Unforgivable
Turn the loans back on With the flip of a switch But don't tax the rich Don't tax the religious Instead, just dangle the prize Student loan forgiveness To keep them in line

One of the habits I came to learn over the years is the art of understanding when it's time to leave; to walk away from where I am not wanted. Yet, truth be told, this was no simple feat for me; I used to hold on tightly on things, unwilling to let go. But one day, I snapped out of it and realized that that is not what I deserve.
Then, we met...after years of waiting and missed opportunities. We met, and just like that, you became a hard habit to break. I know where we stand, you and me. So, tell me, how do I leave when I know I am wanted, I just am not the only one?
s.a., caffeine thoughts #3

its haunting you know
my face frozen in time
is this how I looked to you?
in the cold November nights
when we sat by the basketball ground
and you asked me
what do you think about Ash?
I couldn’t tell you
about the fleeting thoughts
of ephemeral grief and love
that were larger than my hands
larger than the love I had for you
what do you think about Ash?
my friend asks while she freezes me in time
my skin warms of the sun that faces us
my eyes wander to the air that’s charged with us
my thoughts run all over the words of the song that’s playing for us
its haunting, this love this temporary permanence of life and moments
the soft passing of time
the harshness of memories
its all caught up within me
and i’m frozen in time, all over again.

Dance
The music sways
More than my hips
Smaller than my smile
I stumble a step
But it’s fine
I’ve carved this time
It is precious
It is mine

You ( I) were killing yourself
Very much slowly
I could hear the sound of my heart
My eyes moving slow
Yet the reactions shutting down
Maybe i was okay with this
I don’t know let me tell it
Don’t fall again
I had nothing else to give
Just damaged heart
Hoping to feel love again

She is beauty
She is grace
She is fire
And she is passion;
She is joy
She is pain
She is love
And she is heartbreak;
Sorrows hidden deep
In the hallows of smile lines
Concealing all that is the color of the lights,
The ones that dance in her eyes
Cloudy on the clearest day;
She is beauty
She is grace
She is warm
And she is cool to the touch;
A statue
Observing her own will;
She does not let go.

Coming back to familiars
After being an unfamiliar
Looking back after looking away
Intensity after callousness
Is hard
Sometimes returning back to love is hard
Lifting burdens is hard
But being a burden is hard infinitely
What if the love you have lost is self love
What if you are returning to your own soul after caging it?
Your potential is disgusted with you
Your own mind judges you
Your own soul an enemy
Can you still return?
How do you make it up to your own self?
Maybe reset like a computer
Maybe switch myself off and on again
By jumping off a bridge
Hoping in the next life my soul will be amnesiac
Is that why I teeter at the edges?
Is it the only way?
One day I may step off the edge
And find out if my soul forgives me

Love and hate and elephants
Take up too much space
Make a try for elegance,
There’s yearning in your face

Failure
It hovers.
 It waits. 
It is sure that the day it’s presence will be accepted is rapidly approaching.
 It stares down at the girl, her form curled tight in a ball, the covers wrapped around her like they stand a chance at protecting her, the cotton spread her best armor. She’s close, she has to be or else it would not take up so much of the room. She’s still a child, right on the cusp of adulthood, but her mind stays young. She never changed, always stagnant and proud, always trying to adapt. She thinks it will help her, this strength, she thinks it is the cure. But maybe the kids who didn’t adapt got a completely new lens. When something isn’t repairable it gets replaced, and maybe getting replaced is what everyone else experienced while she stayed the same, her wounds covered in bandaids. Every scratch leads it closer, and it has been fooled into thinking she will accept it before. But she is hard headed. She has pulled out of the darkness before.
 It thinks she may be aware of its presence.
 It thinks the knowledge emboldens her.
 It thinks she thrives off avoiding accepting it. She doesn’t know she’s only hurting herself. She avoids its presence because she thinks it spells the end, she thinks something is over when acceptance occurs. She doesn’t know acceptance is no relief. It is only a fake promise. It is not the acceptance that changes people, it is the blindfold lifting, the ignorance dying, as they found their lives unchanged. It is the knowledge that there is nothing out to get you, nothing chasing you around as you live and exist. It is the knowledge that you are not staving off some outcome you don’t wish to accept. It is the recognition of the end, the lowest you can go, the recognition that even if there is relief in there being no further you are still well below with no plan out. The bottom is not a relief it only exists to taunt you with its looming presence. 
It wonders when she’ll cave, 
and the girl finds herself pondering the same question.

Take A Loss To Live: 9/1/2021
What are we But particles Floating on the winds of the Universe
So small-minded That we fail To ever see the big picture
Instead
We kill each other Because our meaningless ideas May happen to differ
Meanwhile Our planet turns against us
This Mother we call Earth Is gearing up To shed our existence
Her temperature is climbing And in turn Her seas are rising Her weather grows stronger
And yet We argue Over the color of the sky
While those with the power to change Can't see past the dollar signs in their eyes
So make no mistake Their corporate greed alone Will be the reason All of humanity dies
Eventually

Hello, again
It’s been a while, hasn’t it
I do not think I can slip back
Into this quite as easily as I
Left. It’s not for lack of practice
Believe me. Words have found me
Along with so many other, human things
My emotions are no longer shrouded
Like a fog I stumble through, they
Are embraced with every wave and I
Started a business too, truly
It’s small, barely there, but it’s mine
And now looking back, I can taste the
hopelessness in my previous state
The bleak grasping at nothingness
Expressed in ink at midnight.
Can you relate?
Let this be a silver lining message, then.
If you are so deep in the trees that you
Cannot remember the shape of moonlight
Know that it is still there, above you
Waiting for you to leave the woods
You will.

I wonder did i lose the urge to write
Maybe i was hurting more
I felt these poems more then ever
At this time i was drowning
I become quiet
More silence
I didn’t know anymore
Just the point of living to the next day

standstill space
no one has entered that one room upstairs for seven days, not after what they had found there.
but unlike what one might expect, the room is clean — it was left untouched when they were gone for a week, and it was made dirtless before they had a reason to go.
all the clothes are folded neatly inside closed closets, the bed is perfectly made, and the floor is spotless — minus the dust that had gathered and a few stray hairs. almost everything is in its proper place.
so no one dares to enter the room, maybe because they want the room to remain as it is.
but hunches started to form about that room during the time they were away.
some warned them that moving even just a speck inside might make the house be cursed by spirits.
others insisted they should never enter the room unless they wanted to witness paranormal activities firsthand.
but some said they firmly believed disturbing the still, unchanged room may rather scare away all those spirits — leaving no trace behind, whether within those walls or within their minds, that a spirit's presence was ever really there.
and maybe they aren't ready for that yet.

Uncontrollable
Uncontrollable like a flame, I couldn’t fit in a frame.
I called you via phone and slipped through the gates.
I ripped my heart and my soul just to stick to my name.
My goal is to slowly grow and piss in the rain.
Sorry I’m not sorry but this shit ain’t a game.
Went home to get changed and things froze in to place.
Why the show; if you was ready to quit ‘fore I came.
Wind spits and I roll, retracing on the strip I was raised.
Mark my words because we’re getting sick all the same.
JP
