A man got shot today

And yesterday, and the day before that

Some kids too, a president

Will it ever just stop

No

We scream and we snarl and we fight

Whose voice will be the loudest?

We lose sight of where our anger should lie

But…where should it lie?

Whose fault is this?

Did he deserve to die?

Did any of them?

Maybe, maybe not, do we even really know?

Is it even our place to know?

The system ...

Sitting at the back of the parking lot

I watch headlights pass

No one knows I’m dying

I had a revelation

So clear I stopped breathing

My life will be cut short

It’s only a matter of time

It’s not cancer, you see

But cancer of the soul

I’m broken

What is happiness?

I don’t know her

I’ve been fighting half my life,

And I’m tired

So, so tired

How long can I hold on,

Before the sweet embrace of d...

What is a star really,

But fire?

And what is fire really,

But light?

How inspiring it is to be able to say

That we must search for light on our darkest days

“When it rains look for rainbows

When it’s dark look for stars”

Injecting hope into our deepest suffering

With such an aesthetic phrase

Plastered on our timelines in a pleasing font

We must keep faith that the darkness will end

But does G...

I saw him today

That boy I once knew, turned man

He never liked coffee back then

But I hear him order

Some Instagram drink from the corner

Where I sit and watch

He hasn’t seen me yet

And I hope he doesn’t

That part of me is long gone

And I’d like to keep it that way

Locked away in a box

That he holds a key to

And I’m scared

That one look, one word

Many would say she’s a storm in a teacup

Violently thrashing through a mundane life of supposed contentment

Most days, it’s wake up, swing by Starbucks before heading to her 9-5

Maybe a couple of happy hour drinks with coworkers, go home to her cat, rinse and repeat

But sometimes….

She wakes up on a Tuesday and the world is brighter, like everything has been soaked in neon. The birds are sing...
