(2013)
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
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze

Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
