come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
When the birds start chirping,
like a shards of glass in a glass jar,
Spinning around and working
the noise in circles to hear from afar,
Close your eyes for a moment.
Close your ears for a moment.
And let it all out.
No one to apologize. Just let it out.
No time for stoics, heroes or whatnot.
Just hold on. Grip it tight and let it all out.

caffeine induced insomnia for four nights
woke up, realized now is to start to write
what I felt, what I believed in my heart
before the day gets long to see the star
over the head falls the rain
perhaps explains the pain
one that might not be understood
as those who were not heard would
cry, cry all you want
tomorrow, after the storm, it’ll be calm
