(2014)
Life is an uphill struggle Nothing comes easy and only hard work pays off I don’t like hard work was my 5 word protest
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
