Last first day
Senior year
Same halls, same walls
Same people
We fought, we laughed, we talked
We goofed and joked and cried
We have one thing in common
This is the last year we’ll roam these halls
Last year we’ll eat at the cafeteria
Play sports
Create inside jokes
I’ll miss you guys

Anxiety, do you think you love me?
Oh mind, do you want to be my friend?

A lonely stone in the full quarry
No chance that it will begin to swim

Shadow girl, with your many faces
With every ash you take to sin

Big voiced tropes steady unfolded
A fear to never tell again

Go home

Surrounded by people
Ones who care
Still feeling awful
Knowing I have to go home

I want to be okay
I need to be okay
I will pretend for as long as I can
So I don’t disappoint those around me
Who need me
Want me
To be okay
Will it ever be,
I have a beautiful day,
alone, to myelf.
Am I here for a purpose?

Do I really have a reason to be?

Why can't I see it?

Why doesn't it call me?

CantSeeMe
you lay on my finger
pitch-black and ginger
tiny but great

most of us would think it's fate
that I’m
a princess
just like in Disney
painless
and
fearless…
wearing a dress
a crown and a corset

but I know better
I'm just a girl in a sweater
you don't like me
you just like my fear
the salt of my sweat
so you could taste it
like sweets

but little did you know
sweat comes with a reason
but your wings still bow
and I don't frown
I just sit and observe
I don't deserve
this
so you fly away
but I still hoped
you would stay
but maybe we'll meet
next season

“sweat comes with a reason”
Yesterday a butterfly came on my finger again...
It started as a joke,
Some harmless fun.
Then the air cleared from its smoke,
I no longer wanted to run.

What’s this new desire called?
I’ve never felt this way before.
My heart now feels loud and stalled;
This is something I can’t ignore.

This must be love,
I see her as a dove.
She lights up my world,
Where shadows curled.
