music

a song is the heartbeat of the world 
and an instrument is the heart 
pumping the song 
from ear to ear 
from person to person 
creating a feeling 
that everyone can feel 
understand
and comprehend 
because sometimes
the most complex things 
can't be explained with words
sometimes the best things 
aren't describable with sentences 
music is a gift
and hearing is a blessing 
don't take that lightly.

  • 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
