Always

Will my soul always feel this flighty,
Like a bird which yearns to be set free.
A wandering girl searching for purpose in the wind?
Will I always like to wonder,
Entice my mind with snippets of knowledge?
Will I always crave adventure,
Run towards it at a dizzying speed and
Embrace it, clutch it, taste it.
Will I always have this desire,
A hot flame gnawing at the purest parts of me,
Ensuing forbidden thoughts that no one else can see?
Will I always have a fear,
Fear of never fitting in.
Fear of missing out.
Fear of spiraling down.
Will I always have this need,
A dark, empty hole scorching the inner piece of me?
Will I always turns to
I will always.
I will always be drunk off the sound of my own laughter.
I will always love the feeling of the wind through my hair.
I will always run through fields with reckless abandon.
I will always hunger for answers to life's burning questions.
I will always love passionately and fully.
I will always find solace in penning my thoughts onto paper.
I will always be Katy, I will always be me.

Change: Unmistakeable, Ever-present

Change is a strange evocation of feelings,
Which encompass the changing of events.
As this new season of my life begins to commence,
I find myself wanting to reminisce.
College applications flooding my terrain,
Countless memories fill my obnoxious brain.
A shy, scared little girl,
Is now ready to take on the world.
I'm scared about the future-
Yes, it's a scary plight.
Yet, I keep finding peace as each day turns to night.
God's got a plan,
My destination in sight.
It's strange how time speeds by with each new light.
My future is brimming,
For once, life is unmistakably worth living.
A scared little girl once afraid to take flight,
Now finds solace with her dreams each night.

Floating on Cloud Nine

The way his eyes glint with a shimmer of understanding,
Makes my heart race and I can't feel myself standing.
I know I'm floating on a cloud,
But I honestly can't see myself coming down.
The high is undeniable,
My appetite for love is insatiable.
Hungry for his touch,
Longing for his company.
I pray if I'm dreaming it doesn't end abruptly.
So lost in love,
Navigating blurred lines is tough.
Never thought I would be enough,
Since when do I deserve this much?
The way his blue eyes shine,
For once I feel completely divine,
Taking my sweet time.
Can't believe this boy is mine.
