Mad Rain

In your light I learn to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you.
But sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

Ryno-Today is your birthday. Right now, I would give anything to go dinosaur-towelled cupcaking with you!! "Yes, yes you can major in friendships." I miss our talks, your random happy texts, your smile, your hugs. RAT-A-TAT-TAT, RAT-A,RAT-A-TAT-TAT! You come back to me daily...a thought, a smile, a bittersweet reminder...so many little memories...your light touched every shadow of my life. You gave me strength, hope, and an endless supply of happiness. I would not have gotten through last summer without you. Your encouraging words and unwavering faith served as a courageous example of the kind of friend I want to be. Watchmen and Rubio's will always be "ours for the taking". :)

Happy Birthday, Ryno. I love you...

Who Am I?

I care too much.
I worry too often.
I trust too easily.
I hold on for too long.
I take things too personally.
I love deeply, too completely.
I have to learn some lessons the hard way.
I know that nothing worth having is ever easy.

I feel...
disconnected from this world.
as if I don’t quite belong here.
lost.
incomplete.
afraid of all that is before me.
completely unsure of myself.

I am...
constantly distracted
highly caffeinated
artful minded
often displaced
slightly OCD
easily amused
very stubborn
possibly radioactive
usually peaceful
overly independent
creatively random

I Am inspired by...
My friends,
what they have taught me,
about life, about myself,
about love, and loss…
I am who I am because of you.
I am forever changed, eternally grateful.
You know who you are.
