Hopeful, just yet

The 13th,
I'm thinking of it
with some fondness
the morning is fresh
so I have all the hours
to do with it
what I want.

Blank

I feel much better
which might be shitty
but I don't think I care.

Champion

When you move place to place
you stay light and quick
get rid of what you don't need
keep what you do.

Everything I own fits in my car.

I can sleep anywhere if I need to.

The longer you stay,
the heavier you get.
Your things sink into the ground your house grows on
and the roots lock in as deep as they can hold.

18 years seems so long to then rip the bandaid.
I have friends who have lived in the same house their whole life.

I've got a few constants.
They feel like comfort.

I can never find light switches in unfamiliar bathrooms.
I find myself zombie walking in the dark.

I wonder if some day I'll let the sand settle down into cracks.
Grow heavy, sink.

I can't imagine keeping myself in one place for more than 6 years.

But I'm sure I'll lose track of time eventually.

Wow.

Wow
love bubbles
it always bubbles
I think of emotion
as a pot heats up.
I wonder what a boil over signifies.

12:02 am

I decided I was done.
So I am.
Finish up.

Room 1302

Motivation is easy for,
date at night
my brain is a tank
and I am an idiot

held full

submarine is a word
that makes perfect sense

I love the overlap of language.

I've got blisters and dreams

catch me, but I don't think you can.

Up

I'm sorry
because you're a good notebook
but I feel sort of
stuck in you

I need to write
again and again

to get over it.

Out of it

Move to
another

a new.

Something fresh and

soon.
