Bitter
black
coffee
keeps me
sweet.

I'm not the one for you
but you can't tell.
I warned you, over time
this fantasy turns to hell.
You're not the one for me.
I'm just using you.
One day I'll set you free and
you'll hate me when I do.

Like leaving someone for a new lover, the
stars align in one sky and burn out in another.

-

I don't want to be a lighthouse anymore.
I don't want to be a shining example.
I'm tired of being the bigger person and having all of the answers.
So lonely it is to be the beacon of light
Saving lives and glowing bright
While remaining hollow come every night.
I don't want to be right if it feels this wrong.
I stand tall with cracked walls
Wishing the seas would erode me
But it's those waves that motivate me.
I cannot bare to watch as men drown
So, I always call them home safe and sound.

We aren't
old school
baby our love
is ancient

-

She taught herself strength.
She needs help learning grace.

-

Is it possible to feel like an alien in your own world? Among your own people and in your own skin?
Why, yes.
Those things were never yours to begin with.

-

I cannot take the ugliness out of this world, but I can write about it in a way so that you can see the beauty.

-

One day you'll find me when you look up to the sky. My skin will shed, my lungs will fill with stardust, and I'll kiss this realm goodbye.

Accept change gracefully, like the seasons do. Fly high and free with the birds. Shine bright and warm like the sun we revolve around. Grow consistently like the flowers that always come back. Stand as tall as the mountains that reach up to the skies. Stay humble and strong like the forests and trees. And always flow faithfully like the water itself.
