No tears can explain
No words can describe
The pain that is killing
Deep inside..
I know truth hurts
But it even hurts twice
When you try to comfort
Yourself with lies..
i just got notifications for tryouts  for my school right now, and it really hurt my heart. Knowing the dates and just that i KNOW my friends are all going and im just here. I love being active and it just hurts so much. nobody really understands how much it hurts, i cant even explain it.
I love being home alone

The peaceful knowledge
of having no expectations placed onto you

The welcoming silence
of solely your own voice and opinions

The loving embrace
of the warm air all to yourself

I love being home alone
Just me and the walls
But sometimes it gets dark
The sun setting early
The air becoming stiffer
Aware of my idleness
"Untethered"

shelves of faces wheel past our names
we dissolve on blinking glass—
silent exits logged but never traced
by the circuits that once claimed us

our missteps vanish in tangled code,
no pardon queued;
the platform shrugs in empty bits,
leaving apologies half-typed and gone

perhaps erasure spills relief:
we unhook from worn-out errors,
drop the weight of old regrets
that bruised our shoulders for years

light on our feet, we step beyond the frame
into roads uncharted,
laughter stirred by fresh horizons—
ready at last for what comes next






.
Not the knife’s
butcher drunk
in the walk-

in cooler, nor
the finger-
printless gun

in the church
pew next to
a sleepy

hymnal, she
confesses, if
you want to

**** a thing,
strangle its
tender pink

throat—just
give it to
academia.
Rumbles
like a tank

with the odor
of a rancid tennis shoe

its horn blares

"Move your trash, please!"

but what if I am trash
do I get picked up

or just ignored

never found that
travel broadens the
mind, I could

be wrong, but I
prefer to stay home
with a book
