"I have a solar-powered confidence and a battery operated smile. My hobbies include - editing my life story, hiding behind a metaphor, and convincing my shadow that I am someone worth following."
-Rudy Francisco, The Honest Poem
because i love you,
i see ultraviolet whenever i close my eyes.
i see my shadow, my reflection in the mirror,
and i am no longer afraid.
...
1s and 0s,
pixels on a screen.
i never thought they would
mean this much to me.
But i, like the fool I am,
feel for the high definition,...
most days i find myself
staring at the clock,
staring at my watch,
staring time right in the face.
11:11 all I ever wish for is you.
11:11...
so I'm singing la la la
belting la la la
in these empty streets,
empty rooms,
empty halls,
in hopes that it would
bounce off the walls
and...
Do you ever miss yourself?
Ever miss everyone you used to be,
everyone you wished you could be,
or everyone you never were?
But now somehow...
