i thought i'd like to write a <div class="highlight">poem</div>
that was like a <div class="highlight">game</div>
[[hello]]hello i thought i
i thought i'd like to write
a <div class="highlight">poem</div> about who i was seven years ago
when i sat on a bench in a park
and wished i had the courage to jump off
the bridge
just feet away
i'd like to write a <div class="highlight">game</div> about how i
walked home
and the french fries i'd bought after
school were cold
and eating them felt like
a reminder of <div class="colortext">failure</div>
and the ground that was too solid
that i was too <div class="colortext">scared</div>
and angry
to
leave
[[good evening]]good evening, i
thought i'd like to write a <div class="highlight">poem</div>
about who i was eighteen months ago
when i sat on a couch in my dorn and
shriveled into myself
i think,
i'd like to write a <div class="highlight">game</div> about
how i wanted to be asleep all the time
because if i was alseep i didn't have to
think
(
and <div class="highlight">t h i n k</div>)
about how the ground was still too solid
and i was still too
<div class="colortext">scared</div>
[[good night]]good night and i think,
i'd like to write a <div class="highlight">poem</div>
i'd like to write a <div class="highlight">game</div> about who i am
now
and how fucking <div class="colortext"><i>happy</i></div> i am
i want to write about how i am
surrounded by
Warmth,
and bathing in affection
and appreciation for the people who love
me and who have
given me so much
of themselves
to <div class="highlight">treasure</div>
and i want to write about how i am awake
and i'm
<div class="colortext">Out</div>
in <div class="colortext">daylight</div>
and how i'll leave no french fry uneaten
(i won't make that mistake again)
[[i love you]]i love you and i think i
i wanted to write a <div class="highlight">poem</div>
because nowadays my heart is full to
bursting, and
because i am <div class="colortext">Satisfied</div>
and also
i wanted to state for the record
that i feel loved
(i wanted to say that because for me that's a big deal)
<p>and that i am allowing myself to love
the people i care most about
(and trying to do so without overthinking it)</p>
and that i am allowing myself to love
Me
(with only slight [[reservation]])i love you and i think i wanted to write a <div class="highlight">game</div>
that might be a <div class="highlight">poem</div>
or a <div class="highlight">poem</div>
that might be a <div class="highlight">game</div>
because i am not a poet
and i know nothing about poetry
but i do know how it feels
what it means to [[click]] throughto Interact with someone else's
<div class="highlight">Emotions</div>
hold their heart on the edge of your mouse pointer
and feel that you have gained something
and feel
[[Satisfied|hello good evening good night i love you]]
