Why So Serious?

Every now and then,

I try to take a step back

and analyze stuff.

I go back and reread

over

and over

and over again

think

and rethink

about stuff that I've thought about

and stuff that I , and others, have said.

And if you really think about it,

we blow a lot of things out of proportion

I think that a lot of the stuff teenagers freak out about,

or care so much about,

really isn't that exciting..

and the stuff adults stress over?

pshhh

not so bad.

Just look at it in perspective

things could be worse.

Sometimes,

everyone just needs to take a deep breath,

think about life,

step back,

and chill out.

I know I need to do so.

The Silence I've Been Searching For

Maybe when the time is right,

the best thing to do is say nothing.

To speak silence.

When you don't open your mouth,

the wrong words don't come out.

I've been searching for the right ones,

you bet I have,

more than just an "I love you."

More than just "You are everything I dream and look forward too"

More than saying "I've missed you"

I struggle to know if you feel as strongly as I do.

It's hard to tell sometimes.

And that's all right,

I tend to talk more anyways.

But I've realized that I know you love me,

and you haven't needed to say a word.

Maybe that's the kind of communication I've been looking for...

Maybe I need to speak silence to tell you how much you mean to me.
