I stepped outside the door and I
flew out of my mind because I
just thought you should know.
I told you everything I swore
that I would keep inside but I
just thought you should know.
I don't know where I am right now
I feel a little weightless and
I wonder if that's right.
New questions rise where old ones fell
I feel a little naked and
I wonder if that's right.
Am I being told what to feel?
If so, I guess, I think, I know
...it's better than what I'd had.
To see the picture on my own
instead of through a mottled lens
is better than going mad.

Literature
i.
Within blue eyes
anemone and starfish
abound, and seaweed eyelashes
move leisurely with the tides.
At sunset they sparkle,
lined with golden sand
and swirling without a sure direction,
becoming cloudy as a storm brews.
Beware, anger flashes across the surface,
where riptides catch the unwary
ships and sailors, wrecked
and broken amongst its depths.
Only the brave venture in,
attracted by the untameable,
roaring waves and sharp wind.
Eyes stinging, they enter the battle.
Slowly they themselves become blue,
the cold clinging to their skin,
sucking out all their warmth.
Then white as stone,
lips cracked and filled with salt
that leaves a bitter

For my counselor. I wrote this basically ten seconds after I stepped out of her office today. It was an...unusual session.
The fifth stanza is a bit less awkward now. Thanks, to everybody who gave me advice!
