Gali

To live is to die

To laugh is to know what it feels like to cry

To try is to fail

To have friends is to have enemies as well

The good does not stand alone

But neither does bad

There is no ying without yang

today is yesterday’s tomorrow

full of promises that linger as the sun emerges,

a warm breeze colliding against

the soft pillowy fabric of your curtains.

today is yesterday’s tomorrow

wiping tears away from swollen eyes

yet still they leaked through

a waterfall of pain dripping onto the ground

drip drip drip

day two

tossing, turning, crying in bed

hugging knees tight to chest

they say they’re open-minded 

until i open my mind

The rain is falling now

You can cry

All this pain now

You've been holding for a while

Your fear will be safe with me

and the music of rain showers

Anxiety is encircling my fingers,

Every move I feel a twitch. 

This pain is nothing new

And now my heart has a stitch. 

I didn't want to break your heart
