Here, have some things:

Seasons of SaplingsOut in the forest stands a little tree. Although small, it stands tall against icy bullets of rain through paralyzing frost and the strong winds of change. The rain and frost will return, but so will the sunshine.Others come and go. although some are gone traces remain, leaves wither into soil, rich grounds for the little tree to grow.Environments change. Rocks weathered by rain hills eroded yet the little tree still stands, thinking nothing of itself. All it can see is how much taller other trees are. But I see differently.Like the rock and hills it has weathered. I look in dismay at worn branches, stripped of bark and drying leaves, read... written on the sky:we sat on the roof of your house, breathing in stardust and the smell of each other, hoping for crystalline wishes to fly by. it was surreal, knowing that we'd only be seen by the moon, and our only guiding light would come from the stars. bizarre or not, i realised i can't keep breathing in asteroidal dusts thinking they're cosmic dregs to lap up. But it was all behind us now. You've been trapped by the heat of the sun for too long. Now, I'm going to show you the moon, and the stars. And as I open my eyes, the universe spins in tandem with our thoughts: this is it, everything we've dreamed of is (im)possibly here. The old song is over, T... aphrodite throws up in the club and shit goes wildIf a body falls In the        woods and   No one Is around 2 hear   it Did it really exist     Was a body ever              a body ever              a patch of  Un touched grass With no   sex or scratch    Upon it Did it ever have a stomach       in which things grew             Or were cultivated       Gardened Such as mountainous Or reddened fruit   ah       was it true   that old siren before the rocks bashed Her skull in    combing grey hairs into  the vomit ocean       where gods go to bcome nameless  my god is spilled milk And fluoxetine & being a bad personMy alter 2 Her is  a fallen body     in the woods         what doesn’t like 2...
