Im sitting here alone on my bedroom floor

Hoping that its good,

What tomorrow has in store

Or the day after that

My time here is up

I have to leave soon

So i can live my life in a better tune

A better tomb

I cant die here

My body is tired

And apparently im queer?

This feels pretty good, to write what i feel

I joke, but seriously, before my fate’s sealed:

I know i can find it,

Its up on the shelf

Right where i left it the last time

i felt i that couldnt be with myself

The will to live, to be happy as well

Its hard to keep the light when i feel like im in hell

Its there though, its right here now, in my hands

Ive made the decision, for the moment, to stand

I hope that it lasts, i know it might not

But ill keep this reminder, these memories in my heart

Ill pilot my body in persue of a dream

However foolish they, or i think that may be

Myself, my love, and my memories are the only things ill 100% always have

Ill cherish this feeling and walk down the ave

A new, avenue, but ive been here before?

It looks so different, but ill remember it more

Alone is the word that i cant help but hate

Ive felt it for so long. Isnt it great? /s

Alone not of company, but a specific bond

People tell me it doesnt mean that much

Maybe, so i think what i really need, and desire in truth,

Is the sharing of happiness and eternal youth

The feeling, that is, and with a good person

Rid of labels, and well meaning, but empty promises of being certain

All i will truly ever need

Is a person to be close with in my life that likes me for all of me

And in return ill be that person for her, too, to see

Dont lock the door, the one with love on your heart

Ive felt it before, its one of the hardest parts

If you just keep it cracked, even pulled against the frame,

i can slide you some help, for each other we can do the same

You’re special to me, Im so glad that you came

No one is perfect, people can hurt each other with the things they do or say

Thats why forgiveness, understanding, and unconditional love, and moving forward is the way

What really matters is what you do after, anyway

I know you need space, i did too today

Just know that im still here, i wont get in your way

(but if i mess up, as im prone to do, please say)

I hope youll be here, too, when my eyes feel grey

Im always wishing that you have a good day

It will be okay

As i get older, i figure more and more out

About how i feel and the world that goes round

We all need someone to remind us that theres light

In those blinding dark moments when you really feel down

My seed of happiness, i can feel it starting to grow

Of my own will and my own accord

I cant wait to see you again

Because, to you, i can show (it)
