6-5-17 Just Soar

 I wish days were as simple as flying a kite 

Letting the wind catch it softly and lifting it into the air 

Getting that running start 

Looking back and seeing the kite climb higher 

But I guess it isn't so easy

Wind eventually loses its battle with gravity and your kite collides with the cold earth 

You begin to wonder if it will ever fly again 

We are all kites 

Kissing the wind and pushing away the gravity 

Trying not to crash 

But this is just a metaphor 

I wish I was a kite 

Only worrying about the space between the clouds and the skyline

Gusts of wind pinching my blue cheeks 

Traveling anywhere I want to go 

I wish it was that easy 

But this is just a metaphor 

I am grounded 

Wind cannot catch me 

I cannot get a running start and climb the horizon 

If I was a kite

I would have no direction 

No destination 

In the space between the clouds and the skyline 

Letting go 

Trusting that I'll end up on top of the Eiffel Tower 

Floating in the waves of Niagara Falls

The tip of the pyramids in Egypt

Hiking the highest mountains 

Maybe someone will even catch me 

Fix my ripped edges 

No matter where I float, it's a new atmosphere 

Tasting different air 

Whether we are, were, or aren't at all, we all want to float above the skyline someday

 •breakables one beat after another  it bangs in my chest  like a drum without a sound  without a bass without a rhythm  i’m the only one who can feel it’s aching thunder  like something trying to burst through the skin  who is behind the sticks? I really will never know  no cymbals no shells but i know the feeling of this drum  it doesn’t stop until the song ends  and it’s only the beginning

3-10-23 Despite It All

 i’m wrapped up  and here I am living despite the suffocation  I don’t deserve this  and here I am being loved despite the hardness of my heart  I forget how to walk  and here I am walking on the waters before me and ground that shakes  I’ve turned away  and here you are standing before me /despite it all/
