Families separated ‘Zero tolerance’ repeated Greed rewarded Explosions escape unnoticed Forests continue to vanish Orangutans for Oreos Couple of degrees hotter this year We go to the beach Ripples of plastic soup hit our feet Storm scatters sand to our faces But they’re already buried Nodding to ‘Nice for what’ What are we doing? Earth keeps spinning Time tick tick ticking

Ex-lover We once swayed together With no music Now there’s another Sweet love turned sour Gangrenous odour My intestines on fire I try and extinguish with water There’s only one survivor

We are told from an early age Never settle for anything less than the best An idealistic proverb I was taught to live by And I tried Well behaved Top grades New friends, no boyfriends Extra-curricular dance and sports Perfect reports Best university and the coveted job I’m where I want to be But there’s a look of pity And your words blurt out Have you thought about settling down? Like my entire life has just been the trailer to my movie marriage Like I hadn’t noticed the buzz of engagements and weddings Like I’m incomplete and you think you’ve just given me the answer Please stop I’m not a box So don’t try and tick me I’m a rocket about to launch So put on your glasses For there’s going to be a lot of dust

I knew His reputation I’d been warned to stay away Anyone but him He cycled towards me Blue eyes, blond hair and a smile that lit up my day We were lost together Yet I felt perfectly safe I didn’t listen to the warnings I fell But he swept me up and I flew Through luminous clouds and hurricanes Experiencing highs and lows I never had before Until that inevitable day when he left And I landed in a puddle of all the tears shed And I swam to my lifeguards
