Change.
My life is change.
It is,
Language,
Feeling like an outsider in a foreign context yet being amazed by the unique utterance.
An experience,
It’s not about me and it’s not about you
its about us and what we do
never too late to see, never too late to do
follow your dreams and hope the rest falls through
as the sky clears up from dusk till dawn
I guess you could say
that I'm a girl in love.
No?
I think so anyhow.
My heart definitely does
when it leaps as you walk in the room
My eyes think so too
becaus they always seem to seek you out.
I'm tiered of waking up to see the news.
How many died?
Who bombed who?
When I see the headlines I sigh,
They outnumber those that show any hope,
Faith in humanity so hard to restore.
I am every bit as pathetic as the paper in my mouth.
The paper that will very soon become a topic of discussion among my friends;
Wondering why my hands now smell like anxiety,
Last night we laid in our bed and giggled about absolutely nothing. Whispering in our dimly lit room, my head pressed against you, I heard the rhythmic thumping and slow gentle rise and fall of your heart beneath your chest.
As I sit at my desk I look at my clock
It hits midnight and I know it’s gonna be a long night
I look down and realize
No words
Half done
Nothing
Shouldn’t have waited until last minute
Money
There's so much of it in the world
but why don't I have any of it?
Why does my family struggle so much
when others have money coming out of their ears?
I'm stuck trying to figure out
A monkey is in a tree
by the ocean
by the sea
In a tree all on its own
Free to roam
And inhale the ocean breeze
I just can't find the right one.
What am I doing wrong?
They say go with the money.
I say I want to go where ever my heart desires.
But I have had a personal struggle with having too little.
Without stability there is disgrace,
For you may look, but nowhere may you run,
For we cannot be scattered into space,
Only stability can make us one.
To be alone is not a lively state,
You teach math.
You show up every morning, every day
On time -- punctuality is important when you deal with numbers.
Your suits are pressed, your ties match your pants
