Shadow Space

Slowly
like a predator waiting in the
shadows
you crept up on me
Attacked me
You tore me down just to let others
pick up the pieces.

But
It began to lighten
Every time I was laid on that silver table
Every time I saw that light above my eyes
Every time someone stopped by to stay
I love you

So much

Has happened
But you've drawn me to you
Despite your malicious tantrums
and you're destructive hand holding

It really breaks my heart to know
that they're only here for you
But deep down I always knew
that the cancer killing me
is what I've grown most fond to.

Just Okay

“The way the world was shaped was different in her eyes. She tried her best not to slip off the edge of the earth, while everyone else just rolled around it’s curves. It’s difficult to talk about her. She didn’t say much because to her, there was never much to say. This is one of the things that made her so unique. She was there: A simple existence in a complicated void. She was never okay, but that was never the issue at hand for her. Everyone seemingly deals with big mass destructions in their vivacities. She wasn’t dealing with anything. She was just herself. For some, that’s good enough, but for her, it never was. She listened intently and never spoke out of turn.   We kept pouring it on her and she kept taking it. Not once did she complain. The best advice always came from her. She would spew all styles of intelligence and people continually absorbed it. There wasn’t a problem too challenging for her to dissect. She liked this about herself, but it still was not enoug...

Religion

I had my religion final today and wrote this for one of my essays! We had to write something creative about your faith. It's a little shaky, but I only had 20 minutes to write it. Hope you enjoy! I am sent from God in the heavens above. My father has sent me to be the holy one. I am strong with faith and forgiving to all. Anyone can be catholic, just read the conversion of Paul. My teachings can be found in all four gospels. Wait until you read the signs and see the stunts that i pull. I ate with tax collectors and even walked on water. I forgave the girl who committed adultery: she too is God's daughter. I'm here to spread the good news and give religion  start. Faith isn't found in a science book, but in your heart. You should go to church on the holy sabbath day, although I am always listening to you pray. Live by the commandments, it isn't hard to do. Just do unto others as you want them to do unto you. I know it's hard to believe without really seeing, ...

Lifeless

Scrape my soul, eat me up. Take my life, don't leave me rough. Somewhere unknown, in a wood far off, there we'll stay with our lifeless love. Be my foundation to be deadly insane. Help me forget the world that continues to maim. Scatter me in a haven where the ashes disappear, but leave remnants so they know I'm still here. Forever we'll stay in hearts that don't beat, as we travel the globe finding a place to sleep. Never one place too long, they'll know what I'm keeping, but they can't know what I am if their bodies stop breathing. For now I'm here playing life on, but don't be surprised when you wake up and I'm gone.
