The Asides of Life
What is it to be
one single free
being,
writing singing dancing playing?
It’s a home away from home,
the silence in the wind.
to be oneself
and find oneself
amidst a crowd of clowns and imposters.
That journey to the center
that took
hope and failure and truth,
the acceptance
not of the world, but
of your own conscience,
your own mind,
an inner peace that brings
everything
together and brightens your eyes.
But what would it be without
the rocks, the thorns, the asides,
the ones about
love
hardship
death
and the loss of a good friend,
that bring together
the bigger picture
of everything you ever wanted to be.
It marks the shift
in adolescence
the turning of a page,
the beginning of a new adventure
that began
just as the first,
with every step
every breath I take
I write the next chapter.
And yet
I sometimes wish
to burn the pages of yesterday,
the stories that brought me
to my knees
to my destiny,
the revolutionary tales that
fill my mind
and pump the blood through my veins.
I am otherwise lost
wandering with the souls of the planet,
waiting for the end
with no purpose
hope
or dream,
of a world
beyond all we ever dreamed
all we could live for.

Come Back
The soft touch of cotton
My hand on my chest
My heart beats faster and faster.
The solemn sound of nothing
My mind wanders
I begin to drift away.
I was in love once
My heart melts for you
Wherever you are right now.
Come back to me.
I so long to be in your arms
To feel the touch of your hand
On my face.
Your lips pressed to mine.
How are you doing?
Do you ever wonder,
About me,
and you?
Your smooth tender skin
I close my eyes
You kiss my neck.
I turn over in the sheets
An empty room with an empty bed
No one to hold on to.
No one worthy, no one right
My heart can’t hear the truth
If only I could see inside you.
Come back to me.

Icicle
The winter air on my face as I step into the cold
My hands go numb with every step I take
My breath penetrates the cold that encompasses the day
I must make this trek across the land to reach the door.
I spot a ray of sunlight and wish for a moment,
I was that brick being warmed by the sun.
It feels like little needles pinching every inch of me
I race closer and closer to the sun.
My body is too cold to get warm, I keep walking
Dreading every step I took since I left the apartment
I can’t seem to get close enough
I forget why I am out here, why am I so cold?
I begin to hate everything
I try to avoid every breeze of wind, every moment
I approach the door with my stiff hands
An icicle dangles from the handle.
I watch as it begins to melt
My heartbeat slows, I can’t feel my feet
It falls to the ground
Pieces shatter everywhere.

"And all I believe
Is that you’re my everything
Please don’t walk away
(Pleas stop, don’t keep on walking).
All I can breathe
Is the air of you and me,
Just hold me in my pain
(Just hold me in my pain)."
-Tyler Ward
Seriously.. couldn’t have put it better myself.
