if thoughts could talk, id keep my mouth shut.

if thoughts could talk, i’d keep my mouth shut.

its crazy how life goes on
treating us like sinking stones.
photographs capture the essence of one
emotions rise to the top
they live under your skin.
you can smell the memories
as they make their way to the top
people come and people go
some of us run and some of us know.
its hard to comprehend.
we cannot calculate the future.
for it is unknown. but we can change
the past, to pretend its not what it was
you weren't who you were.
don't live a lie, but don't lie and live.
its a paradox i tell you
no matter how you look at it.
you are the center of the universe
and everything revolves around you.
so don't get on your knees
don't pull your hands together
don't shut your eye lids and bow your head
because migraines are painful reminders
that some of us aren't dead.
