Some nights I lay silently on the grass and listen to the trees argue.
Their rustling leaves helps to take away my mind when it is all jumbled in one big mess.
The trees have survived so much more than me. Remembering that helps me to know that whatever troubles I have, I can get through.
My problems are so small in perspective to the large trees. The trees that have grown here for centuries.

I was quiet, but I was not blind. That is what I want to tell people when they say I’m too shy.
I was never shy, I just had nothing to say. Nothing that was worth a person’s time.
I have always hated it when people call me too quiet. That is not what I am.
I listened to everything. I did my job. Exactly what I was supposed to.
Why should someone be mad at me for being a good student?
Did you ...
The sky is dark outside, in the middle of the night. I should be sleeping right now, but I can’t. It’s easier to stay awake when my mind is racing.
I enjoy the peacefulness of the middle of the night. The quiet and the darkness. It is then when I can finally think.
I sit up in my bed and throw the covers off. I need fresh air. It will help me relax and think.
I walk over to the other end of my ...
Love is the lie
That keeps us alive
It keeps us on going
And fighting each day
We’re stronger
When we believe it
Then you know it is there
If you just hold on tight
Even at the lowest
And darkest of times
Just the thought of a love
Can bring you to the light
Not even a deep love
Or strong hold too tight
Just a small little feather
That floats on just right
A piece to hold on to
To keep growing...
We went inside today
That’s what we were told
When we were playing outside
Enjoying the nice bright day
Go inside
They all told us
So we did, locked in our rooms
And never to come out
Glued to the computer
They told us, keep looking
Our lives revolve around it
Just keep on clicking
Who is the new face
On the flat of my screen?
I’ve never met then before
But they recognize me
Come sit around th...
While chasing your ghost,
I became one myself
Because I never gave up hope
That you weren’t really gone
You started to fade
And I clung to the thought
That we would be together
Even when we were not
I never dreamed of the day
That I’d lose you forever
That you’re not coming back
That you are not real
I chased you and loved you
Begging to stay
But that could not happen
As you fade away...
What does red mean?
Is it the fiery boil of anger saved for someone special?
Is it the deep and dreadful scarlet of blood along the floor?
Is it the candy apple of poison deep inside a heart?
Is it the ruby shade of power that consumes the brain in hold?
Is it the bright and lightning fire of danger in its path?
And all the dread that it represents.
Is it the cardinal of morning and hope th...
If your hand could reach inside my heart,
what would you do with it?
Would you crush it like you did to me,
when you turned your back?
Would you break it like you did to me,
when you never left an answer?
Or would you fix and put it back together,
in the place where it belongs?
Would you mend it like you should have done,
all those years ago?...
The moment in time
Where everything’s fine
It doesn’t matter what is
Just that it is
The curl out of place
Or the mismatched of socks
A tear in a jacket
Or a scar on an arm
The things out of place
Make it all seem so nice
It doesn’t mater what is
Just that it is
The tear in a paper
Or the train just so late
A hole in the road
Or toast burnt to a crisp
Things just awry
And you don’t need to try...
