Hammocks

Hammocks bring people closer together.

Car trips push people away.

Hop in a car with someone

and sooner or later you want to kill them.

Sleep in a hammock with someone

and you don't want to say goodbye to them.

Hammocks are fantastic,

cars are awesome.

Which one will you choose?

Soon.

There is something I long for
I think now is the time..but it's not.
Who knows when it will be time?
The clock doesn't now
nor does the sun.
When will it come?
No one knows.
I wait for that day when I can have it.
But all I can do is wait and wait.
I hope that it comes soon,
really I hope that it comes at all.

Mountains

Mountains rise up above, I try and stand.
Mountains are strong and big, I'm weak and small.
I try so hard to be good, mountains just are.
Looking at them is awe inspiring, lookat at me is sickening.
I love being outdoors but I am mocked by the mountains.
I look to the mountains for hope,
that one day I'll rise up big, strong, and tall.
That will take years.
Mountains aren't formed in days.

Running

Running away only does nothing for you and I.
I leave and you're still there.
I come back and you're still there.
I try so hard for things to work but I find no success.
That's why I run.

Compass

The night sky comes from the east.
The sun comes from the east.
The sun sets in the west.
Rain comes from the north.
Snow comes from the south.
Where did you come from?
You're too good for this place.
Where did I come from?
I'm not meant to be here.

You

I reach for you.

Your hand is not stretched out to help.

I cry to myself.

You look away not noticing the pain.

I close my eyes hoping this isn't happening.

I open my eyes and see you're still there.

Now your hand is stretched out to help.

I grasp it and rise above.

Tears

Tears are for the strong
not the weak.
You cry because you're human
I cry because I am sad.
Tears bring people close together
I push people away.
You cry for the best,
I want the best.
Tears rip be apart
[But] For you they bring you together.
You cry because you can
I cry because I have nothing.

Take it slow

walk don't run

sit don't stand

whisper don't talk

watch don't stare

be still don't move

slow down

Rain

Rain is said to be angels crying in heaven.
When you cry it rains
When I cry, nothing happens.
Sometimes I make you cry, I never intend for that to happen.
When you do I want to cry along with you,
but I if I do the angels will stop.

Red Bull

Red Bull goes through me

like lightning

through the night sky.

Quietness

I'm quiet, that's how my life goes.
Sounds boring but to me it's my life.
My face shows little expression throughout the day.
I am quiet.
I keep to myself and hope for the best.
I say what is needed to be said and then go quiet again.
Speaking entertains those who can not think,
I think to myself.
I am quiet because it's already too loud.
I am quiet because I am happy.
Take time to stop and listen, look what is happening around.
Talking gets you no where fast.
I talk with my eyes and but remain quiet.
Talking doesn't help.
Listening and thinking is what gets me by,
Talking is too loud, whispering is like screaming.
I am quiet because it's enough for me.
I stay happy when I'm quiet.
Don't talk just breathe, don't stare just watch.
Be quiet.

Walking

One foot in front of the other, try it, it's not that hard.
Left...right...left...right
Two steps, don't stop, keep going.
I try not to stop, sometimes I find myself stopped in the middle.
I stand hoping that I'll start again, but I don't.
I see people passing me and I want to walk next to them.
But I'm stuck.
I wait for the day when I can move forward.

Hearts

My heart is irregular

Not really but it's not like yours.

My heart aches.

My heart loves.

My heart beats.

My heart hurts.

I want my heart to be healthy again.

For now it's not.

Where is it?

I yearn for something, I know what it is
but I don't know where to look.
I want this more than ever, I try so hard to find it
but I come up empty.
I cry because I can't have it.
I scream because I want it.
I look for that day when I have found it,
when that day comes I won't let it get away from me.
I will place it some where safe, where it won't get lost.
I can't wait for it.

In return

The daisy reaches for the sun
The baby reaches for his mother
The squirrel reaches for the acorn
I reach for something.
The sun warms the daisy
The mother comforts her son
The acorn feeds the squirrel
I get nothing.
The daisy is warm
The baby is calm
The squirrel is full
I am cold.
The daisy got what it wanted
Same with the baby
As well with the squirrel
I how ever got nothing.

Something

I have something that no one else has.
In my chest rests someting precious
The thing in my chest resides with me day in and day out.
I have something special
I have something that no one else has.
What I have I don't lend
I give.
I give it all.
I have something that no one else has.
What I have is special, more special
Than a wild rose
I have something better.
I have something that no one else has.
I have something called love.
My love burns brighter than the sun
My love is who I am.
I have something that no one else has.

Stairs

Walk up the stairs
be careful.
Some steps are different
Walk up the stairs to the door.
The door big red and warm
Touch the door, feel the look.
Look at the door, notice the door.
Don't look back.
Enter the door, walk through the door
Look in the room, fell the warmth of the room.
Sit down in the chair, relax you accomplished
Life.
