Sailing

If I could sail

I'd sail away

Far away

I'd sail away from this place

But I wouldn't go to another

I would stay in between

Refusing to stay

Refusing to go

If I could sail

I'd bring my friends

Because knowing me I'd see a spider and fall overboard from fear

Or shipwreck because I don't know how to steer

Or accidentally cut all the sails

And get stranded on an island somewhere

Yes

I'd bring my friends

They'd probably end up having to lock me belowdecks

But that's okay

I wouldn't die

If I could sail

I'd sail as far as I could

Or I'd say I would and turn back

As soon as I cross the line of buoys

I'd sail if he came with me

He's everything

I'd sail if my people did too

If I could sail I'd try to

But it's probably best for everyone if I didn't

  • 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

  • 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.
