For You

Because everything changes.

Not even the sun and the sky can stay the same forever.

Like stones in the river,

ever turning and ever changing. 

Rest assured, in your brilliant mind,

that everything happens in exactly the way it's supposed to.

Hold tight to that belief,

even if you don't believe it. 

Follow the flow of the river, as it curves and bends,

and washes clean all things wrong,

gaining more speed and intensity as it flows. 

Nice to Know You

What are my options?

To bury myself so deep into you,

that I can no longer see the way out?

Or to run?

I'm tired of losing myself in everyone else.

Tired of adapting for every person,

and sick of turning over and over,

like a ratty engine. 

Yet, running is getting old.

It's starting to tear me apart,

my body is wearing down.

My mind, already worn.

Life lesson, ahoy! 

Time to break out the pens and pencils, 

sit up straight,

and pay close attention.
