by venting, by ranting, maybe to one, two, or even three people.

I sit in the corner, listening to the conversation,
started like it was just breathing to them,
I want that, but my heart doesn’t yearn as much,
or maybe it yearns infinitely more.

hungry
I sit in the corner, cradling a book,

One I could wrap around the skin on my wrists,
And keep myself tied to one place.

What Our World Could Be
In a chaotic world

each hidden away
in their own
separate lives,
be remembered for
being the person
who brings others joy,

Can somebody, anybody
Can somebody
Anybody
Tell me if I’m doing this
Right
Tell me if I’m following the right set
Of instructions
Tell me if I’m using the
Correct map
Can somebody
