March
Angsty anyone?
01
Bars
It's a crime to be ashamed
of things that were out of your control
Lock me up in a jail cell
with bars made of hope
and a key around my neck
I'll still happily sit ashamed
with my hood down
02
Who Cares
No of course you wouldn't care
If there was a war
It's not the rich that joins
or the ones that says they're "poor"
No,
it's the ones that are actually poor
The ones that joined for security
For healthcare that the recruiters dangled
in our faces
The ones that were promised housing
a life where you can travel the world
The ones that will die
for politicians
disguised as world peace
03
Collateral Losses
Another statistics
Another number
No
Another child
Another parent
Another friend
04
Hate
No I can't forgive
Sometimes
It might be harder to hate
Yet here I am
So
You can hate me too
05
Sink Hole
I look into your eyes
to see more pain
to feel more aches
to hear you say
"I'm okay"
but I know your every waking moment
is to live in my shadow
to say you'll protect me
just to drag me back
to the past that haunts
that hurts
that remembers
the me I try so hard to forget
06
Now
I want to enjoy the now
while I still remember you
as the one that loves me
the laughs that might slowly fade
into tears
then
nothing
07
To feel is to remember
To feel is to remember
to know
to have
then I'll get to nothingness
an empty vessel
that forgets
that is lost or found
who knows
08
A river that flows
A river that flows
with all the life it carries
can destroy the life outside
so we poison it
with "life" outside
09
Lucky sand
How lucky it is to be sand
that can sift through the cracks
free in the wind
soft to the touch
unlike my rough hands
grabbing
taking
strangling your freedom
wishing you were sand
so you can blow away
10
Uncertainty
If I keep strumming
this old guitar
will the vibration
of all the news and reports fade
or blend into the music
to make it all more bearable
​
No
don't put on the headphones
don't shut it out
just listen to my guitar
it'll make it all more...
okay
11
Why can't I sing
I try to sing
a simple C
but notes refuse
my weak heart beats
12
Fools spring
Only fools can be teased
with the fake spring
the sudden heat wave brings
as if flowers randomly sprouted
as if birds all got out and mated
But all we want is wish and hope
for the warmth after the snow freezing
everything
13
Hand
When was the last time
I held your hand
or made you laugh
or made you cry
When was the last time you felt
anything
when you think of me
14
Catch
When will I finally catch
all the things that are thrown at me
maybe I need gloves
or glasses
or stop dodging
just reach out
and catch
