i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
"ca-CAW ca-CAW, tookie-tookie..."

stress.
everywhere i turn there are expectations that i have to meet.
i'm not big on expectations.
i hate the repercussions for failing to meet them more.
i'm working to stay positive but i feel myself slipping backwards and no amount of running is making progress.

i'm drowning and the sea vultures i drew on the boy's white board are coming for me. if i believed in regrets, i may right now be regretting making them up . . .


0 people are so beautiful... to me...
