Fairytale

Why does this fairytale have a taffy like taste to it,
Getting stuck in my teeth
While my brain pays a visit to the depths of hell. 
Can't I stay in the safety of the mainland?
No, I better walk this line from the Empire State to Los Angeles. 
And getting stuck in Kansas. 
"Dorothy, I'm not New York anymore," 
I'm in stop and go traffic with my thoughts. 
"Should I stay or should I go now," 
Well I want you to stay.
So I won't have 
To walk the line.

    when it comes true

    when my dream is found, 

    my goals reached, 

    will I be fulfilled? 

    will the future be everything I’d hoped, 

    or a letdown

    a saddening realization of truth 

  • The wanderer

    The stone wall upon which he sits is crumbling, rough and moss covered, but it is home. 
    He stares up at the migrating geese, their honks loud and clear in the crisp air. 

  • Not ready

    When the world is dark, and the stars are out 

    My mind comes alive. 

    I drown alone in my thoughts with a smile on my face, 

    And let myself get lost, 

    Because I know I’ll be found.
