I Know You Miss Kansas City
You were always a good actor
But you don’t act like you used to
Don’t lie
I can see the pain in your eyes
Your silent cries,
Your pleas for help
And I know in their eyes

invisible
this is for all of the invisible people
you are seen
and you are loved
-
never forget this
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but
you are enough and you are loved
:)

Hey, I know it’s been a while, but my grandparents still ask about you and I still remember your birthday. I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m still holding onto the pieces I have left of you.

The Sun Will Rise Again
Her blood is engraved into these pages
Slowly unraveling the truth
Exposing every flaw in perfection
Every short-lived high
Every precocious low
Has driven the knife deeper into her lingering past

grades kill self-worth
the numbers scream
I’m not enough
I’m not enough
I’m not enough
we are not composed of numbers
so why do we let them define us?

And girls kicking at leaves just for the fun of it,
And oh, when did our youth slip through the backdoor unnoticed,

mother!
mother! i cry, captive of the wind
carrying my voice for those to hear who
accept failure is not an option & instead pursue
the package of progress, the patch of promise
a battle cry to be heard,

The longer I wait.
No more promises to go to bed earlier
No more making up meaning for the mess on the floor,
No more pages all across my desk.
No more of the big clothes to hide what I don't have.

The Things We Almost Say
There is a language
spoken only in half-glances,
in the weight of a pause
just before someone smiles. -

River
Through the knotweed. Down the ladder made of tree roots. Up onto the big rock. By the river. I stand, mud on my ankle and cuts on my knees. The sun sits just barely above the trees as the sweat sits just above my brow.
