F Turning feelings into poems, just like turning potatoes into fries
keep digging, keep digging as if the dirt holds what i need while the hole keep widening while the dust makes it hard to breathe while the ground is losing its floor keep running, keep running as if my legs still know the way while my feet are heavy as stone while the mind keeps calling this "home" while the heart whispers "it's not"

The Endless Dig
Surprisingly, I no longer wish to bleed on paper Maybe because the world has seen enough Of the sharp edges you carry Surprisingly, I no longer wish to trace your name Maybe I'm just exhausted From reciting the same heartbreak Surprisingly, I no longer wish to ink the "yet-to-come" Maybe because it's a shared secret That the horizon is always out of sight Surprisingly, I choose to write in silence Maybe because for once I finally have nothing to say

Surprisingly.
i’m leaving this town like leaving a conversation unfinished words hang between buildings and i pretend not to hear them i’m leaving this town but it grips the edge of my shirt as if it knows there’s something i never finished saying i leave half my heart behind and carry the rest in the shape of worry i let the distance gather what fell apart just to let me breathe so I don’t drown i let the lamps stay lit tonight on roads that remember my way home so someday i can return and when that time comes let me be brave enough to face the day

A Pause
unspoken truths you chose to bury unaccepted excuses dressed as reasons unhealed wounds i still carry in silence unforgivable words untrusted promises that once felt like home unrepeated mistakes because this time, i close my eyes choosing ignorance over another wound

the night flooded by words every wind carrying questions but why on earth do you choose nothing when i was drowning in everything?

I’m drowning in words Not because I have nothing to say But because there’s too much They gather at the edge of my lips Freezing there And I don’t think he would listen I’m drowning in emotions Not knowing what I truly feel right now Disappointed, angry, and sad Yet wanting to be happy, joyful, and calm So I keep it all myself Forcing a smile Even when it takes everything in me I’m drowning in daydreams White, pink, and yellow The only colors I let myself see Even though I love blue I push it away Because blue tells the truth And I just want to smile I’m drowning in myself So deep I barely recognize who I am I feel the need to speak To let the world drown in my words To shout that I’m tired of it But I can’t So I let the world choose my path As if I were never here

Unsaid, Unseen
Blue has come Blood on fire Heart beating fast Stabbing deep into my chest Hands waving Begging for a grasp To pull me out To the white, pink, or yellow Anywhere but blue

Drown
You know my heart's desire Yet you meet it with nothing but rebuttals My breath runs dry, saying "it's not enough," But you won't even lift a finger So I’ll embrace the distance And seek my own sanctuary

Blue
every year every new year my paper stays blank, even dusty. still, i keep holding onto that granite, hoping that someday i’ll write something at least one sentence, “i want to be happy.”

Nothing New
once i asked You and You showed me then. but maybe the stupidity grew bigger than logic i still asked for another sign as if Your whisper wasn't enough and maybe I wanted thunder not silence meant yes.
