All the focus on having a center.
Yet feeling somewhat scattered.
When we were young
our words worked faster.
Like nothing else mattered.
You bite the tip off your tongue
just feel the blood paint
your mouth thick velvet red.
You take a photograph,
to remember every single
expressionless face you had.
While it is exciting.
But honestly,
I’ve had my fill.
But it is exciting.
In all honesty,
it’s like running up hill.
On, and on.
I don’t want to tell you how to live your life.
Be my guest.
It doesn’t matter if you feel alright.
I confess it’s time for me to have
a little more presence of mind.

Neighborhood Ghosts

Say you remember our neighborhoods.
Will our faces haunt the spaces we once stood?
Or have I forgotten?
Girl, I wish I could.
Bloodshed and tragedy still plagues these woods.
But I don’t understand them.
Our neighborhood ghosts seek witnesses.
"Please don’t surrender."
And "keep up that fight."
An audible rolling of eyes.
No hell is under musk melon sky.
These ghosts are lazy.
These ghosts don’t have the time.
If you said something
along the lines of giving up.
I couldn’t blame you anymore
But If you can’t feel them.
Somehow they’ll learn to let it go.
They couldn't blame you anymore.

No Light / No Time

I couldn’t stand
for weeks on end.
Head in the sand.
Could I please just leave it in?
It seems fine.
No light, no time.
I wrote it down
Everything that I said.
Sick of these same words
But I just keep speaking them.
It seems fine.
No light, no time.
Folded my hand
Again and again.
These sinking feelings
Just lead me to sinking ships.
It seems fine.
No light, no time.
Squandered remains
Of this fortunate grip.
Fingers are useless
appendages without hands.
It seems fine.
No light, no time.

Lake Monster

Owning up to your favorite words.
Heads up.
We’ve got heads up high enough to
See what we see hiding in disbelief
As our lake levels rise, flooding the scenery.
I wouldn’t cry, if i didn’t try,
I should not be expecting to survive it.
Just hold on.
(ooooooooh)
Heavy words beat hearts like marching drums.
(ooooooooh)
At least we’ve got our arms and legs and ambition.
Waking up is hard.
Holding hands with hope is just one start.
Keep faking all your parts.
Seeking emptiness with a hollow heart.
