Conflicted Dreamer

I’m a conflicted dreamer who longs to settle down but can’t settle

I keep chasing dreams while leaving others on my pillow. There as a constant reminder before I go to sleep every night

They creep off the pillow into my thoughts and keep me awake

An adventurous homebody who wants to take over the world but stay grounded

A constant battle between my wings and roots, a battle that I don’t think will ever be won by either side

Teddy Bears and Pain Killers

Teddy bears and pain killers

Children and hospital gowns

One instance where opposites should not attract

Some of the strongest hearts beating but you’d never know it by their pulse readings

Why must bicycle wheels turn into wheelchairs?

And running through playgrounds become only thoughts running through dreamers heads in ICU

Well you see, these strong hearts teach us life is not all about circumstance

Because their smiles shatter adversity

Thriving with a taste for life that most of us don't even have a pallet for

When the true definition of strength has nothing to do with brawn and power but everything to do with courage and joy.

They are the heroes, the ones in capes that drape bravery

Heroes who's superpower is vision, because they are part of a small group who doesn't see life through the zombie lens of society.

They see life through a lens only those who have stared death in the face daily have a prescription for. 

Curved Lips

Curved lips met, turning goodbye into a temporary condition and hello into the best part of everyday

For what was once a kiss is now an expression of “you're my constant uncontrolled variable.” The “I will always be here as long as you are here to meet me”

A Cold heart met a lost soul

And those lips memorized more than physical curves but the curves of each others past

Because kisses that speak eternity are felt deeper and spoke louder than words alone
