Poetry

I'm not very good at empathy.

I can't read the room and feel what nobody has spoken of.

I can see when somebody is sad,

but it's not like I can feel it.

Of course, I can try. 

I can’t tell what’s heavier on my shoulders 

The weight of my backpack 

Or the weight of the expectations

I don’t know what’s harder

 i say sorry to the mirror
 for looking away too fast.
 for calling her names
 that no one deserves.

We're no longer friends.

Thanks for acting so well,

Until the bitter end.

Our first and last pic on the 'Gram,

Yeah, it looked nice.

I'm jealous of your growth,

my breakfast cereal used to turn soggy in milk,

and now the flavors blend like a rainbow,

and every time i watch that show,

i wonder what it would be like if i was in your arms,

You won’t ever notice

I never stopped wanting you.

Yet I am right here.

it was under a cold November sky when it happened/she smelled of fragrant shampoo and a slight hint of mashed potatoes/I don’t usually like mashed potatoes/but today they are my favorite/with lashes fluttering against cheeks/it was a zing/so natur
