The Screen On The Back Porch Tore Last Night

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Does time ever wish

That it could slow down

Even for a moment

Too?

Someday I'll stop waiting

For a love thats come and gone

I know that it wont get here

But I hope to God I'm wrong

Tired Thoughts

Some thoughts from my sleep deprived brain on colorblindness:

What if colorblind people are actually seeing things right, and everybody else is actually colorblind?

What if colorblind people can actually see a totally different color and we just call it purple or something?

What if colorblind people are piercing some sort of visible veil, seeing stuff that nobody else can?

In the darkest light

Of morning

I see the outline of your face

An illusion

That I trace

With cold fingers

Which long to be warmed

By you

Dont you think I've hurt enough?

My chest is pieces

My heart is numb

Razor sharp words

Shred my skin

Daggers of emotions

Carve my soul

You did this!

Yet you scream at me

For being broken

And mangled

As if it were my fault

For loving

In the first place

Thoughts on Beauty #2

She saw herself as hideous, so she marked her skin in red. What she never knew was how beautiful the scars were. They were an expression which showed that she could still feel, even after all she had been through. That is more beautiful than any amount of foundation or concealer. 

Because of those scars, she knew she could endure. 

Thoughts on Love #19

I want to give you my smile when you are sad.

I want to give you my spirit when yours is lost.

I want to lend you my heart when yours is broken.

Because you made me whole again- you made me complete, and i want to return the favor. You will find happiness, even if it kills me to make it happen.

When will i learn

That your love

Was never for me

To hold?

Only for me to veiw

At a distance

But never to really

Touch.

Your shoulders are littered

With meaningless tatoos

Inky reminders

That cannot be removed

So here is new mistake

For you to wear around

And maybe it will mean something

When i am nowhere to be found
