  • Exploring

    The toy falls 

    faster 

    faster 

    closer to the ground 

    its paws reaching out

    it lands on the grass with a light thud

    it hides there

    waiting

    quietly.

  • Everything

    I have the chance to do anything

    not quite everything

    but many things

    and I don't know what I want to do.

    I could be a writer

    or start my own company

    or be an Einstein-level mathematician

  • Stereotypes

    I hate stereotypes

    and the heavy, constant smell of perfume as I walk by my classmates wearing too much lip gloss

    but I like dressing myself up

    and I do care about my appearance

  • A simple wish

    A simple wish, really

    nothing much

    nowhere far

    no crazy place

    a simple, domestic idea, I guess.

    A small boat, really

    nothing much

    nowhere far

    a single day, I guess.

  • Silent

    Silent

    blank

    empty

    no new messages

    no bolded titles waiting to be opened

    bored

    hollow

    quiet.

    Everything has been explored

  • Subconscious

    I could fly.

    Not like stereotypical Peter Pan style or with bird wings

    but with a shirt

    with built-in handlebars

    I soared and failed

    crashing into my ceiling.

    I told my brother to hop on

  • Paper Airplane Ashes

    A boy sat under a hazy sun, paper airplane in hand.  Words stretched along the creases, telling of a world he wished he knew: one of a golden sun you couldn’t meet the gaze of, fields full of green grass and wildflowers, and sparkli

  • Asexuality

    In a community of acceptance,

    there is a lack of understanding

    for the A

    in LGBTQIA. 

    It’s easier to point fingers

    than interlock fingers

    or tap fingers to chins,

    thinking,

  • Sometimes you can't

    Sometimes you just can't.

    The hardest part is accepting it,

    At least for me.

    Accepting that you won't be able to

    Carry every load

    Be every version of yourself

    Always be the best

    Meet every expectation.

  • Is it

    I don't want to lead

    I do it naturally

    Can I stop now

    Is it enough

    Is it enough for you

    For them

    To not always be

    On top

    All the time

    Everyone
