the writing’s done
this masterpiece complete
the realization of your work
chills you head to feet
At fell of dark, when children sleep, I tortured college-lined notebooks
with incontinent feels. Brain-flooding at dark was inevitable after that
Crying, kicking, screaming
Tired of the yelling
In the car and to the office
Face to face; eyes burning
It will be ok
At least that's what I said
I don't want to do it
I'll never be better

THE BOOK
A book made of secrets,
from the bottom of the lake,
the shattered home life,
and the top of the Catskills.
She is happy, she is sad.
She is excited, she is afraid.
She is confident, she is scared.
She is loved, she is alone.
These words are a salvation
that flows from the need in my chest
through my arms
and out my flying fingertips
These words are a salvation
stemmed from the same feelings
and whirls of thought
Being in love is like
Being on cloud nine is like
Lemon drops and gum drops is like
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is like
Every kid’s dream come true is like
Disney keeps on inspiring is like
