Notes to Self
On Hoping
Dreams pave the path to possibilities.
***
Peace of Her Heart
She cloaks her past in fiction
Lead carves cyphered addiction
Redolent with pain’s perfusion
Breathes her soul, scarred by affliction
***
Free to Fly
Winning never happens when you fight the winds of change. Instead, extend your wings and fly toward what you’ve became.
***
You can’t put a price on happiness, but, you can sell out your soul to life’s sorrows.
My Notes
> when it’s just the moon and I seeing who will give up and close their eyes first
> and it’s all the same
a stupid amount of time in my brain
> The moon is like a crystal ball, you say.
It will tell you your fortune if you know how to read it.
> coming from a place of pain
coming from a suit of blame
> would i be breaking your heart or would it be mine
> I’ve fallen asleep -- can you hear me?
> Dancing in that playful dark
every night write new lines and take notes on my phone: here’s what happens when i combine them
what if i’m just made up of the hearts i loved / or am i only the pieces of the hearts that broke me? / sometimes i don’t understand where we’re at anymore / when i left you i didn’t expect you to find someone new / especially not so soon / it’s like when you leave chocolate in the car / it melts / and you didn’t think anything could happen without you there / but it can and it did / you moved on and i’m left / feeling numb and slightly dead / that’s the thing about endings / they aren’t always happy / they just end.

"So he chose abortion as his essay topic and I said to him, 'What source are you going to cite, the Bible?', and that's why I'm in danger now..."
