College and other future plans and maybes
When we talked about college
Four years away for you
Five for me
You want to go to MIT
"Math", you said
4.7% acceptance rate
Buddy, trust me, if anyone can make it it's you and that's not even bias,

Punching waves
My therapist told me not to punch waves
I think it was supposed to be a metaphor
I don't punch waves
I throw myself into them
Relentlessly
Until I can't feel the pain

If I called you
If I called you
Right now
In the middle of the night
If I called you in tears
And said I don't know
I don't know how to do this anymore
Maybe I never did
One second I'm fine
The next

Girls
We can do hard things.
We can push through heartbreak,
The tears of feeling like we're not wanted,
Like we're not good enough,
We can splash in them.
We can laugh and cry in the same breath

I told myself
I told myself
Over and over
My future lies within that year
Within a heart so icy
It froze my own
Within eyes so guarded
They became attackers.
By seeking to reclaim our past

The elephant and the turtle
He likes the solidity
Of having protection,
His big friendly guardian
Always beside him.
She liked the companionship,
How he always had a quip.
They talked about everything under the sun

Fields of Stars (of Women)
I want to see fields
Of girls
Standing tall to the sun,
Their imperfections
Shined upon the brightest,
Their souls sparkling

You could, but you don't
All I want is you,
I try,
I try to talk to you,
spend time with you,
but it just annoys you,
I don't know what to do anymore.
I text you,
you ask 'what do you want?'

not prescribed
live in the moment
i'm trying so hard to look
at you
and not to think of the possibilities i know
i can't have,
all the things you rejected the moment

We Are All Made From Each Other.
I am out at night because I can’t stand myself.
People are milling on the street. Nobody looks at me. They all look at each other as they pass, and the lights decorate their faces to be tall and luminous.

It's gone but I still remember
I'm smiling to myself,
remembering,
reminiscing,
the good times.
The times where it was you,
and me,
against the world.
Who would stop us?

Fourth of July?
This year I didn’t lay out an outfit for the fourth,
This year I wore all blue
I didn’t want to represent the other side,
Not today.
This year we didn’t go to the parade
