The Tree of Then and Now
THEN
Cupped palms
They hold a seed
One seed
It will change things
Not now

Person on the Bridge
You stand on the bridge,
Contemplating the water.
I don't have to tell you this,
You already know.
You look out.
I don't know
If you're looking at the river
or at the bridge
that's halfway

For old times' sake
I don't know you.
I knew your laugh and the way your eyes crinkled,
I knew that you loved chocolate and hated shrimp,
I knew everything about you,
But I don't know you.
Not anymore.

When I write
When I write,
It's not so he can read it.
It's not for my friends to read
It's not for my teachers
My acquaintances
My enemies.
I don't want
People to see me.
I don't want

I Wrote A Poem About You
I wrote a poem about you.
One you probably won’t read.
Because I don’t have the courage
And it defeats its purpose anyway

It Gets Better
Sometimes
I wake up
And I just can’t
I can’t get up
I can’t go to school
I can’t go get my meds
Why?
Because sometimes
It’s too much
Accepting this world
Is just too much
And I just can’t
Make myself
