3.6.12 (times and time)

there are times
when every moment
feels like
an eternity.
like a
lifetime
lived in
one tiny
second.
maybe
that's why
i feel so
run down
sometimes.

3.6.12 (definitions)

i don't
understand
a lot of
people.
too often
do we allow
the things
we do
and the things
we own
define
who we are.

3.6.12 (future)

sometimes
i get overwhelmed
when i think
of the future.
because to me,
it's amazing
that we exist now,
let alone
in some far off
future.

3.6.12 (bad luck)

love
in the time
of the internet
has warped
our chances
of things that
last.
i want to
love slowly
and to
love wholly,
but alas,
i have no one
to hold my hand.

3.6.12 (vicious cycle (i don't like this one))

too many nights
have become
a blur
and too many mornings
have become
a battle.
observing the light
through cracks
has gotten old.
the day is coming,
i am going to
step back out
into the mid day sun
once more.

3.6.12 (prisoner)

i had you
locked away
in the very back
of my mind,
but you were
still there,
and now you've
made your way
back to the front,
and again,
my eyes
can barely see
anyone else.

3.6.12 (the runner)

there are times
when racing around
gets to be too much.
i'm always running
from someone
or something.
there are always
too many times
when anywhere
seems better than here.
i've always got my eyes
set on some impossible prize,
and i always end up thinking
if i had a reason to stay
i would.

3.2.12 (dreams)

dreams
are like bugs
we've got so many
but we've got no idea
as to how we will
catch them,
let alone
hold on to them.

3.2.2012 (final thoughts)

i don't like
the idea
of pretend.
imagination
is one thing;
that's seeing magic
in everything.
but pretending
that everything
is something else:
that just makes me sad.
i think my imagination
has run away,
but only for as long
as i allow him(her)
to be free.

3.2.12 (haha)

it doesn't take
a genius
to figure out
that i've done wrong
but i think i know
what i need to do
to fix what has
gone wrong.
i've got a few problems
some new
and some quite old
i just want to be able
to make one smile
until i am
sick and old.
