Poems from ztstevens
among these pages you may find
the hidden secrets of my mind
and should you care to journey on
bring a long a bit of song,
for in these pages you will find
the darkest secrets of my life
everything i have
done
said
thought
read
it all comes down to this;
how can i fly,
when all i know is falling?
to fly is to accept...
im stilll smoldering
from when you set
my soul on fire.
I let my heart catch,
and you let it burn
until it was to bright
for you to look...
i always was the one to outdo,
to overexert
i was the muddy,
brawling,
funny one.
I was not prim or proper
but i knew where i stood....
sometimes,
i wish i was dead.
and others
i don’t think
i could feel more alive.
I know you’ve seen them...
the bodies.
They were once young and plump and cheerful.
Now they are older and vow to be skinnier and happier...
