Things I want to do

Go to college,

Get Married,

Be Happy.

 

Laugh until it hurts

Scream with delight

Have tears stream down from joy

Not terror

 

Fall through the cracks

And race to forever

Drip like candle wax,

That touches the fire,

But is unable to hold it.

 

Eat the perfect ratio of,

Peanuts-to-raisins-m&m’s

 

Fly into the sky, and enter a place where people,

Drink dreams,

And shower in desire.

To be left in awe of Vegas lights,

But silenced by the vast dessert night.

 

I want a warm cookie in my left hand,

And cold milk in my right,

 

The Jury to be my head,

But the Judge to be my heart

Experience perfection,

On the edge of a broken glass,

 

Hold and just watch Sherlock Holmes,

 

Create something beautiful.

Destroy Something Beautiful.

 

Feel pain

then

Understand happiness.

 

Ride a roller coaster for ten hours straight,

Only stopping because adventure,

Sometimes can stifle the comfort of home,

But never for very long.

 

Sing,

Like no one is listening,

Speak,

Like everyone is,

 

Discover the conviction,

Hidden in the corners of my soul,

And then,

Wear it on my skin.

 

I only wish,

That when I say this out loud,

The world will stop laughing
