**Drip**

**Drip**

**Splat**

Tears fall like raindrops from the sky,

Marring her small, freckled face.

She sniffles,

Breath stuttering,

She chokes on air,

Tears at her clothes, clutching her dying heart—

But she dares not scream.

No… she must be silent.

Her eyes puff red,

**Drip**

**Drip**

Her tears soak the floor once more.

No one understands.

**Drip**

**Drip**

And how could they?

**Drip**

Love is like the sound of bouncing balls

By balls we assured that no matter how bad your self-indulgence is or how dirty your walls might be, the taste it brings it is like a chefs kiss. The confidence to bounce with all its might, the love for the game its where you will find Christ....

I wonder where they had to go,

The animals that lived nearby,

In shady woods of trees and briars

Or prairie grass and wild flowers,

Who ate the berries by the ditch

Just like I did as a child,

But then they cleared away the land

For neighborhoods and crowded streets.

The loudness of development

Would cover screams of death, I guess.

For soon the places they could go

We’re gone without a trace or p...

Life can be so hard sometimes it can also be unfair but we grow stronger and learn to move on. I try to find joy in the little things now and be more positive. Living with mental health illness is hard but I try to tell myself that I’m not alone and people do care. I try to help others who suffer with mental health issues as well because I want them to know they’re not alone and that I understand...

I know what depression is,

A mind-addled sickness brought

On by broken wings, hobbled.

The same way love turns the

Eyes to rose, it turns the

Eyes bloodshot yellow.

My heart ached so much

Those days, pounded so loudly,

Striking hand held to breast.

Turgid pulse brought with it pain,

Twisted the world,

Inched me closer towards bitter shadows.

Years later, I sit with those memories

And remember ...

I’m searching for more joy in my life

Trying to learn something new every day

I think the key is to start on the inside

To change the way you think

About life, but more importantly about yourself

It’s hard not to judge your every move

To question the decisions you make

To actually applaud yourself for who you are

And for trying your best

I think there is more joy to be found

By accepting that y...

His eyes

I have never known for them to be sweet

Sweet like honey

On Sunday morning

His hair

Soft like the clouds in the sky

Light and delicate

A touch so fuzzy

His laugh

A sound so lovely

A harmoney I could hear for centuries

I was enchated

His skin

The warmth from his body

So velvety and luminous

I have never touched something so pastel

His smile

Bigger than the world itself

Cal...

I know what it feels like.

That deep dark feeling we all feel,

I know that pain all too well

I’ve mastered it,

In a way.

It’s okay to feel like that

It means your human

That you aren’t numb

That you are being true to yourself,

The trick is to be comfortable in it.

Be okay with that darkness in yourself,

Befriend that darkness

When it screams at you

Listen to it,

Because no one will ever hav...

why do i always have to be

the one at the side?

i sit here on the bench,

simply watching them shine;

basking in their glory,

but never having mine.

they’re the stars, and i’m their shadow,

trailing just a step behind.

and the worse part is

i can’t even cry,

because each one of the stars deserves to shine.

so i’ll just sit here,

waiting patiently for the time,

where i won’t envy the stars,

becaus...

I’m not sexualizing you

I’m longing for you

The nights when I don’t see you

I think about you until I drift off

So when you’re finally in arms reach

It is time for me to devour

You are a piece of meat

But you are also many other things

Loving on your body is one of the many ways I can love all of you

As I do with all of my senses

A whiff of your expensive cologne

The sound of your baritone v...
