As much as I want things to change

That is something that can’t be arranged

I look into the sky hoping the stars could wait

For me to go back and change the way I behaved

Sometimes I wonder if I did this to myself

Or maybe it was my pushing wealth

Perhaps someday they will know that I miss them

And know I didn’t mean to push them under my thumb

As much as I want to erase me

Everything is ...

I will be anything for you

From a blue whale helping you swim across the sea

To a mouse to help you find a dropped pea

Perhaps a chipmunk to join you when you explore

A bird to help you return home once more

I will do anything for you

I will climb the tallest mountain

Drown someone in a fountain

Give you my last sip of water in the golden-sand

And explore every bit of foreign land

I will be wha...

Only a few feet before

Not that much more

I can see you so clear

And I want to bring you near

But everything I try to grasp

Always turns into ash

You are right in front of me everyday

Yet the cost of reaching for you is something I can’t pay

I have to draw the curtains around me

Leaving you free

No matter how much my heart tries to disagree

I know in my head that you will be better without ...

Bright green leaves with drops of dew

The branches swish with the breeze around you

A long sturdy trunk, holding it tall

Through spring and summer and winter and fall

Deep beneath the ground

If you dig is found

An upsidedown forest like a reflecting lake

Except none of this haven is fake

The soil protects the trees knees

From the dangerous and swishing breeze

Stretching to lands just out of r...

Simultaneous footsteps pulsed like a heartbeat

Isn’t that quite neat

The lights reflected off of building walls

Shadows of trench-coated figures stood tall

Windows of lives all in a row

Not one spirit was feeling low

People rushing home from work

Walking straight by a cat who lurks

Sirens and wails

Not one role fails

The city at night cannot be beat

Isn’t that quite neat...

The plants around me were covered with dew from the midnight shower. The rough rocks were slippery and the fog covered my eyesight. Like it wanted to protect the world from me.

I wish I could blame it and tell it I was safe.

But I couldn’t.

Step on a crack, you break your mommas back.

I bounced from stone to stone.

The wind whistled past me causing me to stumble.

_Thump_.

My foot landed on a cra...

The sun peeks behind the horizen line

The daisies wave and say the morning is fine

The sun rises high above, playing in the birds race

The daisies stand and watch from their place

Swoops and dives and chirps all along

The sun stays steady on the path it is on

Twists and twirls and laughs through the field

The daisies play with the children who yield

Like two canvases side by side

Two differen...

Golden fireflies

Reflecting in my eyes

If only you could see

How much you mean to me

I wish upon your journey at night

And stare at your courageous light

I draw pictures with you every day

And share them at spots along the way

Perhaps your burn is dying out

But your story doesn’t fade until a long amount

Worlds far away can still see your fire

And I carry you with me along a wire

When I...

First you shoved me in a mold

Watched with glee as I shivered from the cold

Then you closed in on me

Saying I had to pay a fee

Promise of daylight and glowing candles

Was diminished by the shadows handles

I begged for a way out

But all you did was pout

Made me feel out of place

If I went my own pace

I knew it all along

Deep inside I knew you were wrong

The stab of the dagger still dug just...

I always chose someone I didn’t know.

I never let it affect me.

Until I realized how much it did.

_‘Frida Navada_’

My hands shook as I wrote the name.

What if they had a family? A bunch of friends?

I shoved any feelings of empathy aside and quickly licked the letter and sealed it shut. I don’t have any room left for empathy, so why won’t it stop banging at my door? I slipped letter in the mail ...
