i guess i’ve been chasing art and love and life
in all kinds of wrong and right places,
in search of something that scares me — 
actually being seen.

i’m not used to…

i’m not used to relying on people,
but i’ve come to rely on your presence.

i’m not used to people knowing everything about me,
but you seem to have found out everything.

hey

i’ve been listening to chasing cars
while lying in the park by my apartment,
watching the planes go past.

it’s hard for me to talk about you to friends

this is my first time staying awake until midnight
since leaving the psych hospital.

but this one that i picked has stayed.

i made it all the way around the lake today,
and at the end,
i really didn’t know what to do.
