  • Still A While To Go

    I was so quiet then, 

    standing all alone against the concrete wall 

    in ill fitting jeans 

    with an awkward bob made of my soft blonde hair. 

     

    I listened instead of speaking 

  • Really?

    How can you say that you are a provider of justice?

    You pledge loyalty to sin like it's a hobby 

    just to turn around with a cross in hand

    and sickly smile in the next.

    So explain to me how you should get to decide

  • What I want

    I wasn’t

    Sure.

    Not one hundred percent.

    I knew I wanted it

    But I wasn’t prepared last time

    We weren’t ready last time

    I’m surprised I was ready this time.

    But I was -

    We were.

  • Not yet.

    No.

    No, no, no, no!

    It can't be December,

    not yet.

    Because just a minute ago, 

    we were going back to school shopping.

    And now we're almost halfway through the year?

    It doesn't make sense.

  • Little Lies

    I thought I was an extrovert- 

    I'm not. 

    I can't talk to somebody unless they approach me first.

     So I don't correct when somebody says something that's wrong,
