2.5

Grades are tanking

hope is failing

I am a pile of busywork and small talk

a job I need to pay for my dream

a dream I've given up on

it's safer to give up than to pursue

pursuing hurts more than it's worth

you ask if I'll do it?

I won't right now because I forgot what I fell in love with

love fades

and I forgot who I am

I'm fading

I'm scared so I'm running away

and I feel lonely and left out

2.5

I really thought I had it

but I guess I never did

or maybe nothing ever stuck

except the hurt

  • grow

    we all grow in different directions

    planted in the same soil

    springing up towards the sun

    when I went right you went left

    we're going different ways

    trajectories

  • I ever

    Everything I ever wanted

    How strange

    to have a category in my inbox under "friends" for you -

    one you've yet to earn

    and every time I fall for this trick

    and it hurts

    every

    time

  • Time turner

    I'm the same me across everywhere

    everything

    every universe 

    every dimension

    fragmented half truths

    whole lies

    purple

    some things never change

    I adjust but I don't change
