spilled coffee
shapes the day
when your
surroundings are
made of noise
wanting to sit
this one out
to hide the
cuts and bruises
that dig deep
it’s ok to be empty
crushing the wild
with bitter tongue tied
revelations
makes you more human
from the inside
mixed messages
shot down in
crossfire extensions
just to bend to break
because you’re seen
wearing the crazy
on the scene
smashing hearts
to run the line that’s familiar
even if it’s not the right
place to catch your breath
stranded between
those who need to be saved
and the heart you keep
caged
bridges were built to last
for only a little while
because sometimes
they need to feel the sting
so you can save yourself
from deep center
purge the days that seems to
cling onto dead planets rising
and look what’s in front of you
there’s plenty of space
to unravel new shapes
