August 12th

And I looked in the mirror,
“I know who you are,
And you’ve won today,
But you will not win everyday.”

& Our Bodies

When you see an aging building
Or rusted bridge,
You are seeing nature
And man
Working together.

Duster

I’m great at talking

Not so great at holding it inside

I’m great at walking

Not so great at taking it in stride

Therapy Pt. 1

I’d like to pick a fight with whoever made up this game in the first place.
Throwing jabs at the sky like I could almost reach it.

And so here I am at 2:28 am still drinking.
Hiding behind the me that I’ve chosen to show everyone.

Waves

Things will get better,
Because they always do.

And things will get worse,
Because they always do.

Lomelda

No good intention is ever good enough
To feel like I’ve done nothing wrong

Once you know what the question is

You’ll understand what the answer means
