i can't help but wonder
if everything i do is
worth it
because right now
all i can feel
is the harsh truth
of my mistakes
so when someone asks me
was it
worth it?
i don't know what i'll say
because right now
all i can see
is the blinding light
reflecting off of my flaws
i suppose in the end,
i'll truly know if it was
worth it
but from now until then
all i will see is right now
and unless right now is
worth it
i will have to wait
i don't know if i'm ready
was it
worth it
they say jumping in is the best way to experience new things
but this isn't new
i know exactly what it feels like
i know
that
there
is
no
bottom
for
me
to
hit
'content' was always a far-off concept for me
as i sat in one place
waiting to be happy
waiting for peace to find me
and when it did not come i wandered
but i went too far and could not return
i got lost once.
i've since made that place my home.
The summer surrounds me,
enveloping my senses and overwhelming my existence.
I breathe the breeze as the sun warms my skin,
and I walk along the illuminated path to the hazy horizon.
This is the time I feel alive, whole again.
Your eyes reflect the warmth as I stare into them.
These months have long days and long nights,
in which I plan to get to know you better.
I have time.
My eyes alight with the coming dawn, I climb for the sunrise.
Upward, outward, forward. Onward.
Every burden passed, I sprint for clarity.
Upward, outward, forward. Onward.
A freshness sourrounds me and I cast my gaze to the future.
Upward, outward, forward. Onward.
Mountain peaks beneath my feet, I am calm.
Here, now, forever. Crystal clear.
Quiet oceans wait for me, beyond my Eiffel Tower dreams.
These city skies and plastic lies are far too useless for my eyes.
I still just wait for fate to take the time it needs to set me straight
and direct me where the air is clear. I fear that I cannot wait here.
All around lie lying lovers, lusting after one another.
Corrupted corpses flood the streets as cowards cower in defeat.
The signs all say that I should stay and suffer though each passing day,
but words of vandals, vagabonds, tell me I've been here too long.
The shadows made by city lights are never really ever right.
A frightened fool, I followed fast, and false friends t

Loving you again
is kinda like
slipping- into a worn pair of jeans
Forgotten for awhile, 'cause I
bought some skinny's last season
But they're just not right
(prolly too tight)
I missed those hiphuggers, frayed and torn
(or maybe I just missed you hugging my hips)
So we're hippies now I guess,
Self-righteous in our recycling binge
I'm allowed to wear out-of-style fashions,
because to be eclectic, you have to
avoid the new and modern
(but every day with you is new)
But the truth is, I never wanted to stash our
lives in a Goodwill bag at all

Battle with the Timbered Foe
Begone, foul invader of my phalanges!
I detest you and your terrible, spiny bits,
that had the audacity
to poke my finger! Le gasp!
Twas a terrible day por moi,
when my hand ventured to do battle
with the native timber
And lo! It fought back most viciously!
Piercing my finger with a slim dagger of wood,
Its anger was awesome and terrible
But that you would dare to get me!
Piece of spiky, yucky tree,
I will free myself from your invasion-
With Implements of Sewing!
Oh, joy! That such mundane objects could break your vengeful attack-
Many thanks are to be thanked to the Powers That Be for being!
And thank
