I knew l began to like you
When l do my homework at school
So I’d have more time to talk to you in the evenings

Brandon 7d

I’m quiet.
Timid.
Scared.
Reserved.

Everything is based on an act of intention
And confidence…

And I make the first move
It’s to establish fresh neurons and connectivity
As one another
And one alike

My confidence doesn’t evolve
To reach this triumph
I’m weak and unskilled to innate
It hurts when l hurt.
It’s an issue only l can resolve.

Untethered

It’s cold..
People are around
But people don’t see me
Between four walls…

Loneliness
Quietness
Stability
Socialism

Everything fades
Am l really who l think l am?..
Do l deserve the same feelings others get?

It’s between me and what l desire
I don’t know if l have the strength to get there..

Distracted.

Look around, the air is still
You notice each breath you take
Each muscle contracting and releasing
Is this what being conscious is?
Is this what being alive is?

Live in the moment they say
Enjoy and capture every opportunity..
Seize what you’ve never had..

But..
What happens when you stop
You lose sight of what you can’t uncover
As you lose grip of what sight is unseen

Because what’s here is yours..
And what’s left is gone for another.

Tick… Tick.. Tick.

Is what you love still there?
Is the old passion still alit?
Is everything still within arms reach?

Or?

Is it the days that pass by?
Days turning into months into a dystopian blur
Is conformity now your daily drug?
Of something you once had…

Tick…
Tick..
Tick.

Sonder:

It hurts,

The loneliness?
The late nights?
The scattered progression?
The thirst you have for what you love?

No.

The feeling, we’re digging graves to opportunities we haven’t met yet.

Remorse

I'm too emotional
Good luck to my future wives
And their future lives without me
You guys will do great!
I'm sure that I've prepared you for every guy you'll date
And every guy you'll marry
And every guy you'll hate
