Day 365

It's over!
It's over?
It's over...
365 days of words.
365 days of ideas.
365 days of discovery.
365 days of honesty.

It finally ends
this unexpected journey.
A year, gone by
in words and phrases
similes and metaphors.
365 days are gone
and now
its time to move on...

(Thank you to everyone who has been there since, literally, Day 1 of my 365 Project, especially Erin. :) Without her kind words and support, I would have stopped a long time agao. I would love to thank everyone including Ben, Nikki and Lizzie. ANNNND of course, Mom, who put up with me while I was complaining about getting internet access when we were on vacation... :/

And I will expect the comments of "Now what, Lauren?" and "How does it feel to be done?" so I will just answer them now.

Now what? I'm going to get on with my life. Seperate myself more from the internet and live in the here and now.
How does it feel to be done? Honestly, it's freakin' weird.

So, everyone, thank you again, I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as much as I did. ;)

Day 364

It's almost over.
Time speeds faster
a broken cry from my inner self
wrapped in mismatched blankets
and sipping hot chocolate
as I watch the rain fall
and breathe in the cool air
which enflames
my third eye.

Day 363

we've never met in person
but your life
it unravels
each and every day
with every new
e-mail and
little joke we make
has it really been
almost five years
since we started talking?

Day 362

sometimes i feel as if i'm sleeping life away
waking up around midday
exhausted from the weeks work.
it feels nice to actually sleep
rejuvinate oneself
but then i realize
what things
i could accomplish
if i were to wake
only hours earlier
and it makes me wonder
if maybe i'm sleeping life away.

Day 361

dripping like
honey from the comb
sticky nectar
it consumes
until it is
the only thing
solid
constricts the throat
bad words
regret and anxiety
are like
this bad tasting honey.

Day 360

nearing the end
it's scary
and it's unpredictable
so I can't lie
and say I want it to end
but then again
new beginnings
are the best.

Day 359

The best of friends
in the most unlikely of places
bound together
throughout time
and trial
never breaking
no matter what.
