Just Another

no one is
just another person
they love
they hate
and they hurt

people always look
at the crashes
and the pain
and the heartbreak
and say
"It's just another person."

but it is not
just another person
they have
loved ones
family
and friends

each person
has a heart that beats
has a breath taken
each second

no one is
just another person
because they love
and hate
and hurt

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
