Rain Running
My watch did not enjoy my run in the rain.
This morning before the other humans had stirred,
I woke to the ringing of an alarm that was not my own,
and saw the irresistible rain.
Now my watch doesn't tell the date.

Teenage Girls: An Angry Rant
I want to write something beautiful
but I don't have anything beautiful inside me.
This spring it has been cloudy and rainy almost everyday,
but oh...those sunny days.

Life Plans, In The Style of Fredrik Backman
Rori Acher is eighteen years old and dying. Any licensed medical professional would pronounce her perfectly healthy. But there are many ways to be dying that are not physical.

Chicago Audition
I used to walk into a theater and it was salvation.
Stage lights and people who filled up a room,
I was happy to watch them for hours.
I wanted to become some part of that
some part of the instant admiration

Faith
They told you to believe.
So you did. With all your heart.
And that heart betrayed you,
again and again,
so you beat it bloody
until it cowered
and you ran from it.

Spring Rain
I don't believe in leaves in March
but here I am, showered full to bursting in May's nakedness
I didn't believe, but I knew the truth, they would come.
I rage,
I weep,

Dead and Alive
I am convinced that me being alive is to also die at the exact same time
I watch the girl in the mirror decaying
She's replaying every word she's heard
The world saying
About her eyes
Her Lips

Winding down
As the school year winds down,
So do I -
And yet
The homework
Does not.
We are saying goodbye
To beloved interns -
Beloved teachers -
If only for the summer -

Being A Teen
Being a teen is like standing at the very edge of a tall cliff. One wrong move and it all crumbles; one wrong dress, one wrong word, one wrong love and you're over.

In that Field
It never happened
that everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
but if it did it would have been
lying in the grass
the kind that surrounds you like the ocean
and flows like a river

What if?
What if I never find it?
What if all of this is for nothing?
I've been hurt by caring before.
It's easier not to...but it's been a freedom for me.
I don't want to give that up.
I want to take the next step.

Amongst the clover
Here you lie,
Upon the grass,
Clover disguising your fragile body.
Far away from your nest and kin,
How did you get here?
Ruining your innocence
Ruining mine
Comes the wheel -
