she said my eyes are blue. truth is, i'm evergreen-
mad- blooming mad for weeds and lesser seeds- oh yes-
the ones that trample dainty, feeble flowers
to swallow up the sun, and sprawl their souls across
my garden-soil. someday, i say, they'll flourish-
my friends of ill repute. and maybe it's naive
to trust in thistled things- but not a waste,
and hope is never lost, only misplaced.

36 - enough excuses
Insecurities
Attempt to keep me from being
My best version of myself
Can't, won't, will try but most likely fail - is the discourse I had
And you reinforced to keep me from sur-
Passing you in anything at all, belittling
Any of my few achievements
Blaming me for your own short-comings
Leading me to think I could not

Weird Like Grammar
The weirdest things make me happy
Like being alone in public,
And standing in line for coffee
Wanting to get something different,
But chickening out and saying,
"Fuck it,
I'll have what she's having"
And that day she was having a drink called Ramona
Constantly changing her hair
In a world where people stare
informally at the informality
Of ordering someone else's drink for them
I memorized yours
With ever passing day,
I gave myself away
In take out boxes
Restaurant bills
And small recipes for tea
You told me stories of the people you knew

Hey Stranger
Hey stranger
Will you be my friend?
Not to keep me from falling
But to pick me up whenever I do

But to warn me of the consequences
Will you be there
To celebrate my successes
And comfort me in my failures
Will you be there
At the end when I breathe my last
And remember me as I once was

Tried something different today. I think I've started writing in iambs by default. I was thinking about hope.
Small vocab note: "green" meant innocent or inexperienced, once. We don't really use it that way much anymore.
