Staying up too late with friends
Souer kirsch mit peanut butter
Learning to deal with an
Anxious loved one
I am so, so proud of you
So I am proud of us
We dance like 3 sausages
Nurnburgers
Exposing on a hot plate
And if you start to feel
The deep fog settling in
Don’t worry
I will guide you
With silence
And being
Insanity can be beautiful
Hurting people is not beautiful
Self obsession is not beautiful
But when it passes
It is a like a million setting sons
Into an ocean of warm absenthe
Cat pictures just might
Save the world
Saving the world
Just might destroy
The universe
Saving ourselves
Shaving our cells
Shaving our shelves
Showering our shoulders
Okay
We are all scared
The bravest thing is to admit it
The bravest thing is the be afraid
The bravest thing is not to fight
The grass will grow back
The bumps will smooth over
The gas stations will come and go
The angel wings flutter
Like un plugged guitar strings
We let them pull us
Pull us into the lake water
We will swim like fish
We will let ourselves
Be caught in the nets
We will allow ourselves to
Be eaten.
It is the best for now
