the reasons why unanswered, but i know.

why wait for the sun to kiss your face 
when you could dance in the rain?
why stand in the shadows, shaking, unblanced
amongst your cripled remanins?
why wiat for your future
when you can live in today 
why let them hurt you 
when you could just walk away?
why cry oceans of tears for no one is near 
to offer you comfort and kindness?
why slip away, are you afriad 
of the approaching darkness? 
all life begins 
with one that has ended
so no nead to be sad
for the point of this earth 
is to be rebirthed 
as somehting a little more wholesome
and glad
for when you sing with your voice
and the smile upon your sweet face
you say to tomorrow 
and all of the yesterdays 
ill be ok
as long as the clouds create rain
and the sun shines during the day 
why should i wait for myself to not be afraid
when the monster of fear i could go out and slay 
why should i stand here
sad and alone
when i know i have things to live for?

  • 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
