  • what’s next

    she walks into the room like a sentence that forgot to whisper

    light brown hair pulled back in a way that says she didn’t try

    but still somehow gets it right

    clear glasses catching the light

  • the stage

    the lights hit first

    hot and white and blinding

    a wall of brightness straight into my eyes

    so strong i can’t see their faces

    just outlines

    shadows beyond the edge of the stage

    and somehow

  • graduation

    the halls grow quieter each day
    pages of notebooks thin with time
    final bells echo softer than the first
    the clock moves forward
    but i feel still for a moment
    caught between what was
    and what waits

  • Unfinished

    they gather in shadow beyond the monuments 
    no longer chiseled names but men again 
    haunted by what they see 
    each bearing the weight of his vision now worn 
    washington stands first

  • Together

    You’re different

    With all of us

    Versus just me.

    You’re different

    With a whole crazy friend group

    Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things 

  • I don't

    I don't

    Open at your words

    Your touch

    I don't

    Listen to

    Anyone anymore.

    I am completely in my head.

    I know we don't have time for this mess.

    I do it anyway.

    I don't

    Pay attention.

  • I want to cry

    I want to cry.

    I want to cry

    But I cannot.

    Graduation

    Graduation

    They're leaving

    It's finally happening and how will I survive

    What if this what if that

    Stress

    Schoolwork

  • Expectations

    There are

    So many things.

    So many things

    So many people

    Want from me.

    Is it too much to ask for a break?

    Am I allowed to

    Have a few seconds to myself or

    Am I just a machine?

  • Is it weird?

    Is it weird if

    I want to tell you I love you?

    Is it weird that

    I want to hold you

    While I still can?

    Is that weird?

    Maybe it's

    Just me being

    Emotional

    Or something.

    Is it weird that

  • I might

    I think

    I might miss this.

    I might miss your smile

    And the way it feels when you laugh

    And

    How we could talk about anything.

    I might miss

    Those precious few minutes spent together

    Every morning
