You’re so beautiful
You could have any man
I opened my mouth
And they all ran
A fountain of knowledge
A rock of truth
I shuttered at your touch
Within that booth
You spoke of something
I hadn’t heard before
So I went home and banged my head on the floor
Because I knew nothing
And didn’t deserve much more
Squashed
Like a bug
You held my hair
Manic feet
Nobody stared
I came here
Unprepared
Praying it would be the same
Hoping to never feel this way again
A moment suspended in time
Trapped in my own mind
Reliving that summer
Again and Again
Was it all pretend?
The highlights
Of your dewy skin
Our youth
Beckoning
Ears opened
Senses cued
Fresh intake
Feelings misconstrued
Present tinglings
Silent thoughts
A lit match
A mindset wrought
The leaves fell gingerly
As the wind blew the flames
Infinitesimally I felt
It was all the same
The world roared around me
But it never said my name
I ran into the brush
Hoping it would change
Like a phoenix
ReBourn
I found my place
I ran in a circle
Just to find that it never ends
My emotions begging to bend
So I cried to my friends
Who told me it all depends
If, I’m okay
If, it’s just today
That making me feel so shitty
White girl problems
It’s nothing to pity
