Hello


Hello, 

my name is Zacchaeus.

I have windup confidence 

and a wilting smile.

I enjoy cuddling,

company, 

and laughing for the dumbest reasons.

My hobbies include:

Hiding behind metaphors,

Writing bad poems, 

and trying to convince myself that there's something worth living for.

They always said I wonder too much.

That I asked too many questions.

And they may be right, but as i wonder,

I look, and search,

and occasionally,

I find.

I dont know much yet,

but I do know this: 

Life is full of music and if I keep my earmuffs on I wont hear any of it. 

There's a pounding in my skull and a thumping in my heart, and it tells me 

that yea, 

life sucks,

but we still have work to do.
