I wish

I wish I could be you.

Running to your room

Plugging your ears

Whenever there's a scary part of a movie

And coming back out in time

To see the happy ending -

Closing your eyes

Covering your face

When you see a car crash

A box of my best friend's ashes

Anything dark

Running 

Hiding from death

From hard things.

And I'm angry,

That while you get to walk through life

With your eyes closed

I have to keep mine open

Because that's what she deserved

That's what they deserved

And you

Can't always run away

From what scares you.

  • 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.

  • Hindsight is 20/20

    I am here to say this

    in only facts

    because I don't rely on feelings.

    Fact:

    Your Mr. Remarkable is quiet.

    Cold.

    Closed off.

    Didn't interact unless

    absolutely necessary

    smiled maybe twice.

  • 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
