2020 Backyard Nights
Many years have passed
Wearing away at my soul
Yet I will never forget
Those 2020 backyard nights we spent
Collecting acorns and playing tag under sunset skies

you got what you wanted in the end
There are days and nights
When I still think of you
And I smile
Because even if you’re gone
I know you’re happy now

Poem #490
You never truly leave your hometown
You carry pieces of the past in your veins
And you begin to reminisce when you bleed
In your darkest moments
You are the same child you were all those years ago

And no one notices

I know
I know you still think of her
When it’s late at night
And memories fall out of your eyelids and down your cheek
I would too, if I had known her

attention
if I have to fight for your attention
then it is not worth fighting for

ojos de paz (eyes of peace)
Yo quiero un mundo
de felicidad para todos.
Donde hay no fin de cuánto
tu puedes amor
todos las cosas
tu quieres.
Cree tu eres el sola persona
en el mundo,
y cierras sus ojos

writing makes it real
I sat down to write a poem about politics,
About how our country is tearing itself apart,
About how we’ve tried to glue pieces back together,
About how somehow it’s already been a year.

we will not be silenced
because we cannot do this again.
we are tired of giving our lives up
so you can play at governance.
we are tired of pretending that war is a toy
you can wind up and watch. 28.5 million lives

i wish my best friend lived in australia
it's true, i would miss you.
you wouldn't be a door away anymore, and it would hurt. -
Consider the following
When I was in seventh grade, my teacher put on our desks a pop quiz, and question one was hard, but question five was harder (was the colonization of America inevitable?) and I stared at that question because I couldn't stop thinking about my home

Freedom

covered in red white and blue lettering
a tribute to the land you once loved dearly
