Home Is The Place
It's been two years
Since I moved here
One year
Since I called it my home
Home is the place
With more dirt roads
Than paved
And the dirt roads
Carry the name
Of your friend's grandfather

Why Can’t I be Both
Why can’t I be both
Why can’t I like
Crop tops
And still support
Women’s rights
Why can’t I wear makeup
And still think
All bodies
Are beautiful
Why is it bad

The Way Of Life
One foot
Infront of the other
Head held high
Flat expression
On my face
The only sign
Of any emotion
Are my fists
Clenched by my sides
Or my thumb
Tapping each finger

I'm Sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for what
My country is doing
For what we seem to think
Is OK
I'm sorry for how
My president is acting

Heart of Glass
If I hand you my heart
My heart made of glass
Don't shatter it
Don't have the shards
Splay across the ground
Don't hand it to someone else
To crush it
Beneath their fingers
But if it does
Loves

Anymore
I don't know you anymore.
I learned this
Today.
Gone is the silly boy
As tall as I was
That purple beanie obsession
We all shared -
Tank tops in summer, Crocs all year round,
Not anymore.

infinitely halfway
I want to grow up but I don’t.
But I do
but I don’t.
But lucky for me I don’t have to make that decision.
I’m forced to grow up whether I like it or not.

A Girl Can Dream
When I saw you
No, not when I
saw you
But when I
saw you.
That was when I knew that there was something among me that needed you
always
to be
near me

Little Musicians
The beginners of the beat,
Just learning the ropes,
Figuring out their instruments -
They come in,
Wide-eyed,
And regard the older kids
With awe.
I love to be looked at this way

tired perfection
The lies are ready on your lips, practiced, you done this a thousand times, but you falter. You falter and shatter the illusion of truth.

Dew-drop
In a dew-drop, a little world exists
A place turned blue and silver by the light
That lingers well beyond the morning mist.
In a dew-drop, a little world exists
