She worries they won’t like her if she was to change
He worries she won’t like him, if he stays the same

Strange Things
Let us fall
Although children we may no longer be
In this skin torn, old, and wrinkly
We begin
Again and again
Like the seeds falling from a tree
Birthed from death
Oh what a strange thing to see
My drifting soul becoming me
Little Boat
I birthed it,
The story that I wrote
Out of a dream I had
Of me laying on a little boat
Soon I woke with vague memory
Thoughts I could not define
What was I doing on a boat on that dream of mine
Truth
I think it was lost
But no one really knew
So no one ever searched
For what can’t be proved
Numbers and charts that say nothing at all
Misleading us to think that the truth isn’t far
It was written somewhere, but where… I forget
The bible must’ve had it, but it failed to translate
She Was
She was a child
Happy with no cares
Explosions sounded close
But she had no fears
She was a child
No stress yet learned
And so she saw fireworks
As her world burned
She was… Me
Answers
I made a short video of my poem “Answers” I hope you enjoy.
She
She is not lost
She just hasn’t found her destination
Locked in a cage
But freed by her imagination
Faint
A scent that takes me back
Images that fade to black
Things I almost remember
Candles burning red
Ideas in my head
That make me wonder
Was it a dream I had
Or a book I read
Or childhood memories of December
I miss it all so much
My grandmother’s touch
Then I forget everything and I feel… better
Smile
She wears a mask
Unashamed
Not because she’s ugly
Not because she’s afraid
Behind the mask she can safely hide
She knows they don’t care to know the colors inside
Truths can’t be untold
Here she lays with a different mask to hold
No More Apples
Surrounded by thousands
Still feels alone
This city just does not feel like home
This body is not my own
Soul wanting to burst out of a body
This is not where it belongs
Adam ate the apple
While I suffer his mistakes
