Away From Home




That accent gets me every time
and those eyebrows got that sharpness
like the darkness after sunset
You remind me of that feeling of
letting go when you are being yourself 
-defining
Unapologetic 
If you truly know who you are, good job

How I See It




You were broke down a long time ago
A missing link in childhood
feels like masses against you
and gusts of breath ain't no fresh air
Just tragically passive aggressively
rolling eyes at the mistakes
that haven't occurred yet
Is that what "nothing" feels like?
Numbness isn't feeling "not a thing"
It's holding onto a pain
and letting it grasp right back
