Brave foreign journey
Cool breeze over cobblestones
Bonds not how once seen
Looking down at cities, towns, and farmlands, they’re fragmented like glass shards by roads, railways, and edges of fields.

To allow him to run back.
For a dear friend, with love.
Some days, I want to live forever in the morning…

The biting, cutting lines and brutal phrases…
Someday I will finally have had enough.
When I feel an urge to talk about something I feel passionate about, something I’m excited about, something I feel good about — now I try to remember to stop, think, realize that the people around me are not interested and I must keep it to myself. I seal my mouth, suppress the urge, and feel the ache spread from my chest through my arm.
