"Right Side Up"- A Poem


There's this lightness and it comes in waves
Like the world is right side up
Even the southern hemisphere
Those little village people
Bringing water from the river on their heads
Little do they know,
To get back home 
It's upside down

And for some reason
My world is right-side up 
For the first time
In ever

"Love of an Orchestra" by Noah and The Whale



If you gotta run, run from hope

I know I'll never be lonely
I've got songs in my blood
I'm carrying all the love of an orchestra

gimme the love of an orchestra [x3]

So now in my deepest sorrow
there's no need for despair
I'm carrying all the love of an orchestra
gimme the love of an orchestra [x3]

If you gotta run, run from hope

"Ten Years"- A Poem



My whole world
has been disrupted 
and things just aren't working
the gears aren't 
turning the right way 
anymore
and to think i haven't looked at the 
stars
it feels like ten years have passed
and my bones are brittle with
my greatest fears

Million Miles an Hour


“There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.” 

-Sylvia Plath

The Perks of Being a Wallflower


"Dust"- A Poem


I have no words for you
And that is saying something
Every time I see you it’s just dust
The kind that you can’t ever
Seem to clean away
Or the kind that gets in your eyes
So you can’t see straight
Or even think straight for that matter.
