as i wait for sleep,
cool air and warm coverings,
but sleep just doesn’t....

the new year tells me
i’m that much closer
to the end of everything.

i have never been
a tough person.
i quit when things get hard.
i cry easily for myself.
i hide so i can pretend to be safe.

i climb up into the trees
to look around,
but i’m lost in this world.
there is safety up here,
but not for me.

are you one of those people
who gets an idea for something
and then goes and does that something?
do you realize how fucking lucky you are
to be one of those people?
