Because She Never Noticed
She was a smart girl
She was pretty
She was kind
She was hard to get
The only thing in the world she lacked
Was how to be in a relationship
She sat alone at lunch
She walked alone in P.E.

No One Remembers
A secret
A choice
Back then, we were just so
Oblivious and so insensible
To the clear misunderstanding
right in front of our faces
-
As if
We sit alone together
Pretending to be something we wish we were
Not liking the something we are
Because, maybe pretending to be something we're not
Will fix all our issues

The Hollow Pumpkin
The season changed and so did you
Growing cold and flicking me away
As if I was just a fly that flew
Too close to your nose
And as golden leaves fall to the ground,
Sometimes I feel like I did too

Shadow
I trudged behind you,
eyes locked with your back.
I'd gotten unpleasantly comfortable
letting you take the lead.
Sometimes I felt like an actor,
playing the part of your shadow.

An Impossible Friend?
Do you remember that tall tree
with the wide trunk and knotted roots?
The one that stood alone in the middle
of a wide field that seemed to stretch for miles?
No? You don't?

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
but for what, you might ask?
Some people know
other people don't need to know
the point is that the message gets across.
I get it
I didn't mean to lash out at you
well, actually I did

Reflections of the Lake
I sit here, silent, staring up at the sky where the sun seemed to be seconds ago,
a special kind of calm can be found in the sunset
I think.
Thinking is not unusual, as thoughts, they never stop

We’re More Than Just Kids
To adults, we’re just kids with phones. To us, those phones are the only way we’re ever heard.

Not Just a Screen
You say we are ‘lazy’, ‘soft’, ‘don’t care’, ‘ungrateful’. You don’t see the hours we spend
Studying late, memorizing formulas, writing essays, solving problems,
Trying to be everything you expect us to be. -
wanting, without direction
today's air tastes like berries
and overused metaphors. the shadows run
across golden ground, and i look
at our old stone wall like they would in farmers' days.
a boundary, a gate
