I cling to these drenched rails
of a strangers rocking ship,
one I boarded all while knowing
how the water makes me slip.
Im so tired y’all let’***** that yeet

Perhaps the world had been too kind,
Or not kind enough.
The reaper of judgement knows not,
Traveling from land to land,
Continent to continent.
But one thing stays the same:
How easy it would be.
To do what exactly,
Remains up to the gods,
The weight of their decision
At the tip of his fingertips.
The feel of electricity
Courses through his veins,
Untamed, unbridled,
Ready to be unleashed.
No one would dare stop him
When the time came.
Until then,
He waits in the shadows,
Hidden, safe.

I was just a tiny part of your big beautiful story.

You can forget me and continue your journey.

To dance through the
negotiations of gods and men,
To pull the strings
tighter than the strings of your dress.

Adrift from hand to hand,
with fingertips soft as leather
and a head as empty as the city,
you delicately play your hand.

God has woven your souls,
or so the legend is told.
But somehow I find you four years later
With another man, and a country to rule.
Oof y’know?

To stand over the world,
to watch the turn of time—
I don’t think I’ll be ready
to take on the burden of a god.

So here I sit, waiting—
I will sit and watch until my last breath.
I will await my end, so hellbent on gods
that I will miss the time I had dreamed of.
I don’t want to fail my classes but here I am, writing incomprehensible poetry instead of doing my biology homework. I have the ap exam in three weeks!!

the trees are budding
and everyone is sneezing
but I breath easy
i put my phone down and made this observation around me. very happy winter is gone.
