Sentimentality
Sentimentality
all the time
wishing to be younger
to be somewhere else.
I wish that I was in fourth grade again
and everyone was friends
and everyone was happy and content

Everything
I want to write about everything
the steady rain
the misery
the end of school
the upcoming event
the natural world
the current political universe of doom
but I can't phrase it
-
Enough
Constantly
all the time
I feel like crying
I've just had enough
enough of the girls accidentally hitting us with balls in P.E. class without them apologizing
enough of depressing experiences and losses;

I'm here
I'm sorry
I won't say why
because we both know
and we're both handling it differently
but I'm here
I'll be here for a very long time
so if you need me
just tell me
okay?
I'm here for you.

Suffocation
I fell
The ground didn't catch me, though
and I'm still falling
suffocating in my own sadness and grief
in shared sadness and grief, actually
except that it hit you harder
because you were closer to her

Missing
I didn't even realize how old she was
and she's not even my cat
and I didn't know her all that well
but I'm still crying
because she's not going to be there anymore

I made tea
I made tea this morning.
I put the leaves in, watching the steam dance with childlike wonder.
I returned to my laptop, staring at a half finished chapter, the bags under my eyes more apparent than ever.

blood, white, and blue
It's 12:34 AM on July 5th, 2025 and I still see fireworks going off in the sky.
I hear the booms, the bangs, the commotion of endless fireworks
going on for hours
still raging
on a brand new day.

Fourth of July?
This year I didn’t lay out an outfit for the fourth,
This year I wore all blue
I didn’t want to represent the other side,
Not today.
This year we didn’t go to the parade

The elephant and the turtle
He likes the solidity
Of having protection,
His big friendly guardian
Always beside him.
She liked the companionship,
How he always had a quip.
They talked about everything under the sun

Sailing
If I could sail
I'd sail away
Far away
I'd sail away from this place
But I wouldn't go to another
I would stay in between
Refusing to stay
Refusing to go
If I could sail

10:55
It's 10:55
I'm losing my mind
I try to count sheep
But they just pass me by
I get up and sit
At my desk, bite my lip
What to write, how to feel
Maybe my humor conceals
Who I am truly
