It's hard to write in company.
This is where I vent toxins
express my pain
and let the darkness in me out to play
But with you
life is not as dark
or as painful
Without doing anything
You've somehow lightened my burden
Just by sitting there
I don't feel that I'm
facing my darkness by myself
And while I'm not all together
I am more okay with you
than I am alone.

(AN: These two poems are dedicated to someone known as Steve, who I hung out with on the day that I wrote them. He kindly gave me his company and for that I am forever grateful. I love you very much Steve. Please take better care of yourself or I will actually follow through on my threats to track down and confiscate your V.
They are also dedicated to Emma, Divya, and Iris. You three have become rocks in my life. I am blessed to have you, just as I am blessed to have Steve. I'm glad you guys stayed even when I fell apart. Thank you.)
