Still on the fence with my new formatting but I'm willing to let it grow on me.

He knows your favorite color.
He remembers the small things.
He gets an hour hr lunch but he makes the 20 minute drive home to eat with you, even though he only has 15 minutes until he has to go back.
He'll probably be late.
If he wanted to, he would.
If he loves you,
He will.

Pain paralysis
I can't move
I can't stretch
I can't stand and take something for it
All I know is the pain
All I can think about is the pain
All I can focus on is the pain
It hurts for now but I'll get through it.

That sounds like another poem in the works
100%! I'm extremely excited for the feathers I'll get to collect π
Shitty fucking men
Dressed up like fancy cupcakes
False advertising

I've been waiting for warmer weather to put anything out. Garrett got me a massive bag of unsalted peanuts but I want to wait until I can get some birds you to go with it so I can feed all the babies.
Well damn if I knew it would be that easy to attract a crow army I would have put out a pie a long time ago πππ
Mercury retrograde
I would ask you to be lenient
I would ask that you donβt spread chaos
I would ask that you skip my home
Weβve been through enough already
But water can never be dry
Ice can never be hot
Fire can never be cold
The retrograde
can never be calm

Thirty-five years old
Bend and crack like a glowstick

I really like that photo. You can see every tiny detail in the wood grain. It's so pretty
I am not an afterthought.
I refuse to let my priorities be neglected.
I am not a doormat.
I refuse to be walked all over.
I am not a wooden block.
I refuse to shave parts of my square down
to fit in a triangle hole.
I refuse.

π§ You have work to do.
ππ»ββοΈI know.
π§ You don't want to be called lazy do you?
ππ»ββοΈI'm not lazy, I'm in paralysis. There's a difference.
π§ For fuck's sake just get up.
ππ»ββοΈI told you, I'm in paralysis. I can't do that.
π§ What's wrong with you?
ππ»ββοΈ You tell me.

Grief is funny when someone toxic dies.
I knew how hateful they were.
I stayed away, but always observed.
How do you grieve?
How do you shed a tear
for someone so nasty?
Short answer: you donβt.
Grief is love.
If you donβt have love for them, they do not deserve your grief.

Fire horse power!!!!
Tongue against my skin
Fingers vice-grip every curve

You can give them a million treats but the fact that it's YOUR treat. Children are the same way πππ
They always act so rude when you don't share
Empty coffee cup
The sudden realization
Damn you past self... RUDE!

I like this one! The snow is a blank page until you tell the story.
Is it a snow angel?
A walk up and down the trail?
A handsome snowman?
Whatever it is will be a fun read indeed.
Creamy chicken soup
A semblance of normalcy
In a home cooked meal

My eyes see it all
But I chose to stay silent
Silent no longer
I didn't want fights
I wanted to keep the peace
Peaceful no longer
I have a strong voice
I'm going to fucking use it
Fearful no longer
I'm angry, tired
Worried about the future
Spiral no longer
Peace

Finally normalcy
My world spiraled in two weeks
Goddamn peace at last

Form a library, that's really clever
Imagine the stories they could tell
He's home
My heart is healing
The ache is finally quiet

Snow days,
Bus delays,
No school, time for fun and play.
Hot chocolate and coffee,
Cheesy noodles and soup,
We'll be okay, that's the honest truth.
So come home safe as you travel home
I swear the fuck if you do this again I'll smack you in the dome!
