aww u sweetheart xx you can do it too as long as you practice and have confidence that what you have to say is important! i'm running out of poems for y'all ):

in all this chaos we are
floating things
trying to grab onto what we know
can't stay she
wants love a thousand miles
into a broken boy's
broken promises he
just wants to be comfortable with all the lukewarm
that makes his life
easy i
have always wanted everything my way, so we are all
basically fucked.

---

everything is a speed train refusing
to stop for that stray bird SPLAT! i am not
scared i am

---

furious why is my family
the only thing I don't want to come home to why does home
lie in the arms of three girls who will be but maps
in no time why am i unwrenching
pieces of myself into car parts for a boy
who has no engine why do we have to say goodbye

---

when we are hanging on
so
tightly?

---

and falling apart?

---

the direction our parents taped us together with is
peeling off from all the water
in our cracks we don't know what to do
with all this time of not knowing
what the hell to do there is no fork in the road.

---

we are tip-toeing on hot plates and drinking
straight gin so we can pretend
the flesh on our feet isn't melting we are melting

---

in all the lies we have told ourselves these past
four years get into college
and you'll be okay
get people to like you
and you'll be okay
don't trust any boys
and you'll be okay

---

does anyone here
seem fucking okay?!
