I break things
I hurt people
I delete words
I keep secrets
Its because
I am frightened
Its because
I grew up
knowing that
these things
can conceal
my feelings
—I am a lost cause

 Nov 2018 Call me Oliver
Strung
Am I glass to myself?
So easily shattered.
See through the image I talk about;
Do I pretend to be different
Than a mirror of doubt?
Reflect back only critics
Buckets of loss
With every look in the eye,
A victory tossed.

If you’re only here to unwind the anxious chains around my heart
If you’re only here to teach me that God is kind
If you’re only here to grace me in self-appreciation
even if that’s all you do
then come
I need you at my side
There are nights I cry so hard that my
body aches and I shake and I have to
put my head in my pillow so no one
hears me..

There also nights I’m happy that
you’re happy and I think everything
happens for a reason..

And there also nights where I feel
nothing at all..

But there is never a night that you
don’t cross my mind ...
