Careful
And it feels the same
But in the worst way possible
And I hate this
More than I hated last year
At least last year
I cared
What I wouldn't give to care now
-
Back
And it's all back
Full-fledged
Only it's... worse?
It's harder?
And I am completely "fine"
And "enjoying myself"
And "fitting in".
I take the homework home
And complete it within half an hour.

Pavement
I want to cross the street and have cars catapult around me
Mass destruction like wouldn't you know it
I want my steps to echo the pavement
And for the world to swerve around me
But I walk and nothing happens
-
Pet store
I am such a horrible awful jerk
I refuse pets
I refuse animals
Because I refuse to get another
Because that feels like replacing her
And so I won't do it
But there are all these animals out there

Labor Day
Have a great Labor Day weekend, everybody!
What if it's not labor
What if I want to anyway
What if that was why I got out of bed every painful stupid day after the other

Fall
Fall is here and I fight nostalgia with every step
I am falling into the colored leaves like a child with crayons filled them in
The slightest cool breeze knocks me over
I love this time of year
Loves

Continuing forward
It holds me
keeps me at the right temperature as long as it's between 50-70 degrees outside.
It embraces me
I can be myself in it
I don't have to hide as much

obsessed
i get
obsessed
with little things
movies
singers
people
anything
for two to six months
i cant
think
about
anything
else
like being tangled

Please, don’t.
Don’t.
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know what I mean?
Don’t you know what I mean when I say
something isn’t right something isn’t right something isn’t right

If
I —
I could.
I could, love.
I could love you.
I could love you if…
I —I wanted.
I wanted to.
I wanted to, love.

'I am' Poem
When my teachers want to celebrate diversity they try to get us to write 'I am' and 'Where I'm From' poems. This is not something I oppose, but something is lost in the prompting. For them I write the easy apple cider explanations. For you?

Keep going
It's hard being back
no, it's worse than hard
impossible
to be around them
to be surrounded by people who hate you for finding yourself
