Poetry

remembering you

in snippets 

the off-key showtunes we sang at camp 

blushing when I walked over to your table at lunch 

a few card tricks we shared 

it's not a complete picture 

You were tapping on your phone

I was outside, walking back to my place

You caught a glimpse of my reflection 

in your rearview mirror

There is // no tomorrow // blue sky drowning and leftover questions // through the snow, an end is distinguished // where so many divert their paths, paving into the ground // ice is all that’s left, this is how the cliff is found // if

its like

walking through

a forest

where you

think no

one can

hear you

but yourself

you scream

at the

top of

your lungs

until your

insides burn

you're alone

(Note: Please know that you may take this any way you would like, this is just how I see things. I wish for there to be more peace and love in this world.

I'm surrounded by sharks

yet I'm on land

I'm chased by mammoths

yet they're extinct

I'm falling through the air

yet my feet are on the floor

I'm choking on the ocean

Gah

not this

this is stupid and dumb and a waste of my time

lets skip this part

its the scary part of a movie that we can just fast forward though

its a dumb fight scene that I fall asleep to

just...

i don't know who i am

nor do i think i ever will

but

i want to be so much

i want to be a poet,

carefully nurturing

then raising and sharing,

the sustenance of the soul.

You say you’re a loser

    Well if you are, I am too.

      Said it killed you to lose her

        You said you want to say adieu

Singing, Singing, Singing.

Your voice fills my ears.

Smiling, Smiling, Smiling,

Your happiness fills my heart.

Laughing, Laughing, Laughing,

Your friendship fills my mind.

I do not pledge allegiance to the Disunited States of America.

And to the republic for which it stood, under atoms,

With liberty and justice for WHITE STRAIGHT CIS MEN.

All I see,

Turning heads.

I can’t believe

You want me dead.

I spoke the truth

And you spoke lies

I still feel
