"The seed never sees the flower. It grows knowing it must become more than what it was. It changes because, in growth, all of its potential can be unlocked." - Shane Koyczan


Am I crazy? Or are you?

My head is full of thoughts and pain

No living human can erase.

My heart is full of jealousy,

My soul and all it's worth are nothing

Compared to the black hole which lives

In the deepest parts of my mind. 

My corporeal body reclines 

Upon that which I have discarded

From the dead garden of Eden

Which sits behind my eyes destined to whither

Until I can say and believe 

That it will be okay.

A bit of an obscure piece written long ago and hidden within my oldest notebook.
