  • Amongst the clover

    Here you lie,

    Upon the grass,

    Clover disguising your fragile body.

    Far away from your nest and kin,

    How did you get here?

     

    Ruining your innocence

    Ruining mine

    Comes the wheel - 

  • When

    When I find

    That maybe I don't love it anymore -

    When I lost the spark

    When I realized

    I don't really care

    If I make it,

    Or don't -

    It scares me.

    I wander around at practice,

  • Conductor

    He raises his hands,

    And as our cue,

    We begin our dance -

    Instruments,

    Communicating,

    It's like we can talk to each other

    Through the song.

     

    He claps his hands twice -

  • Bassline

    I feel the drumbeat.

    I feel the pulse of the music,

    Reverberating around my ears and brain,

    Twisting into my heart.

    I feel the bassline

    With each hit of the sound

    Pulsating your energy around you

  • Those two days

    Two days

    Was all it took.

    A day of rehearsals;

    Discussing, analyzing, perfecting -

    And then the day

    We performed.

    The day that changed everything.

     

    I gave myself to the notes on the page,

  • How do I say

    Why do you love this?

    What makes you keep doing it?

     

    I am always asked these questions.

    How do I tell them

    How do I say

    That sometimes it's the only thing that matters to me?

  • To Truly Be

    How do I explain

    that doubled over laughter

    none of us

    can play volleyball but

    all of us

    can laugh

    and s'mores

    you asked me

    what I was doing

    I was doing

    it all wrong

    you said

  • Solidarity

    I can't believe it

    I've never mentioned it for almost a year now

    it turns out that I really can keep secrets for this long

    from even myself

    from the universe

    from everyone else

    from my confidants.

  • Relentless

    I screwed up.

    Again.

    Same damn wound, reopened—

    blood and shame mixing,

    staining every step I take.

     

    I'm tired of putting on a show 

    I will learn this time.

    I am stuck, really,
