"Normal" - by 123

Someone is being born tonight

Someone is getting married and someone is dying

Me?

I am sitting on my ass on the couch.

I don’t have the courage to go out and don’t have the fortune of having a significant other

I have no confidence besides the liquid kind

Lump on the couch...all I am and all I am worth

Yes

I feel like that now

Tomorrow I may be energized to be more. I forever live in this conundrum.

I breathe deep, hoping for a better day tomorrow

"Glass Slippers Don't Come in Size 11" - Anonymous

once upon a time...
the phrase ingrained into the childhood
of every little girl
who dreams of the day
that her prince will come
and sweep her off her feet.
but why does everyone always talk about finding the love of your life,
as if merely meeting the man will be the crowning achievement?
why doesn't anyone ever warn the wide-eyed little girl
that when you find your prince, he might not love you back?
or that it might not be a prince at all?
no longer hoping for happily ever after...
now i settle for a smile every once in a while.

"Every Time" by 123

Every time I see you, I fall deeper into the abyss of love
It starts slowly, but I always feel it happening.
The weakness, the shortness of breath...it happens in an instant.
It's only you that I see
I stand tall and try to hide it, but I know you know.
I see the smirk...I study your thick lips
They are like pillows for my own.
I see the concentration in your eyes
They are like pools of eternal life.
I see your hips move towards mine
They are moved by something we cannot control.

"Look" - By 123

I see your photo and I salivate.
I hear your voice and I can't concentrate.
I taste your skin and I accumulate
Memories that make my heart allocate
You to a special place.
Then I concentrate...
Focus and cultivate
Ideas that will make you mine.
