A Drink to New Things

by hayley*virgo - Aquarius

I love to talk to myself
in mirrors and create simply
perfect worlds of conversations and outcomes
where I am truly strong, yet completely honest
and there are no ghosts.
(only kindred spirits)
One day, I'll take this paper bag off my head
and the light won't hurt my eyes,
because right now I know that they are blue,
even though In only see in black and white and grey
(and hey, i won't lie, brown shows up every once in a while)
But since you strayed from the yellow-brick road
It's not my business to direct you back to the emerald life,
you can go ahead and be devoured by flying monkeys
for all i care
and you can assume that this is just the vodka talking,
but i am serious;
I'm falling in love with a munchkin,
you can laugh all you want,
but anything beats a fucking tin man
who cries when he steps on ants,
but laughs when he steps on hearts.
By the way, thanks for detouring
that wicked witch who was out to get me:
she seems to be pretty satisfied
with you instead.
