you in my mind

When I clear my mind 

I just push you down deeper

into my core

until I just can't tell the difference

between thinking you and feeling you

now you have become part of me

and I'm tired of falling

but I can't seem to stop

even when somebody offers their hand

because it has to be your hand,

and I try to get over it but then

you come back and tie me up again

and I don't want to hurt anyone

but that's hurting me

and I am so, so tired

of working so hard to get you out,

except 

you will always be a part of me

and I can't stop my mind

from thinking about you, rationalizing

every little detail meaning the world

a world that I can't just live in

when you're here, somewhere

most definitely within me

but maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see

and that can't ever be enough

    HEADLINES

    Big words jumping out at you from creased paper, casually thrown on the counter, demanding attention 

    Meaningless opinions coated in fallacies

    A POEM BY MY SISTER <3:

    dew drips from a leaf

    a leaf that a little caterpillar walks on

    it will soon be transformed

    into a majestic pollinator

    its climbs to a branch on a small tree

  • Belle

    I lived in a world where outer beauty is the only kind that people see. I’d rather observe it from a rocking chair at the library back home, bearing down on an incredibly scripted work of art.
