    I take care 

    Of everyone

    All the time

    The oldest

    At home

    At school

    Checking in with friends

    Trying to comfort them on their drama

    Without being pulled into it

  • Lonely nights

    I can't sleep

    I know I need to

    Ugh, again??

    Usually I have trouble getting to sleep

    In the summer

    It's hot

    But the AC's on and my earbuds are in

    Relaxing music

    What's the problem?

  • Sort of familiar

    It's sort of familiar

    You next to me

    I can't tell if it's me being familiar to you

    How you feel beside me

    Or familiar to

    Being pressed against someone on a couch

    (this has happened to me a lot)

  • Again

    Again, we piled onto the couches

    Facing each other

    The librarians told us to keep it down.

    Again, we talked and laughed

    Learned all the new drama

    Caught up to each other's summer lives

  • Some days

    Some days I look through my folder

    Flip through my books

    Scroll through PDFs

    And I just don't want to

    Just don't feel like it

    Just not in the mood

    And suddenly I am terrified

    Terrified

  • Tears

    My tears taste of memories,

    slipping from my eyes,

    replaying on my cheeks,

    leaving a trail of our past on my lips,

    tasting of the bitter-sweet moments of us,

    and finally, 

    silently, 

  • See you, brother

    I don't think you're a waste of space,

    I'll give you my room and my pillow

    As long as you make the bed afterwards,

    And close the windows to keep the rain out. 

     

    I don't think your not enough,

  • my hair

    my hair falls like clumps of tears

    ready to be set free,

    like chains held over my head.

    i tied my hair into knots

    of familial expectations,

    the knot’s been untied,

    and the cage has opened

  • Mixed Feelings

    I am sad

    sad to not have weekly meetings with you

    I am nervous

    nervous of what I'll be doing this weekend

    I am excited

    excited to show off, to show my friends and family this tradition

    I am apprehensive
