what do I do
what can I do
to make a difference and show people that they are loved?
There is a void in the world and I cannot save it or fill it
with pretty words and creative line breaks, I cannot help this,
all I can do is sit here and keep recording in a silly backwards
attempt to romanticize the earth
and the people around me,
as if they weren't already beautiful, and I can't
sit in my car and cry
because I do not have a car and I cannot fill cliche
in real life, only in my mind,
I cannot save your soul or heal your heart,
no hands can hold love, really- only in writing
compassion only works on paper because people have to save themselves,
in the end,
I am so helpless
all I can do is throw myself in the grass and scream my lungs out
and try and get to you.
