CONVENIENCE

I hate that I am only loved when you feel like it,

like I'm lovable but only when there is nothing better,

you miss me but you just miss having me as an option,

you wish I was there but only when nobody else is free. 

 

I get that I may not be a top choice,

I may not be whatever definition of "perfect" you follow,

but I put in effort,

I try,

I care,

I love,

but that's only enough when no one else is around right?

 

I'M only enough when I'm doing something to benefit you right?

 

I'm really ONLY needed when you have nothing better to do right?

 

I'm not even needed or LOVED I just am a time filler.

 

Wanting me is really just an impulse WHEN you lose interest in your new "toy" right?

 

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so lonely because IT'S so easy to fall for pretty little lies,

 

I've figured out that believing the lies is more CONVENIENT then undressing them to see the ugly truths underneath.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
