Run for your lives 

The night will catch you

Problem with living

    please, little gods, 

    whoever is listening, 

    whoever hears the echo, 

    someone

    hear me.

    momma, 

    you know, 

    i was so pretty today.

    i woke up on time

    you didn’t say anything 

    before you left

    but,

    my glasses were clean

    my nails were painted,
