Tomorrow
Will come quicker
If I close my eyes
Tomorrow will be filled
With more false smiles
As I clench my jaw
Enduring the pain
In my head
Because I have to work so hard
To not make your day bad
Fry Aug 2020
Windows surrounding me
As I try to drift off
In the parking lot
Behind the apartment
You sleep so soundly in

I wish I were better
The perfectly polished
Trophy
You always wanted
I wish I was gold shining
Bright enough
To blind you from
His scuffs
I wish I could
At least make
His life better

I could message you
Go back to when you would help
But the thoughts filling your mind
I shouldn’t add
To your list
A burden
All that’s left behind
I’ve left my shell behind
And now I visit
Hoping soon
It will be fine to be back
Yet it feels like that day will never come
Fry Aug 2020
I remind everyone
Every day
How they deserve
Every good thing
And so much more
Yet I can’t justify
Me deserving anything
I do deserve
The life I’m stuck with
Why keep fighting to change it
Fry Aug 2020
Scrolling back weeks
Thinking I’ll find
Some word that will
Remind me why I’m here
But no matter how far I scroll
They seem to be empty promises
Left behind

Two years
Till I officially
Can leave
Two years
Till you say you will
Move across the country
Two years
Seems very far away
In
Two years
Many things can change
