Albeit the sun rises daily, we open our eyes.
Beauty on earth we seem not to find, in the pales of our sky.
Caressed by sadness, her kiss stings our cheeks.
Do-gooders even find themselves wrapped in grief.
Every one of us, in constant motion
Forget-me-nots wilt when left unquenched in clay jugs.
Girls and boys
Having fun in the sun on summer days.
Inside it often rains, and rains, and rains
Judge not
Knowledge is everything
Love is not lost to us whom heartache stalks.
Marry yourself to misery
Normality’s beloved game
Often then we unearth ourselves to blame
Pursue the world, it isn’t always so blue.
Question
Rally
Sorrow permeates all
Truth be told
Unrequited life will get you nowhere
Value what you have, time is ephemeral
We are born unknowing, and pure
Xylograph yourself into this earth
You must live with
Zealous

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
