everyone around me
seems to fall in love
at the drop of a hat
why
can't i see the magic in people?

going home isn’t always
returning to a place.
sometimes
it is returning to yourself.

i crave surface level people,
and surface level conversations.
for once,
i'm so sick and tired of complexity.

on a daily basis
my brain reminds me,
"you'll never fit in".
sometimes i believe it.
but once in a while i realize,
i'm not a puzzle piece.
i will never be.
i wasn't born to fit in this giant puzzle.
perhaps we could all just coexist.

regular routines remain,
trapped in a tenacious loop.
i despise this daunting shovel.
a begrimed bottom i can’t seem to reach.
pain pressures me into prayers,
bystanders beg for me to stop.
when can i be done digging?

august;
your trees grew through the depths of my soul.
your green leaves filled me with hope of new beginnings.
your bodies of water flowed through my veins.
your paths led me to new friends and long conversations.
january;
your abundance is barren.
your trees look foreign and eerie.
your leaves are stripped of color.
your bodies of water are concealed by your icy mask.
your paths are winding with no direction.
ghosts with unfamiliar faces haunt me.

he has redefined love for me
that's why when i think of love
i can only think of him
and everyone else seems foreign

you
don’t
have to battle
everything that life
throws you.
sometimes,
it’s
better not to draw your sword,
better not to pull up your shield,
to put all of your defenses down.
because at the end of that battle
you’ll realize
it wasn’t yours to begin with.
you were in the playing field
but you were never part of it.

i am so small
compared to the mountains
i am so little
compared to the sea
i am so tiny
in comparison to the islands
and i am so large
compared to what i thought i would be
