So sure
Sew shore
Shows lure
Sore sure
Torture
8/20
Je veux pleurer quelquetemps
Parce que je n’étudie plus
Le langue français
Tu étais mon premiér amour,
Mon premiére passion
Je ne t’oublierai pas.
8/21
I forget the words in my head
But it’s not hard to do
When you’ve got a leak
Especially easy is it
when all the teachers pump you for information
causing what turns tension
8/22
Sometimes I wish my heart would stop feeling
Or my head would stop
Making assumptions
With poor logic
Then I wouldn’t have
This heaviness that overwhelms
8/23
I made a bad turn
And I didn’t hear a screech
But the bird raced past me
Some rednecks stopped
They got out shouting
Watch the fuck out
8/24
I try not to think about us
But I can’t help it
When I think about love, I always feel like everything has
been said
It’s redundant listening to my thoughts
But I can’t help it
When I think about us
8/25
In the boys’ disclipleship house,
There was prayer and the moving of the Spirit
I was astonished to see how natural the supernatural
appeared
There was no big commotion, but quietness and a stillness
There was peace in that place
God’s presence was moving
8/26
I’m not going to feel the weight of guilt
Or self-pity.
I am sinful, but forgiven
God is always merciful and I will move forward
Out of the freedom of Jesus’ blood
Soli Deo Gloria
8/27
You think that once you make a mistake that you’ve learned
your lesson.
I hadn’t
Jealousy, jilting, and spurned, I still have quite a thick
head
More than anything, I want to win him over just like my
relationship before
Because I’m so selfish.
Instead of going to the root of a solution, I try to
re-create the problem
8/28
I realize that I’m a very sentimental and emotional creature
I try to hide the softness because I’m afraid of being taken
advantaged of
It’s hard to let your heart out so that others can examine
it
It’s like peeling away that scab looking for the pink skin
You think it’s all healed, but actually ripping it hurts
even more
I suppose I should just let my scabs heal as well
8/29
Last year, you were supposed to keep your head in the game.
There’s always an excuse, however.
Were you so lonely that you ran away from work and
Pulled towards people- hypnotized
It’s a slow process to get back on schedule and rhythm
So target and aim
8/30
The thing about him is
That I can never seem to figure it out
Nothing adds up still
I’ve always been bad at numbers
But to calculate the difference
Is something else in this situation
8/31
A new day and a new turn of page
Sometimes friends come so easily
Other times, one has to chase them
I wonder how easy it might be to know
Whether to trust the heart of someone
Or in which way to turn away
9/1
She exclaims the ugliness of pregnancy
I understand that it must have such qualities
But I tell her if something goes in
It is natural for something to come out
At that, she laughs
As we go into the sushi bar
9/2
I have conversations every day on my phone
It’s a nice feeling to receive texts from people
I’m not sure what it is exactly when
You open your phone to see a message
Maybe I expect it to be something special
As I smile at the name
9/3
One roommate exclaims how she blew
Fifty dollars in one week on food
What a waste when it goes in and out so quickly
“So what if you’re mother killed you because you were
Going to die anyways?” asks her friend.
A grand point
9/4
I’m taking this poetry class
Because I want to learn how to write poetically
I want to publish something beautiful
Not some jargon rubbish that is printed neatly
I don’t quite know how to publish anything
I’ll get there someday
9/5
It’s so romantic when you walk with someone
When it’s raining
I felt embarrassed to come close because he’s his roommate
But he asked why are you so far away
For this, I came closer and felt the warmth
As we walked in much silence
