As I float in a sea of black
I think of all the impact Your choice has made on me And the rest of the family And I think of how things would be If you had chosen to stay here With meWindy skies and winter nights galore
Kate and I hope to make it from the store After shopping all day we’re in need of a break Maybe some waffles or potatoes and steak We arrive just in time to have a feast Late night pancakes can’t be beat As we leave the car safe and sound We find the the keys are nowhere to be found We look and look til we tire The keys were left in trunk with a pile of wires Moving the backseat is our only hope Until we realize a one small button could have helped us cope With how silly to cousins can be Sometimes you’re best friends are in your family.Life is a journey
It’s not a sprint It’s not a mere trip With life comes learning And with learning comes a beautiful lifeWhen I can’t sleep
I lie in bed and think of life All I want to do is weep I think about memories and past strife I lie in bed and think of life I try to count sheep I think about memories and past strife But nothing I do helps me sleep I try to count sheep I think about the day ahead But nothing I do helps me sleep But I just can’t shut off the thoughts in my head I think about the day ahead Finally after hours and hours I drift But I can’t shut off the thoughts in my head Thankful of the sand man’s giftAs tears stream down my porcelain skin
I think of all the places I’ve been The words flow right onto the page As my feelings are released from its cage Whenever I feel like I have nowhere to turn I write and let my emotions churn There’s a writer in you and me You just have to let them out, willinglyPoetweets
I live my life as I choose, I’ve learned to live knowing I’ve got nothing to lose.———–
Stringing along tiny pieces of communication, but do they add up?——–
Writer’s block. The worst feeling since the crash of stock.
