"Stand By"

As humans, it is our nature to fear the unknown.


---


You open your mouth and I hear the ocean, you smile at me and I'm soaking up the sun. I've become so accustomed to this easy breeze you fill my life with. And this constant sunshine leaves a permanent blush on my cheeks that I'm in love with. There's a long list of things I want, but it's etched in the sand ready to be washed out with the tide. You can't always get what you want.
So I'll ask questions I don't want to know the answer to, in hopes of something good coming out of my insanity; my inability to just let sleeping dogs slumber. I'd like a warning, a siren of when things take a turn for the worse so that I'm not swept up by the wind and sand, never to be seen or heard from again.


confession for the day? I wish I could put my brain on "stand by" so that I could stop over-thinking all the time.

I know a boy
Who tried to swallow the sun
Cut down his rage
And ease his addiction

I know a boy
Who tried to cover his tracks
Couldn’t write his own play
Because it had to many acts

I know a boy
Who tried to break apart the Earth
Attempting new things
To find out what he’s worth

I know a boy
Who tried to swallow the sea
And I tried to help him
Couldn’t just let it be

I know a boy
Who tried to hold my heart
He gave me sweet words
And tore me apart

I know a girl
Who tried to try
She’s taking his hand
And together they get by

I know a girl
Who tried to swallow the sun
Threw up her hands
And cried out in frustration

I know.
