She checks Postsecret every Sunday
Record player breaks every other day
and never stands still unless she's balanced in posse
Moccasins too old, jeans too frayed
and slightly faded, she's comfortably jaded
Makes lists in her head for comfort
like an oversized sweatshirt,
it's there if you ever need it
She's been taking a different route home
to avoid the relentlessly bumpy road that led to his-
Some things hit too close to home
She never drives without a co-pilot
but takes the curves too fast
She likes the color violet
because it makes everything seem more vast
One glance at the red string on her wrist and you can tell what she believes
These days she wears a heart on a necklace instead of on her sleeve

How to be in a good place
I've said your name until it became just a word
I've looked at your face until it became just a blur
I can sing, dance, smile my way through
as I continue getting farther away from you,
to a place which is sure to be a good place
And I've mastered just the right pace.
Lounging in bed, planning to wed-
Doesn't mean much when the feeling is dead
So I'm bounding off into what's next
Thanks for this overdue, positive effect.
Being in a good place isn't always the most comfortable,
but it's better than being comfortable in a bad one.

Circulatory Lesson #1
"Emotions can affect the human heart, but they do not control it."
As I sit in Human Bio, this statement leaps out at me. This lesson is true, the SA node allows for atrial contraction. Valves allow blood to flow into the proper chambers. Oxygenated blood is sent to vitalize the rest of the body, for all body systems are interconnected. The miracle that occurs in the heart is thus felt throughout the entire being. The gears of a tiny Music Box have the ability to create a light whimsical tune. Yes, that melody is the product, the music, the very element for which the Music Box has been named for, but at the end of the day it’s those gears that hold all responsibility. How comforting to know that blood flows, no matter where the heart figuratively goes. There’s a science to everything.
