it’s days like these where
instead of furrowing my brows at the world
i instead appreciate the fact
and i am here at all
surrounded by such greatness
what happens at the fire
stays at the fire we said
but i wish the world had what we had
what we had under those stars
fulfillment, satisfaction, joy
laughing as we dance with the law
what could hold us back from freedom?
nothing but the songs and ...
flirting is easy, until it gets real
you ask me out like its no big deal
you‘re pretty, kind, smart and funny
when you smile, the room goes sunny
still i hesitate, is this really for the best
do i like you, or does it feel like a test?
how can you like me - of all the people out there?
somehow, that just doesn‘t seem fair
then i messed up, said something i shouldn‘t have said
you were upset, and...
in the heart of the city, under the neon lights, our paths crossed, igniting endless nights
like fireworks that outshine the busy city
that’s how my heart feels when i look at her
the glitter in her eyes, the laughter in her smile
windswept hair and an intelligence beyond the imagination
the way my heart flutter like a butterfly
like the butterflies in my stomach, shaking the ground under me
i’m s...
i close my eyes and take a deep breath
count… 1… 2…3
i open them, but all i see is red
searing, burning red
i need to get a grip
he always makes me feel like this
my heart races and my hands shake
why am i so emotional?
my pulse quickens as he meets my eyes
i can’t handle it anymore
“hey, steph”
no
i can’t
the way he says my name
i raise my arms
it could be a punch
or an embrace
but i don’t fin...
when life gives you lemons
make lemonade
sell it for profit
so you can make money
to buy food and save
over and over and over
all this energy put into an end of life holiday
where your bones will creak
as you sit
and knit
alone
why overcompensate the time
you could be spending
enjoying life
only to enjoy life less?
when it ‘matters’
when does it truly matter?
is it when the time comes
to sit...
bang, bang, BANG
hands over ears
why is it so loud?
"Open your eyes, Darling"
mama takes my hands
wow...
so many rainbows in the sky!
but so loud...
my breathing shakes and i sniff my runny nose
"loud mama"
mama smiles with pretty teeth and covers my ears
the rainbows pop and glitter
"Those are fireworks, Sweetie."
fire works!
"f-fire?"
"Good fire"
"pretty fire"
...
