What If. . . ?

(inspired by Roald Dahl's 'What If?')

what if?

what if there are monsters inside my head?

what if?

what if there were things I shouldn't have said

what if?

what if I made a big mistake 

what if?

what if I'm going to be late?

what if?

what if I loose my sight?

what if?

what if I can't learn how to drive?

what if?

what if you shut me out?

what if?

what if I start to doubt?

what if 
what if

all the what ifs in my head
swirling and twirling
just waiting to be said

what if?!
what if?!

they keep on coming

WHAT IF I DIE?
WHAT IF YOU DIE?
WHAT IF SOMEBODY DECIDES TO STOP TIME?

they've stopped now I guess.
oh shoot.
I've jinxed it.

    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
