Sometimes

I wanted to write down exactly how I felt

I wanted to forget your name and after 7 shots,

yours is all I can remember

these broken syllables reflecting off my thickened tongue

 

Sometimes you need someone

to tell you that you're not as terrible as you think you are

and sometimes the darkness is your bestfriend

and sometimes before it gets better the darkness gets bigger

 

sometimes we build walls around our hearts

then question why no one loves us

and sometimes we need to remember that even broken crayons still color

that people are like clocks, no one can tell when they stopped ticking

Sometimes we need to be told that

where we see flaws as weeds someone else sees roses

 

So I wanted to write down exactly how I felt,

but somehow the paper stayed empty

and i couldn't of described it any better.
