i wanted to write today
unburthen my soul as some may say
but the words didn’t come to the tip of my tongue
the way they usually do

In the hall, the wind opens and slams closed a door

i’m searching for something
i don’t know what
i’ll find distraction or insight or something sometimes
but it won’t be it because
how do you find something without knowing what you’re looking for?

Outside, the neighboring kids laugh and play hide and seek

the search won’t work with forced and false words
i’ll have to input my query again
this time, i'll wait for
Authenticity
