flighty writing


I don't know what to write about.
somedays, 
insperation flows from my fingertips like an endelles river of poetry. 
and others,
nothing.
I can't seem to find my usaul spark today,
it seems lost 
in a world of consant entertainment and over reactions.
I need to snap out of it
find that voice inside me
the voice
that tells me where to step in the forest, so I make as little sound as possible
the voice
that sings me to sleep every night, when it's quiet as hell and any abnoramal sound freaks the s#!t out of me 
the voice
that's there for me, when nobody else is 
the voice
that first whispered those thoughts in my ear
the voice
that made me look at you 
the voice 
that led me to a friend
someone I can trust 
and laugh with 
and cry with 
and whisper secrets to when the get to heavy for my soul alone.
the voice that led me to you 
and the voice 
that started this war 
with myself 
and taught me 
just how unpridictable 
and unsteady our emotional lives truly are.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
