Our Garden

You would think I was a freak

If I told you how often I fall off the edge

Of my thoughts

Into a sea

Of living breathing nothing

Except

I see the freak in you too

I see we have the same shattered glass

In our eyes

The same garden of dead flowers

Begging to bloom

As the sun comes to say hi

As it tries to beam on our brown leafs

Trying to dress us in green

I see we have matching scar tissue

On our too fast heartbeats

I also see patches of glass

Not yet broken

The reflection reveals something beautiful

Us in a patch of roses

Maybe rings

Maybe a child

Am I allowed to dream this big?

Should I dim down so no one will laugh with widened eyes?

Should I stay realistic?

Not too excited?

Fuck this
F

uck them

Hold my hand

I will dream big with every part of me

I will dream so we can be as big as we wanna be

I will dream so we can be us when we feel powerless

Dream with me

Be a freak with me

Lets jump

Dance

Make babies

Grow new leaves in our abundant garden

Begging for new seeds
