Sighs in Tears 4 – Hour 11
A dream not seen.
A sensation unknown.
A belief on the wings of a whisper.
Unheard certainty of what was.
A love that will be.
A despair calling me.
Tired
Time passes,
we age,
some things remain
the same,
that keeps you
tired and bored,
sometimes time
kills everything
including happiness.
I get bored
with Time,
time gets bored
when pass by,
time is no coming
back but taking
from us joy
and dreams.

6:00 PM – Disruption (Hour 10)
Waves of tonal
arrogance crashing
at random decibels
against moments of
brilliance fighting to
surf on a plane
of cognitive acceptance
sliding brutally
from my
grasp
Hour 10 – Who do you trust to hold your hope for you?
Who do you trust to hold your hope for you?
I trust any bee delivering pollen through my garden
and any fairy that can hold a secretย
well enough that I donโt know theyโre visiting.ย
I trust a portion to any friend who has bolstered my sobriety,ย
the awkward, heavy beast that it is.ย
And more to any family member who let me cry.
I trust a sliver of my hope to the stars,
hope theyโre too far away to lather it on their tongues as gossip.
I trust any flower that only opens itself to the moon.
I trust the moon.
But never myself.
Hour 10 – What is Love?
What is Love?
HE CALLS ME
UGLY
WORTHLESS
STUPID
ASSHOLE
Why doesnโt he love me?
Heโs My DAD!
I wont carry your words forward
What is love?
I AM
STRONG
RESLIENT
AMAZING
BEAUTIFUL
What is love?
I LOVE WHO I AM MEANT TO BE
YOUR WORDS NO LONGER HURT ME

when otto started the car, it backfired cinnamin which made otto’s elbow swell up and caused tremors.
