I'm nervous
And I'm scared.
Meeting new people -
Not my thing.
I can be outgoing
I can be anyone they want me to be
Anyone who will be liked
But me
I will thrive
-
Done here
And it all
Meant
Nothing to you
Right?
Did I -
Was I -
I'm never wrong
I'd scream until the sky fell
And drown in my own fever dream
But you could never
Never

Camp
Shattered moments
Gathering in my mind
Like when we went blueberry picking
And gave up on it
Because there were only a few ripe ones
And Z taught me that the green ones are actually pretty good
-
Yeah I know
What's wrong with you?
Why can't you take a joke?
Why don't you ever go anywhere?
Why don't you talk to anyone anymore?
Yeah, I know.

Summer camp
Nostalgia
I love this place
This camp
Third year
With my cousin best friend
And...it feels like school
There are people from school
Which
Even if I like them
Makes me tense up

I dreamt that
I
t o r e
all the flowers down and
p u n c h e d
the waves until they
s h a t t e r e d
like icy glass and I
c h a s e d
the grassy road till its end
s t o m p i n g
Loves

If
I โ
I could.
I could, love.
I could love you.
I could love you ifโฆ
I โI 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
-
could we pretend?
could you just pretend for a second,
a minute, a moment, an ounce
of time that you feel the same as i do,
instead of running out the room
like Cerberus was on your heels
and i was death, herself.

sweet/heart
you remind me of ๐๐๐๐๐ช decay. in a pop-up cartoon store, flies buzzing around your flushed eyeballs.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐๐จ๐๐๐ and with hearts still in your eyes. tell me whether it hurt when they loved you.

Quick on the Draw
You
love me
fast, miss me
faster, I ran to
you, now running away takes
much longer. To get to you
