Sensitive
I can feel a lot of things.
Sensitive, but not like you'd think.
Not like crying all the time
Or getting upset.
I hide it well, I think.
I've learned to mask my temper

Old
I feel so much older
I’m the oldest in my grade
I could’ve been going into high school
My birthday was right on the edge
My friends are all one to two years younger than me
And it’s a gap I can feel

Angry
As soon as
I sense the slightest tinge
Of anger

Run from myself
Nononono
You know what happens when you get mad
Just play
And so I play and play

Burning
I'm burning
I'm burning myself out
And I will take everyone down with me
All my relationships

But we still made time to see each other
We grew apart but

I don't know what this is
whether it's summer really sinking in

Everyone always thinks that people act a certain way to please the people around them

and that's what I do, too
except most of what I do

Orpheus
My whole life I have been trying to tell a story so beautiful that the world would fall in love with me.
That is why I befriended words and stage lights.
That is why I watch the details of the world

Eye Wish
When you get an eyelash in your eye
