Synonyms
I hate the way
Skinny is now a synonym for pretty
Pretty a synonym for happy
Happy a synonym for enough
Enough is something we will never be

She Cries Too
She is filled with more beauty than anything else
She is made in the very image of God
She is crafted by His hands, formed and fixed to be divine
She holds flowers and bugs and skies

Hair
Your hair was always beautiful,
Long and luciousous,
Everyone always loved it.
But then you cut it off.
Long strands fly away to the floor,
While you're in the bathroom,
Closed door.

A Girl I Never Knew
To the girl I never really knew,
I cried the other night about you
Probably just half what you went through
I never thought to care
About your lips your eyes your stare
The pain you held, I had no clue

If I could
(Inspired by Astronomy by Conan Gray)
I'd walk you out if I could
Open and close the door ever so gently
Hold your hand as we slowly say goodbye

Can I Go Back
Can I go back
Back to the place I call home
Full of laughter and love
The place where I sleep above my friend
As I'm surrounded by so many others

1am
Home is
trying not to smudge
our still-sticky nail polish
on the carpet
as we sit
cross-crossed
on the floor
spilling secrets
& memories
our speech sliding

Finding Myself
I found myself in the things I love
In the music I listen to
In the books I read
In the posters on my walls
I found myself
In my favorite drink
In going to the beach
In writing poetry

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.
