New Year’s Day
I am not the moon and I'm not even a star I'm not the big, blue deep ocean in the dark And I am not like the fireworks that fly In the dark of the sky, on 12 midnight I'm not a big holiday like the New Year's But I sure am happy that I am here Even though I'm not the moon in the sky I am just a human experiencing life

I want my body to Be irrelevant.
I want everything of me Small, fluid, inconspicuous So I can slip through The cracks of life Like water, Picking up the sediment.

Kills me to see you
It kills me to see you happy.
There. I said it. But don't you think for a minute It's without guilt.
I hate my heart for breaking When I see you smile; the light in your eyes, And in knowing Why You have been playing,
I'm walking on sunshine, By Katrina & the Waves.
Singing along, Riding your dopamine high; you — On top of the world.
Kicks my face in the dirt.
I'm ashamed To say it, envy ridden, Because you are all I can see, And you have, apparently, never seen me
That way.
I should be happy for you, but I can't Because your sunshine is my rain; My endless, billowing clouds of grey.
You used to Hug them all away, But I wanted to kiss you, too… okay?
You're my best friend, But I want you to be so much more, And I kill my self each time I have to pretend I am happy for you both.

Morning rush
Visit was a plus
Routine walk is a must
Now I feel robust
No need to make a fuss
Many things to discuss
Life is a rush

I remember the echoes
whispering through the wisps of time, hints
of familiar yet far
so very far away, and yet so close I can almost
reach out and touch
your essence, you, your heart
under the moonlight, in the universe, we are
like stars
in a serenade of time.

sometimes nostalgia keeps us from seeing our destiny, because we can't leave the past behind us, believing that it’s all we ever wanted and needed in our life

You were empty. And, I starved for your love, for you to swallow my heart and feel full. So you would feel me inside and love me a little.

I’m
I’m obsessive, I’m compulsive
I’m the disorder
I’m bipolar, I’m paranoid
I’m the psychosis
I’m schizophrenic, I’m delusional
I’m the hallucination
I’m depression, I’m postpartum
I’m the personality trait
I’m misconception, I’m misconstrued
I’m the stigma
I’m paraphrenia, I’m paraphernalia
I’m the substance-abuse
I’m diagnoses, I’m treatment
I’m the medication
I’m hope, I’m faith
I’m the cure

Stillness Of The Ocean
Journey in the water Underneath the earth's surface. Drowning in the midst Of the turning and the twisting Oxygen running, like a clock Running out of time Tried to reach the blue of the sky But all was lost when I blinked out of life
