Goal: Write a poem everyday no matter what.
Inspiration: I want to go through some of my favorite albums and try to write a poem for each song. I've been listening to The Strokes a lot again so I might try them.

Never mind this bird:
it comes every day
and stops at the branch's edge
to sing for an hour
or two.
That's all it does:
nothing makes it happier
Dunya Mikhail
you are the pulse in my veins. the blood pouring from my open wounds. the stars twinkling in the night sky. the smell of cigarettes lingering on faded lips. you’re the damage. you’re the hurt. you’re the healing. and it’s intoxicating.
-i can’t help but love it

Ideas
from "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius
"Do no violence to yourself, my soul!"
“The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.”
“Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.”
“Some things are hurrying into existence and others are hurrying out of it and of that which is coming into existence, part is already extinguished. In this flowing stream then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of things which hurry on by on which a man would set a high price. It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by but has already passed out of sight.”
“The universe is change, and life mere opinion.”
