all at once
Overwhelmed
by everything unexplainable,
everything that can't be put into words.
There is too much that needs to be let go
so it comes out silently,
but is never fully gone.

Too Soon
Do you ever grieve something
that isn't even over yet?
It's like you know
that's it's going to be gone anyway,
that you're going to miss it
so much,

Is This the Future?
No matter how far I run
how loud I scream
how hard I try
I'm never fast enough
never loud enough
never good enough.
Because even if I am,

Out of Tune
What used to be my everything
has now turned into what feels almost like a burden.

Construction Zone
I’m currently being serenaded by hammering from my mom’s bedroom upstairs. They're still working on that bathroom. You know, the one that was supposed to be done last month.

and remembered you.

Routine

open to this the first chance I get

Questions
I'm
confused
did I do it
what happened?
You were melancholy earlier
what is going on
what did I miss
was it me?
You talk in subtle hints
but what are you hinting at?

“Believe Me”
“You’re beautiful.”
“I’m not.”
“I love you.”
“You don’t.”
“You live in the stars.”
“My feet are planted on the earth.”
“But your eyes are reflecting them.”
“They’re not.”
“Believe me.”

We (are) the People
Who are we?
Are we men
in offices, yes that would still be
us.
But, I think we are also the boy who got a flag from the lady in the parade and waves it because he loves his country
