Changing

my life is changing
people are 
finding themselves
in the darkness
of being young

they are
pulling themselves out
and finding their
true feelings

i am a little
afraid
to pull myself out
and maybe find
an awful person

so i stay
the way i am
not different
than others
in a lot of ways

i will not be 
pulling myself out
for a while

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
