Helpfully absent:
Admittedly, I often am.
Planning is not my thing, nor
Partaking of a plan;
Yet here I still remain,
By a side for which I’ve cared,
Daring to concede
All days are not the same;
Yet good or bad, they’re shared.

Home
When I have nothing else to do
I can always laugh with you
And when I have nowhere else to stay
With you I never have to stay away
Daisy, Daisy
What joys do they find
In the sunlight and the rain?
How do they grow kind?
The flowers must be insane;
I wish they would come again.
Canvas
Trails unblazed in white
Mistakes trip onto the scene
Happy little trees
Brave
The choice is there tomorrow —
Whether or not you see —
If brave is something that you borrow
Or you stand on your own two feet.
Reminder to Self
Don’t forget to leave your heart open
To let the good vibes in
The bad ones will find their way
With or without you helping
Shadow
You saw me in the shadows
And I never felt more gratitude
You were what I needed
When I was sick of me, and wanted a you
Someone I could talk to
And pretend that I was almost normal with
You were pretending too
Probably the reason why
I allowed you to be near
I thought that I knew
All there was to fear.
Second Chances
I’ve let the days just pass me by
My reasons dwindle, flicker, die
The questions all have won, thinks I
I don’t much like the answers
But there’s the sun’s still doing what it should
And people trying to be good
Maybe the answer’s just a knock on wood
And the path of second chances.
Sibling
Whether the person that I like most
Or the one I least hate
Whether we argue, despite the cost
Or passionately debate
I know you’re the one who’ll stand by me
Whether I’m certain or unsure
And in my heart I know you’ll always be
My dearest only sister.
Impermanence
In a world devoid of permanence,
There’s only one thing you should know:
The greatest thing you can possess
Is the ability to let things go.
