Time will always go
As I was once so young, but now I am driving
Which shows how I am always growing
And how some things can feel like they were a long time ago
I still want to play basketball and run
For I have gotten better and faster
And I know I will do well, I am sure
Once both sports begin, there will be a lot of fun
I was not that good before
But that is going to change
As I am no longer ...
In this twisted world where people sway,
Masks are worn to hide intentions.
The games they play are never mentioned,
Behind fake smiles is where they stay.
You think they’re loyal, far from fake,
Yet behind their facade, deception lies.
Their feigned concern, a clever disguise,
Leaving only shattered trust in their wake.
It’s fucked up,
Because I really did try,
I strive to be a loyal frie...
Weaven within your palm,
was something I gave you.
Taking my chances, you’re klutzy, it’s true.
Waiting for your words, my mind a timebomb.
You finally have the hour to speak.
I don’t like what you have to reveal.
Your palm is empty, what’s the deal?
My gift is no longer just for you, I feel weak.
To have shared with you, was a mistake.
My essence is nothing of privacy to your mind.
Why wou...
Oh, Mini golf, a whimsical delight,
Where putters swing and balls take flight.
With each stroke, a challenge to overcome,
As we navigate the course, having so much fun.
Through windmills and obstacles, we make our way,
Hoping for a hole-in-one, we eagerly play.
The sound of laughter fills the air,
As we compete with friends, without a care.
The colorful courses, a sight to behold,
As we aim for ...
Last tuesday noon
I went to a bar
I walked out with a scar
I walked in with a wound
With so much liquor to fall into
With so many drinks on the wall
With so many ways I could fall
I think I just fell for you
And at a glance
I walked right to her side
“Excuse me, ma’am
By any chance
Are you the love of my life?”
“I think I am”...
My steps start to falter
They’re not used to leading
My thoughts stain my bleeding
Wrists on the altar.
I’ve sapped my own strength
Have gotten so pale
A waywardly gale
Could rip my constraints.
I hear another
Song in my weakness
Over plunging waves.
It was a song my mother
Sang me to sleep with
In my younger days....
(tw for thoughts of sh)
Alone once again on the filthy floor
My brain too blurry to notice the grime
As if I would have even had the time
One thing ends, and there’s always something more
I think about walking on broken glass
Or peeling my skin back til I see bone
It would be easy to do all alone
To leave this mess that I am in the past
But there’s some unseen pull that stays my hand
Like an...

“did i really want this”,
is the question in my pounding head,
all day i lie in bed,
zach bryan calls that shit pure bliss.
i shouldn’t have done it,
i swear i am smart!
thinking about the words that were whispered in the dark,
but i’m really just a kid.
how did i let it get so messy,
it’s all my fault
3am and still awake:
“i might’ve been too dressy”,
it burns my wounds like salt,
to k...
The phone rings and I just can’t bear the call.
Half truths and vague replies hide how I feel.
We skirt around the topics that aren’t real.
You used to be so big yet now so small.
This year has left doubts and questions in me.
I constantly make excuses for you.
Repeatedly tainting my point of view.
I miss how we all once felt calm and free.
Now I’m on edge every time my phone rings.
Dread the co...
Fresh sea breeze and ocean sky
People riding their bikes, walking their dogs
The cold sun has finally cleared the fog
Surfers in wetsuits run, pelicans fly
Today, my parents made me go on a walk
The pretense behind these walks I despise
Because they’re a comment on my body in disguise
So on the car ride down, I don’t talk
But when I stepped out into the sea air
I felt a part of somethin...
