10:55

It's 10:55

I'm losing my mind

I try to count sheep

But they just pass me by

I get up and sit

At my desk, bite my lip

What to write, how to feel

Maybe my humor conceals

Who I am truly

Could that possibly be

If you are not you

And I am not me

Then what is my purpose

Why am I still awake

Shut my eyes 

Nope

Why am I here

The darkness I fear

Good night, broken world

It's 10:55

And like I said, clearly

I'm losing my mind

  • Envelope

    My science teacher accused me

    playfully and yet fiercely

    of stealing an envelope

    I had been threatening to peel the cover strip off of the sticky part

    so it glues together

    because it was just so tempting.

  • I believe

    I believe in America and I believe in who we could be

    but I don't believe in who we are.

    It's so easy to give up and let them reign.

    I am.

    I'm scared to stand up or say things and I haven't before,

    and I won't.

  • True love

    True love.

    Love that's true.

    Love you know

    in your heart

    is you and another person.

     

    I guess I like to think I'm in love

    I never really know.
