ALWAYS

They are the ones that are always around.
They are there for you when no one else is.
They are there even if you aren't yourself.
They support and encourage you.
They help you to be your best.
They help you get through your worst.
They cry and laugh with you.
They feel your hurt and pain.
They would do really anything for you.
They are always there and,
They always will be.

AND BUT

It is, therefore it isn't.
It was and then it wasn't.
It speaks but is mute.
It feeds and yet it starves.
It does and it doesn't.
It sees but is blind.
It knew but now knows not.
It's different and it's the same.
It can and really can't.
It hears but is deaf.
And it would if it only could.

UNTOUCHABLE

There is a pool of water that none should touch, but I washed my face in it. It was so cool and fresh as it tricked down so I lapped it into my mouth. With my thirst fulfilled a hunger set in so I selected a piece of fruit. It was the closest food that I could reach, even though it was from the untouchable tree. But I washed the apple in the pool. The fruit was delicious to taste even though the sight of it looked wrong. The soggy yellow pieces clenches onto my tongue as I made my way to the rip core. Juices fell into the pond as I started to slowly feast on the sweet red center. It left my hands sticky but I washed them in the pool and picked another fruit.

TOO HAPPY

You're much too happy to be here. Misery is a must. It's a requirement, you know. You're tears are not of sadness. They're not even of pain. And so you don't belong. Now leave while you can. You're far too happy to be here.

KNOW

I think I know.
Maybe I do.
It might be deep below.
Or it might be new.
Either way, why not pretend
And learn to know it in the end.

CAN

Can I simply talk to you? Can I just let you know how I'm feeling? Can I just yell at myself? Can you just listen and understand? Can you not judge me? Can you just sit still and listen? Can you just watch? Can you let me cry? Can you not comfort me? Can you let the tears flow down? Can you just listen and watch? Can you be there for me? Can I tell you how I'm really doing? Can I completely tell you the truth? Can I trust you with the reality of it all? Can you keep your promise to not tell? Can you just be what I need? Can you help me? Can you?

LITTLE SILLY

A silly little thing
Can make you
Sad, glad or mad.
Just a silly little thing
Can change your
Sun to rain.
Such a silly little thing
Can affect your
Entire day.
And it's just
A silly little thing.
