Excess

Am I too much or not enough?

Do I care?

Not really... 

this is my year to not care

with the excess pieces of me tying themselves up

covering up

armor before it changes

"it" being everything

in my life.

Life is a gift

did I throw it in the trash?

Did I rush to unwrap it?

Am I rushing?

Questions

life is questions

and humans are made of excess

little bits that float around

focus on the parts of yourself you love the least

focus on the parts you don't pay attention to

I'm the last person to say this

but love yourself

and then some

    Systems

    I'm a system of equations

    and you're my matching set

    we spend our lives trying to solve

    I don't know who I am

    I don't know who you are

    but I know who we are

    we were late

    it was dark outside

    I didn't know anyone there

    I didn't know my schedule

    I didn't know what was happening
