you have that feeling&lt;br/&gt;
the feeling that you’re ready to take on a new challenge&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“let’s see how this one does!” you say as you walk down the boulevard&lt;br/&gt;
with what looks like the newest face in your life&lt;br/&gt;
how about that&lt;br/&gt;
it’s like you know&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it’s like you know it’ll stick like glue&lt;br/&gt;
and none of that preschool safety emlers crap&lt;br/&gt;
we’re talking heavy duty&lt;br/&gt;
tried and tested brown thick paste&lt;br/&gt;
the kind that’ll keep a solid gold bird feeder on a corroded fence for generations&lt;br/&gt;
liquid nails&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;that’s what this is to you&lt;br/&gt;
at least, that’s what I would think&lt;br/&gt;
you don’t seem to think that way&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you try things out as they come&lt;br/&gt;
you’re the guinea pig&lt;br/&gt;
you’ve been everywhere and back&lt;br/&gt;
and yet you still go with the flow&lt;br/&gt;
and at the same time, against&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you push the pendulum by moving with it&lt;br/&gt;
something no one could ever even fathom&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and here you are&lt;br/&gt;
it’ll work, you say&lt;br/&gt;
and I say&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;yeah, it will&lt;br/&gt;
for a while&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;those liquid nails will materialize&lt;br/&gt;
and fester into something more realistic&lt;br/&gt;
they’ll melt behind the base&lt;br/&gt;
and seep through the back&lt;br/&gt;
running down your brain&lt;br/&gt;
from the limbic core down to the cortex&lt;br/&gt;
and from there out your eye sockets&lt;br/&gt;
down your cheeks&lt;br/&gt;
your neck&lt;br/&gt;
your chest&lt;br/&gt;
and now look at your toes&lt;br/&gt;
you’re standing in a puddle of your own optimism&lt;br/&gt;
your high hopes&lt;br/&gt;
your assumptions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;that hot shot you thought you knew&lt;br/&gt;
you’ve seen nothing yet&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;just watch&lt;br/&gt;
or don’t&lt;br/&gt;
wherever the river tells you to run&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;here you are&lt;br/&gt;
and here am I&lt;br/&gt;
five months later&lt;br/&gt;
and I never left&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/28040251315</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/28040251315</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jul 2012 02:34:30 -0400</pubDate><category>poem</category><category>poetry</category><category>breakup</category><category>girls</category><category>dating</category><category>relationships</category></item><item><title>there is hope</title><description>&lt;p&gt;might not seem like it&lt;br/&gt;I know, I’ve been there&lt;br/&gt;I’ve been in such a deep and dark place as that&lt;br/&gt;you could pour your favorite beverage down my dumb deep dark depression hole&lt;br/&gt;and you’d never see it again&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but things change&lt;br/&gt;things happen &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sometimes hope just shows up&lt;br/&gt;like the kid from across the street asking for his ball back&lt;br/&gt;like an email from your long lost cousin&lt;br/&gt;asking where you’ve been and what you’re studying in college&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you didn’t ask for it, but you got it&lt;br/&gt;it happens right after the moment you can’t get any deeper&lt;br/&gt;someone or something just comes along and says “hey!&lt;br/&gt;there’s something else&lt;br/&gt;there’s other shit for you to screw up&lt;br/&gt;and I’m gonna show you how to enjoy it”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know you don’t believe me&lt;br/&gt;but hey, you’ve listened to me whine and complain before&lt;br/&gt;and look at me now&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;since you’ve given me the fucking time of day, I’m going to tell you a secret&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you don’t need it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;look, it caused you pain&lt;br/&gt;you think it would be better if it just hung around?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know it sucks&lt;br/&gt;I know&lt;br/&gt;I know&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it will come&lt;br/&gt;it will be at your door in the future&lt;br/&gt;more than once, even&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;all you have to do&lt;br/&gt;is wait&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;whenever that feeling comes&lt;br/&gt;that oh-so-familiar feeling&lt;br/&gt;that feeling that nothing could possibly come close to your pain&lt;br/&gt;that entire armies could die for you and it won&amp;#8217;t make a difference&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;whenever that feeling comes&lt;br/&gt;just say “look!&lt;br/&gt;this is shit&lt;br/&gt;everything is shit&lt;br/&gt;but I don’t need this shit&lt;br/&gt;better shit is coming&lt;br/&gt;and it will make me happy&lt;br/&gt;and I will be so ready to see it&lt;br/&gt;hello shit&lt;br/&gt;I’m here for you”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;patience, that’s all it is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it takes time, and I know&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know&lt;br/&gt;any mention of that fucking word&lt;br/&gt;causes the emotional volcano to ejaculate&lt;br/&gt;but it’s real&lt;br/&gt;and it’s all you have&lt;br/&gt;take it&lt;br/&gt;take time&lt;br/&gt;it’ll take it from you&lt;br/&gt;take it back&lt;br/&gt;just wait&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hope will come &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/27364523077</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/27364523077</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2012 01:29:38 -0400</pubDate><category>poem</category><category>poetry</category><category>hope</category><category>depression</category><category>for emmy</category></item><item><title>sometimes</title><description>&lt;p&gt;sometimes I find myself wondering&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“how is this even possible?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;how am I able to sit here in my room and cry about a girl just because we happened to spend a good chunk of time together?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;talking about old rock music and horror movies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; and how our parents won’t be flexible with our personalities&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;how we’d come home and my mom would say&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘rooms off limits! you’re going to have to get creative.’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;how is it possible for our parents to even think that way?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;differently from ours&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;having no clue what kind of chemistry we had&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;no clue what love even was in our eyes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;how was it even possible to love?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;is love even real?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;how am I able to think about all of these things whilst simultaneously thinking about what I could’ve done wrong?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;did I do anything wrong?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;was there even a possibility that anything could’ve gone wrong?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;what even is that?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;is anything possible?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;and if so, how?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;who did this?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;who had the idea and the sense and the nerve to do a fucking thing like this?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;to create a world full of beings who cried all over each other&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;to create a world of beings who questioned the world they lived on&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;why isn’t it easier?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;why can’t I just&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;why can’t this just be&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;easier..”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that’s my mind&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;that’s how I think&lt;br/&gt;I’d call it an enigma&lt;br/&gt;but it just feels more like a junkyard&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the junkyard you see in movies&lt;br/&gt;the one with the torn couches and the broken blenders&lt;br/&gt;and right on top of that glorious pile of shit&lt;br/&gt;is that toy crown you’ve always wanted&lt;br/&gt;the golden treasure&lt;br/&gt;in a world of trash&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had that crown&lt;br/&gt;but I threw it back in the pile&lt;br/&gt;I didn’t realize it was treasure&lt;br/&gt;and now I’m crying&lt;br/&gt;just because of that one chunk&lt;br/&gt;the everything thing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;everything&lt;br/&gt;is there&lt;br/&gt;but only sometimes&lt;br/&gt;is it here &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26805596488</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26805596488</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jul 2012 01:18:58 -0400</pubDate><category>poem</category><category>poetry</category></item><item><title>Whenever I see you, you never look the same

&lt;p&gt;Some days you wear that thin layer of black across your eyes&lt;br/&gt;
And some days you don&amp;#8217;t&lt;br/&gt;
Some days your lips are glazed with that stunning shade of crimson&lt;br/&gt;
Other days they&amp;#8217;re simply bare, pink and plump and ready to touch someone else who&amp;#8217;s lucky enough to gain your favor&lt;br/&gt;
As hard as that may be&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some days you&amp;#8217;re wearing a hat&lt;br/&gt;
Not always, but it&amp;#8217;s definitely worth noting&lt;br/&gt;
It always has a brim, just slightly draping over those bright, bold eyes&lt;br/&gt;
As if to say, &amp;#8220;come closer. only the brave deserve to bask in the glory of this visage.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some days your ears sport lovely little diamonds&lt;br/&gt;
Flashy, yet not enough to get a man too excited&lt;br/&gt;
A nice conversation piece&lt;br/&gt;
They hang right above your thoughts of disposition&lt;br/&gt;
Look at them&lt;br/&gt;
So distressing that you feel the need to hang a little sunshine over them&lt;br/&gt;
To scare them off&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You forget about those depressing commodities when &amp;#8220;oh hello! What nice earrings you&amp;#8217;re wearing!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And finally, some days, you wear nothing&lt;br/&gt;
A blank canvas ready to be written upon&lt;br/&gt;
Ready for a &amp;#8220;once upon a time&amp;#8221;&lt;br/&gt;
And more importantly, a &amp;#8220;happily ever after&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26684868444</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26684868444</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Jul 2012 02:40:46 -0400</pubDate><category>poem</category><category>poetry</category><category>beauty</category></item><item><title>I assume the worst too much</title><description>&lt;p&gt;It consumes me like a ravaging dog who’s found roadkill&lt;br/&gt;
Like a housecat who’s just been given her daily dose of beautiful processed tuna-look-a-like mush&lt;br/&gt;
Like the monsters we’d see in old horror movies&lt;br/&gt;
Like the beasts you’d read about&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Like the maniacal cannibalistic stranger your parents always tell you about&lt;br/&gt;
Who kidnaps little children and takes them home&lt;br/&gt;
Only to be greeted by his exquisite collection of cutlery&lt;br/&gt;
And let’s not forget the guillotine&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m Jonah&lt;br/&gt;
Swallowed by the giant crustacean that is my imagination&lt;br/&gt;
Holed up in the back of your throat&lt;br/&gt;
Surrounded by gums and krill&lt;br/&gt;
With no future to look forward to&lt;br/&gt;
Just endless endless spit&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yeah&lt;br/&gt;
I’m that fairytale&lt;br/&gt;
But without the happy ending&lt;br/&gt;
No blowhole&lt;br/&gt;
No savior&lt;br/&gt;
No projectile onto the beach and being left to rot&lt;br/&gt;
No Ninevah&lt;br/&gt;
Just everlasting spit&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gallons and gallons of spit&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whoever believes in me&lt;br/&gt;
Shall gain everlasting spit&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So much&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Watch it consume me&lt;br/&gt;
Devour me&lt;br/&gt;
The thought&lt;br/&gt;
Of you&lt;br/&gt;
With someone else&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26473766747</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26473766747</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:50:43 -0400</pubDate><category>poem</category><category>poetry</category><category>doubt</category><category>depression</category></item><item><title>people are stupid</title><description>&lt;p&gt;people are stupid&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26314432275</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26314432275</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jul 2012 21:38:44 -0400</pubDate><category>poetry</category></item><item><title>let&amp;#8217;s think

how should i say this&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;your friend always told me what i wanted to hear&lt;br/&gt;
but now i have to think&lt;br/&gt;
did he just&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;in that one moment&lt;br/&gt;
the moment when i thought we both felt the exact same&lt;br/&gt;
were you&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;did you just give me a chance&lt;br/&gt;
just so i&amp;#8217;d get away after you left?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;why&lt;br/&gt;
i waited for too long&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;why would you want someone to treat you like dirt&lt;br/&gt;
what the fuck do you tell him&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and see&lt;br/&gt;
yet&lt;br/&gt;
i still would give anything&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;but&lt;br/&gt;
still&lt;br/&gt;
is it true?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;did you just&lt;/p&gt;

Several noise machines were droning&lt;br/&gt;
You stood, stoic of the others&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You pushed your hair back&lt;br/&gt;
It was blonde with green ends&lt;br/&gt;
I was unsure if it was intentional or not&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One strum and you were off&lt;br/&gt;
Into the sky with colors and smoke&lt;br/&gt;
The others were mesmerized&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You flew&lt;br/&gt;
Your parka blew in the artificial yet natural breeze&lt;br/&gt;
The impact you had on the atmosphere was&lt;br/&gt;
Remarkable&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Watch the curtains&lt;br/&gt;
They make way&lt;br/&gt;
For you&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;your eyes are all bloodshot&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Impossible&lt;br/&gt;
How in the world&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The afterparty&lt;br/&gt;
You were on the couch, drinking or smoking, I can&amp;#8217;t remember which&lt;br/&gt;
It was dark&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I slowly edged up and all I heard was&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;YOU.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I felt the most warm embrace&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And then&lt;br/&gt;
In that perfect moment&lt;br/&gt;
I longed for what happened next&lt;br/&gt;
But only then&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Did I wake up&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26150831090</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26150831090</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jun 2012 13:26:46 -0400</pubDate><category>poem</category><category>poetry</category></item><item><title>You xylo, you so no fi lo, you so, don go fi, you so fi no, you xylo no, you so, no fi, lo xylo, you...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;You xylo, you so no fi lo, you so, don go fi, you so fi no, you xylo no, you so, no fi, lo xylo, you so, you xo lo ni fo, oh lo, you so&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26070374727</link><guid>http://acollision.tumblr.com/post/26070374727</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2012 10:10:25 -0400</pubDate><category>test</category></item></channel></rss>
