your all

some people amaze me
I mean they could be sitting right in front of you
staring into your eyes 
but you don't know what lies there
you don't know if they've ever struggled
if they truly care about you
if that smile dancing on their lips as they speak is genuine
you don't know if they'll stay
or if they will leave you hanging
but you still hold onto them
you give them your all
you trust them with your most supposed prized possession
your heart and dreams and mind
everything that makes you, you
you hope that they'll take your gift 
make it better
respect it
care for it
and praise it 
but sometimes that isn't the case

    I still don’t find it fair that thrice isn’t a thing
  • Graduation

    I’m walking tomorrow

    For my mother who never even got to high school
    Who frowns whenever I’ve put my schoolwork over cleaning my room 

    I’m walking tomorrow 
  • Siblingship

    The bond of siblings doesn’t quite make sense,
    Because I will go half hungry so they can eat the other part of my sandwich,

    The simmering heat of anger that a sibling can make you burn with can be quite questionable,
