A LEIGH S: The Overflow

Inside

Life breathes heavily around you
You sit Indian style centered in your room

The sun breaks through the blinds
But you ignore her heated stare

Shadow

He has a loyalty that mirrors a shadow
Willing to follow me wherever I go

And in the darkest moments
He becomes one with me.

Allowing me to disclose my secret memories

Build me a patio

So we can sit in silence talking about the rain

Dear Rain

I've been waiting for you all day.

Just because it's better than the past

Doesn't mean it's good enough for the future.

Standards change everyday

Dream bigger.

I believe in fairytales

I need someone to understand why
and not judge me for it

I think bigger than my reality

I ignore my intuition and try to cover it with my idea of happily ever after

I make believe that everything is perfect

I say, everything's gonna be alright

Even when I don't believe it myself.

I think that I can think things into reality.

I believe in the law of attraction,

that. What I think about ,I bring about

So I refuse to think the worst of you

Of me

Of life

Lately I've been Disturbed
By the ghosts
Of my greatest mistakes

Mistakes that I don't know for sure that I learned from

Sometimes it still hurts
Makes me feel an uncertain way

Feels like regret
Feels Like betrayal
Like a Nightmare.

I've lost track of the number times I've spilled a cup of ice and/or water this week, and I wonder what it means. Is this some weird symbolism of my cup running over or could it be that its running away from me because I consistently leave it partially empty.
