Buckle up, bitches
\nAnd get ready to ride
\nYou just might need stitches
\nYou best say goodbye. <\/p>\n
From what life has taught me
\nThrough my ins and my outs
\nJutting through the expanse to see
\nTo witness what it\u2019s all about<\/p>\n
One minute I\u2019m jovial
\nBurning brighter than a solar flare
\nMy jokes are quite colloquial
\nSeriousness you can find elsewhere<\/p>\n
But then my mood darkens
\nIt\u2019s weight heavy in my chest
\nIt shrivels the life within my gardens
\nYet save flowers if they\u2019re pressed. <\/p>\n
And then it shifts to where I\u2019m stressed
\nOverthinking, cartwheeling to conclusions
\nThe tides of woe leave me unimpressed
\nNegativity a soul\u2019s murky pollution.<\/p>\n
I hold my wisdom as my tongue
\nAnd murmur my knowledge in kind
\nHere I thought I knew too much young
\nBack then I was unimaginably blind<\/p>\n
But then I remember how I love
\nThe magnification of desire
\nConsumes all like a blaze thereof
\nLeaving my heart roasting on a pyre <\/p>\n
And then find reason to smile again
\nIts the thought of you
\nDaydreams, how I can\u2019t abstain
\nHanging upon your every word till true<\/p>\n
So I shake away uncertainty
\nThat swallows my entire head
\nWhat I let go remains uncertain
\nIntentions oft misread.<\/p>\n
And then back to fatalistic ideals
\nThere\u2019s nothing that can be changed
\nSo accept that I am the raw deal
\nBack and forth, there I go- I\u2019m really not that deranged. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
