Turn it up
Music loud
I just want to play it
So hard I can’t think

Get away
Melt
Eyes closing like
Once opened doors

Thorns turned by
Lashes once soft
Pain trickles through
My now scared heart

Deaf ears
We all have
Think you know
Missed attempts we thought

Were successful

Look towards the mirror
Head turns slowly
Looking from reality
To glimpse possibilities

We’re all here
Rubber band drawn across
Lips. Grab tight
But don’t let go

Floors, like puzzles
Worn too far
Open up as a gaping
Nothingness

Up towards the horizon
Smog blocking what
Is potential
Capture what is unclear

Keep digging until
Time passes and reveals
The flowers we all deserve
The sunset
Or Sunrise

Is all yours

Don’t let darkness take it away
