existential crisis
extinct or extant
what comes next
remember snow
how about clouds
the IPCC says
it’s too late
we’re past
the point of no return
children cry
now it’s time
for all to die
Is anyone else afraid of climate change, and what it means for humanity?

i hate laying in bed
hearing my heartbeat
reminding me
of my mortality
and how few beats
i have left

you’re beautiful
but not useful
conceited and vain
an Instagram princess
a scarecrow
without a brain
Frank Baum's Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz

what does it all mean
this blank canvas you gave me
what do i do
with these paints and brushes
with no instructions or directions
Any analogy to life and find one's purpose

damaged
put away

like a used toy
discarded

forgotten
in a dark closet

desperate
hoping praying

to love
and be loved

i didn’t keep the gift
you gave me
the fairy tale yarn
you’d spun
i threw it away
when I woke
to the reality
that you’d left
shattering my heart
extinguishing my soul

you are a siren enchanting mesmerizing
beckoning calling daring me to approach
when you sing no man can resist
like a fool i jumped from the of my ship
swam an ocean of lustful emotions
reached the beach beheld your presences
approached kissed your lips
knowing on a whim death was certain
