  • ALICE IN CHAINS

    Are you ready for this life? Like tracing fingers on baby feet, you only notice emotions when you feel excitement or pain or certain specific things. Drunk breathing keeping you from going to sleep. Your body vibrates from the movement of your drumming heartbeat. Between the cities and thrills we keep cheap, something inside doesn’t…

  • voyeur

    Dear voyeur, I think about looking through your windows, just to see if you clean your dishes when you come home or if you finish them after you sit-down to eat. If I think of you enough, would you think of me as more than just a memory? You keep our shallow time together as…

  • pink eye

    [subtitle: things i notice when i focus] It’s hard to fall asleep in a restful mundane when a screaming inner child hides behind these adult doors. I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes with my chest swollen with pain and throat scratchy sore. I’m on the second floor, downstairs exists two dogs…

  • guys and christ

    When you’re young, you can easily recall where you first learned something. Now that I’m older, there are some things I wish I could forget. When I was little, I had a list of people I prayed for every night. I would run through it, mention world peace, and blanket statement friends and family if…

  • knobby knees

    I used to fall on my knees and get up easily. Using skateboards and helmets to throw myself down, now I look around and notice how many people grew up before me. Just over five foot tall, twenty four looking over the edge of the Baytown bridge and find the world watching waiting for me…

  • strangers at walgreens

    I only want to leave when I’m comfortable. What does that say about me? I get in my bed and imagine my life better overseas. I leave my peace in a room with two queens thinking that my bed is a better place to sleep. I found familiarity in a stranger today. I wondered if…

  • blonde

    Blurry morning sky, and I’ll rub my eyes awake in an hour. Sitting in the shower, feeling dirty and clean. I wish I could ask him to suck the rot right out of my bloodstream. Gentle baby, touch me just to relieve the part of the seams that are too tight and strung. You’re gone,…

  • masterclickbaiter

    When I get scared on the plane, I picture my neighbor being you. I prop my shoes on the bag you bought me when I turned twenty two. The media is fucked up for selling me this idea of being okay before letting someone play with your emotions. I want to boundlessly skip in the…

  • Birthday (SAD)

    I’m sick and I’m crying in my car. I keep looking around to see if people are looking. I cant stop looking. The nostalgia of an incoming autumn always puts me in some weird headspace. I always get sick. This is my first time being sick alone. It’s incredibly depressing. You make your stupid soup…

  • white noise

    Some people feel what most people don’t. Some people watch people until they implode. Put me in a movie and everybody will know. I’m a star, the one the people say you are, of the movies we watch that remind us of a future not far. The shooting one that disappears into oblivion for me…
