rogue

lightning flashes and thunder roars.
people scatter like livestock.
it’s hard to forget who rules the sky.

waves reach their crescendo
and crash onto the rocks by the beach.
it’s hard to forget who rules the sea.

the riverman guides souls across styx for a price.
weeping souls and anguished cries.
it’s hard to forget who rules the underworld.

mature?

mature?

My best friend
Always laughed
When I smiled
And said I'd never mature

My best friend died
Before she could drive
Never getting to grow up
Never getting to mature

You say I'm immature
But I make people happy
I make complete strangers laugh
I make friends smile when they want to cry

Your so mature
You judged me
before you even knew me
But according to you that's maturity

So you can be mature
But I'm going to be me

Unsent

You are my unsent message.
The cursor blinking rhythmically,
With my heartbeat,
Waiting,
For me to hit send.
But I am not ready,
And I’m not sure if I ever will be
So I left it like that.
Unsent. Unseen. Unread.
“I miss you.”
