listening and ignoring

time and time again
I've sat in the same spot 
recived the same talking to 
and ignored the same words
it's probably why I keep getting the same talking to 
because every time I ignore it,
I'm extreamly talented at pretending i'm interested in a converstaion 
when actualy I'm thinking about something totaly different 
and I'm prety good at pretending I'm not interested in something I realy am interesed in
and sometimes I'm just honestly interesed in something 
any way 
yeah 
I confuse people
but also make them feel listend too so. . .I guess it's ok

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
