to whom it may concern... no one


quien es ella

self condemnation will get me nowhere

you came with scissors
and later left
but you'll come back 
and, i'll let you in 
yes, all the way in 
even though you come with scissors

mistakes i know all too well

tears 
pouring out of eyes like there is an endless well somewhere, hidden where i cannot see 
pain 
every single drop falling so fast for it is weighed down with heartache, 
heartache
so strong that every drop of hers that collides with my skin makes me flinch 
i can almost physically feel it, taste it, because i can see it 
words escape me 
for, 
when i make the same mistakes as you
who am i to give advice?
i can only relate... and touch to console 
who am i to give advice?

sing me a song

(many societies understand family through other concepts than genetics)

we all live together 
making music through our lives
every action ringing, shattering the silence of monotony  
oh, here life is never mundane, but interesting, twisted and bright 
each of us with our own song
each of us with our own fight  

so sing me a song 
pick up that guitar 
and tiny harmonica 
turn on the organ and whistle along 
we'll act like we're great, 
cus when we're together, we're great,
sing me the song of our lives 

(i am home 
goodnight, brother, 
i am home)

crossed



her words crossed my vision
and he told of it too 
not to me, the world, but i'm apart of that so i heard 
and then him, he's effortless 
but for more

i get word in convenience 
only sometimes...
not usually
remembered
because quickly warmth is forgotten 
leaving the amity flawed 

still there are the pictures captured in whispers 
smiles and smirks
but not observed 
i notice it's when obvious  
only when most eyes are closed 
only when predicted and convenient
only when best noted, by none

i grow up

i have a fish
named fishy 
so original, i know 
what am i, five years old? 
something like that, sometimes...
then night comes along 
and i grow up. 
older than five, 
older than i am, really

awkward and lovely

you know those days...
where nothing matters
everything that happens feels so surreal
when you don't go through the motions, because there are none
when it feels like you're a spectator
like nothing is actually happening to you
you're just watching
so you're invincible
possibilities
the world is on your fingertips
so you stare at it because you've nothing better to do
the days when you find beauty in the simplest things
things you overlooked entirely before
your senses seem heightened
because every song has glorious new beauty
you can almost taste the notes it seems so lush
and food is exquisite, even the simplest
awkward and lovely these days are...
i've had one of those days today
i wish it was endless
appreciate the simple
