my high heels
I wear my high hopes
I wear my red lipstick

You are so sweet
as the maple syrup
in my pancakes

I'm like a butter
spread in the bread-
melting when you look at me

This love tastes like a coffee-
Bitter-sweet,
Strong and warm

But the I realised,
You took me in the heartbreak hotel

It's been three months
since the very first day
you said "Hi." with a smiling face.

It was until three in the morning
and we're still up
talking about the most stupid things on earth
to most earnest matter
There's no inbetween

Three days have gone and past,
You are a rabbit hole
And i am Alice-
I fell
I know
I did

It was your three words that caught me off guard.
Little did I know,
It was a love shared by three.

I saw a little kid crying on the corner of the street. I asked her why and with eyes of crystal tears she answered, “My ballon flew up, up and away. ”
I feel sorry. I gave her some penny enough to buy a new one but with pure conviction she said, “It's okay, I didn't hold it tight. I should have tied it around my wrist”

I smiled and remembered you. I am the balloon and you were the little kid.

This is ok I guess

but I want something more.
there's got to be something,
anything more
than this

everything is starting to fall apart but simultaneously all fall together and in place.
change is swift these days,
& energies are running super high,
& time is still speeding up.
truth and realizations are flooding everyone now.
breakups and makeups you'd never thought you'd see are happening everywhere.
everything's fallin into place, whether we see or understand that place or not, it's happening against our control.
are we leading up to something?
are we all taking our final places on this stage we call life, to live out the final act, the end scene?
to embark upon a whole new story/play.
something much greater then we can know & see is happening right now.
& what's happening is outta our hands at this point, so buckle in everyone and embrace the unknown!
I think 2015 is gonna be one hell of a freakin year.
enlightenment is here.
weather to whether is my suggestion

every day is a party.
a chance to seize the day.
a clean slate, to change fate.
an opportunity to rejoice and celebrate life,
& the amazing chance that you got to live one!
why not smile about it, why not dance about it?
hell, let's all make sweet romance about it!
this is our time to shinee,
COSMIC CREATURES OF CREATION
it's time to fly, it's time to fall,
to have a blast, & see it all.
don't waste the most precious & beautiful gifts you were ever given.
your life, your time, & your body.
you've been given a vehicle for your soul to explore in.
the opportunity to be able to exists as more then just energy and soul, but in a physical sense too.
don't waste this experience, this journey, and don't waste yourself.
take nothing for granted, & take care of yourself.
the world is your oyster, and you are the beautiful shining pearl.
