Wake up (for once in your life)

A child's dream in passing

I want to rule the world

but you tried to chase that dream

that dream that was impossible for you to achieve

that showed how you really think

how you're a child

in a body drenched in spray tan

that has too much power

to much money

too much influence

for your own good

hell, for the world's good

you want to be a god

an emperor

but you're being stupid

wake up

this is reality

  • Shedding our skin

    It's December already

    I've been alive for over thirteen years

    over thirteen years of learning and growing

    making mistakes and accomplishing feats

    of finding myself and uncovering layers in not only myself

  • Best friend

    Your new-ish house

    your dog sleeping on the rug

    my family and your family chatting comfortably

    your kitchen with your hot chocolate

    the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island

    that's one of my happy places
