Wishes thrown into a pond

I wish I was...

Beautifully sure of myself like Ae

Bouncy like M

Comfortable in my skin like L

Confident like N

Cool like T

Cute like E

Energetic like A

Fearless but never conceited like Aa

Funny like Le

Mature like Ao

Pretty like C

Quiet like S

Silly like O

Sophisticated like J

Sweet like P

Talented like Y

Relatable like Av

all these incredible girls' girls

almost-women

and I am not them

or like them

so all I see is jealousy

broken wishes

fractured pennies beneath the fountain.

  • Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption

  • Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

  • Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips
