If you ever fall down,

think of yourself

as a waterfall.
my eyes tell everything
that's not a thing
it's the truth it is
the kind I once missed

one look in my eyes
and I begin to smile
not out of love
no-
that's been a while
cause I don't know
how to react
it's an error in my brain
with pain just like rain

not a mask
just not used to
act
Maybe one day, my eyes smile too...
Would you rather
Live the life you want
and hurt?
Or live the life you need
In hurt?
Contemplating
crying a river
so I can drown in it
building a bridge
so I can reach for someone's hand
as they get over it
and watch me drown
I am not done yet
I may not be 18 or 20
Or even 30
But I am not done yet
I still have things to do
Places to go
Experiences awaiting me
I have voyages to take
Languages to learn
Dances to dance
Songs to sing
I have mountains to climb
Oceans to cross
Writing to write
Laughter to laugh
I still believe
The best is yet to come
I have only begun
I am not done
Not at all
I am the
farthest
geese,
mingling
over
mountains
but when
my
emotions
descend,
I flatten
into a
plateau.
I am not sure yet
is life even worth living
it just seems pointless
Life has given up on me... and me on it...
Its lossing a will
or am I?
They say he’s out there.
My prince.
Maybe in a hoodie,
maybe in a crown.
Maybe late.
Definitely confusing.

He’s not on a horse.
He’s probably on his phone.
Scrolling,
not knowing I’m waiting
like a plot twist.

I don’t want saving,
just someone who sees me
like I’m not background noise.

So I wait.
With sarcasm,
lip gloss,
and slightly too much hope.
My tongue is tied by invisible bonds
I cannot speak my mind
Instead, I layer my words with song
And hope they read between the lines



Can you hear me?
