after the storm

And then one day after the storm, when you least think about it... the sun comes out.

the sad waiter

He was crying, so I looked away. I felt bad for him, having to display his misery to everyone attending. I never asked what was wrong because what kind of comfort could asking bring? Is it better to ignore people’s feelings? Let them feel and let it go. Is it better to not know why he cried and just wonder?

the grateful

Today im grateful for all that I have.

It took me a while to know,
but I don’t have it so bad.


Today im grateful for all that I don’t have.
For I have learned to cope,
and figure it out.

hope you know

I was happy that you existed in my life. But I never told you just like that. I hope you know these years would’ve been a drag without you.

we are warriors

We are all warriors,
fighting the fight,
trying to overcome our fears
waiting for our time to succeed.

starving for you

"I never thought I'd wake up and be starving for you."

                                                                        -Tegan and Sara

i can't untangle

Your mind,
beautifully intricate and difficult.
A complicated knot of ideas,
a tangle I can’t untangle.
And how I wish I could untangle your thoughts.
Just to know what’s going on.
Get a glimpse of what you know.

half empty, half full

Half empty, half full. Halfway gone, but still here.
Kind of have, but I never complete.
I walk a distance to find myself just a step away.
I kind of lose my voice shouting, but no one hears.
