We will learn

Teenage love is different from adult love,

we love hard,

raw.

 

We love with the hopes that we will find the one,

innocent to the ways that the 'one' will change over and over again,

because you will find loves that you love the 'most',

but each time one leaves and a new chapter begins you say you 'love them more than anyone' or the 'last person,' 

but you don't know who you love the most,

not until you meet them and it's not an 'I love you the most,'

it's 'I can't understand how I could love anyone else because I have you, and why would I even want to when you're mine?'

we all wish to have that one day, 

or now.

 

We want to find trust in another person,

sometimes we want to love so we aren't lonely,

to feel like someone out there understands us.

 

Sometimes we love because we know how it feels to not be loved,

to be thrown aside,

unwanted.

 

Sometimes we have to learn how to love,

learn how to care,

it's hard to know how to do something you've never been shown,

eventually we will learn how to be able to keep someone else afloat without drowning ourselves.

 

And sometimes I think we love,

because,

we can't find ways to love ourselves.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
