Poetry 
Has the power to polish life
The world 
A fingernail brighter 
Enough to bring the sparkle out in your eye 
Draw your attention to the ravenings of your mad heart 
Enough even to highlight the flashlight shining from another mad heart 
But your insanity could be playing pretend with your brain 
Only the comets know what is real. 

Oh god I want to create 

And I want to live life I 

Want to be bright and fast and streak across the sky on fire

Madly happy

In love 

Laughing 


I want to get out of my own skin 

I want to burn away my bones 

And supernova my heart

Explosion of emotion 

I want to wrap myself in the cords of vulnerability and affection 


Honest to goodness 

I want to smile with firelight in my eyes 

No more polite grins

Stretched thin, 

Blue

And empty. 

I want to unfold my wings 

And take off, 

See the whole world in true clarity 

And heart breaking color.
