so what should I say now?

that I will back away?

you'll chain me with your words

until you get your say

and shoot your shot with her

because you have a chance,

and I'll stick to my side,

Bossy

The word people use when a girl takes charge

Synonym

Feisty

Adjective

Her hands are cupped around

A rose,

Perfectly red petals

Curling to the center,

Where she has stored her heart;

sometimes you wonder why you are the way you are.

and you're not sure if it's just you being dramatic,

but you know that sometimes you feel like you’re

When I was younger I used to ask my mom what her favorite color was and she said she didn’t have one.

This confused me,

How could one go through life without a favorite color?

Listen to my tale of woe

from the olden days

Sir Jack, he was a nobleman

I saw the stars

in waves of black and blue

ill take the other.

i’ll wash your oceans down to my essence

and eat the dirt that gives you life

the schools of fish shall go to my offspring 

The ice is bleeding,  

oceans cough up plastic in its lungs,  

skies choke on smoke  

while we scroll, sip, and shrug.  

Nothing with flour

no bread

replaced with

matzo meal

potato starch

eggs that are the cost of two books

all of my life necessities in food

gone

replaced with

hard,

crunchy,
