I don't

I don't

Open at your words

Your touch

I don't

Listen to

Anyone anymore.

I am completely in my head.

I know we don't have time for this mess.

I do it anyway.

I don't

Pay attention.

I can't.

Don't, I tell myself.

Don't be that 

Cold-shouldered                icy stare              lifeless            fake smile

Girl.

Could you instead be

Love            light          laughter          connection?

I could.

But

I don't.

  • Island

    I would feel -

    relaxed if I were

    on an island by myself.

    I could forget about

    my life

    forget about overdue math

    and whether I'm behind or not

    doing the right thing is always wrong

  • Auditions

    I like auditioning. I like it because it makes me feel special - I like the anticipation, walking in that room, and just getting to play what you've practiced. It's predictable. 

  • Deja vu

    I've been here before

    I know this feeling

    the impending sense of

    happening.

    It's going to happen

    it's inevitable

    is this a mistake?

    I will back off so fast if you tell me you don't want it.
