reassuring words
for those moments when you don't feel like enough

a light
in the otherwise dark sea of life's unhappinesses

the ones 
who've been there 

for my best
and my worst

who love and stand by me,
give unfiltered opinions

hug me when life 
feels like too much

lends an ear to my thoughts
no matter how jumbled

to all of you,

arigato.

on the screen or in my life

keeps me from sleep

something in the mystique

begins to unravel
all the self love i keep

the negative thoughts about myself
never seem to end

neither does the perfectness of others

He's come for my soul.

But with a flick of his fingers, a countertop rose before me instead. ​

"Donuts. Sell them, or you die."
