You Wish

You wish I'd give in

You wish I'd give up.

You'd wish I'd stop fighting

For me and for us.

You wish I'd stop arguing

Stop pointing fingers

You wish I'd quit blaming

But my fire, it lingers.

Everlasting blaze

Inferno so wild

Welcome to my heart

Where nothing is mild.

Crazy reactions

Blown up like a storm

Reactivity and festivity

And happiness and scorn.

You wish I'd leave you alone

You wish I'd go away.

But how can you say

The things that you say?

I'll never stop fighting

I'll never give up.

You'll never win

You'll keep screwing up.

You wish you hadn't hurt me

Because of what I've done.

You wish you could scare me

Just for fun.

You wish me no pleasantries

You wish me no opportunities.

You wish I weren't so good at this

You wish, you wish, you wish.

  • Teenhood

    There should be a word

    For ages thirteen through seventeen.

    There should be a word

    Like childhood or adulthood

    That describes

    Being a teenager.

    Adolescence is one, yes

    But it doesn't fit.

  • Schoolwork

    Schoolwork

    Homework

    How exciting.

    I think my teachers are trying to kill me.

    They assign lots of assignments

    Worksheets, sometimes a quiz

    Normally I wouldn't mind

    But I'm not a math whiz.

  • Timeless

    I wanted to stay there forever

    Under that tree with you.

    I wanted to lie there

    Live beneath the sky's blue.

    I wanted to look at the constellations at night

    And name the clouds' shapes in the daytime.
