morning person?

waking while the morning dew sets and the first beams of warm sunlight creeps stealthily between the chinks of the blinds is considerably rejuvenating. my room seems to welcome my return from slumber: shiny-eyed dolls waiting to be held, strewn clothes waiting to be worn, forgotten books waiting to be read. i love to lay in my bed and reflect on the faraway places that my dreams have taken me, where my mind has led me to wander. i'm so afraid to decimate the overwhelming presence of silence that permeates throughout my whole house. but the oppressive emptiness in my core necessitates an arousal of the stillness. i am ravenous and on the search for some sort of sustenance. opening a new bag of cereal is exhilarating. really, it is. i love the smell of roasted almonds, corn flakes, and candied clusters drowned in sweet pure milk. simultaneously listening to tranquil music and enjoying my cereal while watching the day unfold through my windows is a lovely way to start off my day. today, i can take on anything life throws at me. mmhm, all is good.

deeeeeeep down whoa

 

today i...
-preserved the sanctity of my laptop and purged it of a vile and obnoxious virus.
-discovered a new word: yecchy, it means yucky.
-realized that i like to express myself insidiously.
-revitalized my love of language and literature.
-listened to "don't let me fall" by B.o.B. about 2398 times.
-stared at my autographed Adventures of Bobby Ray album in disbelief.
-GOT A RAISE! CHYEA BABY!

that is all. good night.

watching the day go by

the sun behind swaying branches.
i like the shadows that constantly move
across my eyelids when i close my eyes.
i think of fluttering butterflies,
and the wind blowing through my hair
is from the butterflies' flapping wings.
people walk back and forth.
i drown out the excess noise,
slowly breathe in and out.
i am at peace with myself.
