after a long day of stretching the brain

i'd rather say i quit

i'll pack my bags tonight

and be gone by tomorrow

i'll pack my bags tonight

and be gone by tomorrow

i would rather escape the expectations and all

and say i'll be back in a year

instead of pacing the pages of this textbook

i'll be racing through a cool, breezy forest

instead of pacing the pages of this textbook

i'll be racing through a cool, breezy forest

but i can't say that just yet

there are deadlines to meet

and key points to be learned

so before i stop just now

i take a peek at how far i've come

although the journey wasn't at all simple

there's a lot that i've accomplished

before i throw the papers in a bonfire

there's a lot to appreciate in the moment

before i throw the papers in a bonfire

there's a lot to appreciate in the moment

before i throw the papers in a bonfire

there's a lot to appreciate in the moment

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
