Story of my life
I could pretend to be happy
When the world is ending
And you'd all believe me
I'm a great actor
But never onstage
I can say I'm happy for you
Congrats that's so cool
When under it all

It's hard
It's hard
It's really hard
When there are so many people to balance all the time
So many personalities
So many conversations
Overlapping
Talking over each other
So many big emotions

I think
I think you make me really happy
I think it’s sort of all-consuming
I think I want to be with you every second
Of every day
I think maybe what keeps me up at night
Is replaying you
Replaying us

Together
You’re different
With all of us
Versus just me.
You’re different
With a whole crazy friend group
Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things -
People
People want things from me
This incredible group of people
They want me to mediate
To laugh
To help them with x, y, and z
They want me to come with them
Pulling me in different directions constantly

The notebook.
Stats and tracking

Easily forgotten
It was what, four and a half weeks ago?
sometime after school ended
I wanted to stay for the whole time
I brought snacks for everyone
bagel chips and hummus

Never ending
I'm running
I'm flying
my legs move
back and forth
forth and back
on
and on
and on
faster
faster
the air is avoiding me
I run from my chaser

You are not forgotten
When I was younger, I wasfriends with her son
They moved a lot, especially after
The divorce
But we still made time to see each other
We grew apart but

Anticipating
I don't know what this is
whether it's summer really sinking in
or if it's something else
something more
something worse.
I don't want to turn into this
a puddle of negative feelings and boredom.

Self-conscious and self-judgmental
Everyone always thinks that people act a certain way to please the people around them
to code switch to what everyone else would want
to blend in
and that's what I do, too
except most of what I do

Orpheus
My whole life I have been trying to tell a story so beautiful that the world would fall in love with me.
That is why I befriended words and stage lights.
That is why I watch the details of the world
