Poem: Ground Control #1

One of my favorite songs

Promises that it's okay

To drift along in space

And feel lost sometimes,

But the feeling of floating

Indefinitely

Sounds awfully stressful

Because for how long do I need to drift

Before someone realizes and reels me home?

And how would they find me,

So far gone,

If I haven't ever mentioned

That I can feel myself slipping away?

And how can I tell them,

If I don't realize

Until I've drifted too far

To reel back in?

Poem: trying

sorry for my mess today.

i’m doing the best i can...

i know it’s hard to help me out

from the pit of my quicksand,

so sorry for my mess today...

i don’t mean to be a pain.

i’m trying to figure this out

on my own without drowning

in the rain. i’m sorry that

you had to see me this way –

is it more than you can stand?

i’m so sorry for my mess today,

but i’m doing the best i can.

j.p // If you’re reading this, I hope that you’re okay

It feels like life is always leaving me behind.

All my friends are with their lifetime partners. Some are family planning with their spouses.

And here I am, still searching for my person.
