IZZI

I haven’t walked this way

Since you and I

began

I haven’t walked this street

I haven’t walked with my head down

I’m most likely

To climb a mountain

And not want to go back down.

I’m most likely

To say things I shouldn’t

And not regret them

It’s that feeling

Of awkwardness

Of excitement

Of twenty million things on the tip of your tongue

Of so many words that will never be said.

I listen to music 

On the bus 

With my teal earbuds. 

The songs 

Do not drown out the noise
