Air

"There are too many good people being crushed by the heaviness of air."

Me

Stop telling yourself that you are lazy

Stop convincing yourself that you're crazy

Stop over-explaining, over-investing, and over-dwelling

Practice breathing, focus

Eat slowly, and with purpose

Instead Of My Own Pair

"Where am I going? Backwards to nowhere
In another man's shoes instead of my own pair
I promised discretion and to be at her beck and call
I look like a dandelion and feel like a wreckin' ball
I ran out of wishes and then she came to offer hers
Lookin' at myself in the mirror,
I'm at a loss for words
I'm good at my job, goin' out of my mind kinda
Holding my face in my hands like fine China"

Not That I Over-Think It

Part of me wants you for myself
and part of me wants you to be happy

Part of me wants you to be happy
and part of me wants you for myself


There are several varying ways that I could approach depicting this (minuscule) scenario, the problem is that all of them are as likely to be true as the next. 
First, you contacted me solely to share the bit of information that you did, with the intention of it turning me off to the said person. Second, you told me what you did because you very much did not want me to misunderstand the situation, and what you know that I saw of it, and what you assumed that I assumed. Third, you were genuinely upset about what you explained that you were sad about, and you thought to talk to me regarding it. Fourth, you merely were thinking of me, and wanted some excuse to talk for a moment. Fifth, your motive was purely to see how I would react. Sixth, you had been drinking, and put no thought into talking with me whatsoever.

Walk Into Rooms

"i used to walk into rooms wondering if people liked me, now i walk into rooms wondering if i like them."

Sick Of It

I'll be the one

to make certain that things do not go the way that you mapped out inside your head 
there is nothing more to say
there is nothing more to say
you're sick of my attitude
you can go away

Sentimental Song

"spare me
the I know, I've been there
sentiment
sense a sentimental song
coming on
run along
before I ask you to dance
and all you get is
trampled on"

Never Fully

"he never fully disappoints me

because I know him

and I don't expect him to be any more or less than who he is"

"I can still taste the shiver of realizing that movement works both ways, that if love isn't permanent, then so is it's absence, that closing a door, is not the same as locking it
twelve years later, her and I are still learning that there are no rules firm enough to keep two hearts together, or apart
there's nothing wrong with building a house that may one day be empty
with spinning a myth, and keeping it open-ended
with keeping a spare key in your pocket"

You Said It's Over

Good Talk, Mom

"she has too much free time
she thinks too much
and she is obsessed with herself

your mind is unhealthy

you are making problems in your head
they're all in their head"

Encasing

I am looking in the mirror

so obsessed with myself

as everyone who looks in a mirror

I made chilling eye contact

with the eyes inside

and I give thanks to god

that I am so far from the ones that I love most

so they cannot see me like this

"be still my heart

this could be a brand new start"
