Resist It
I am begging you, resist it.
I promise that you can.
I know it's hard and challenging
But you know, you know she's banned.
She's off limits.
Don't play that game.
She's poisonous and dangerous.

Crashing
There are so many things in this world.
So many things I could write about.
Love, frilly, pink, soft
Cloudy, foggy, angelic,
With jagged edges, the heartbreak that threatens your world,

Please
Please, can't you say it?
I'm tired of guessing.
Why skip around the truth
Rather than outright admitting it?
We dance like fireflies
Flying around
Not hitting the mark
But making a dent

Real Magic
I sat down
In my seat in the theater.
We waited for the show to start
With anticipation. I loved the book
And now it's on Broadway
And I couldn't wait.
The show started up, and I'm not a theater kid

Conflicting
Conflicting feelings in my brain
In my heart
As I lay awake,
Not entirely sane.
Conflicting thoughts, all knotted up.

I crave something I hate.
I've never liked hugs or the feeling of someone touching me,

The same:
For boys and girls
And everyone in between,
We are supposed to stand
On the same uneven ground,

I’m not brave enough to write his name
We made a bet when we were sixteen.
Actually, you were fifteen.
I knew I’d lose. I did it so you would continue to speak to me. I liked seeing you care about something healthy.
Is that okay to say?

How did we get here?
How did we get here?
With a man who lies
and stirs the storm,
who turns hate into headlines
and power into a joke. -
squishy
There’s a squishy feeling, like your fingers
pressed into soft dough,
the way your body sinks
into the warm, endless bed of a blanket. -
School
School’s great. I *love* waking up early
to sit through hours of stuff I’ll forget.
Lunch? A gourmet mystery I’ll never solve.
Tests? Oh, the thrill of failing with style.
