Some Say

Some say I shouldn't write
they say I should do something more
'productive'
that I shouldn't be useing my thoughts
in words
but I should be yelling them outs
some say I shouldn't chase my dreams
they say I should be
'focusing'
that I should be in reality
and working my hardest
some say I should never let my thoughs flow free
they say I should be more
'centered'
that I shouldn't let wild and fun thoughts
creep in and beat the others to my mind
but I say
I should write
and pour my hear and essence
onto a single page
I should daydream
and let my hopes and dreams
billow through my hair
I should let my thoughs flow free
and have the funniest and wildest ideas
and share them with others
I never really have to listen
to what some say.

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
