sometimes i eat my worries away -

wrappers on the floor collect pools of tears

calorie-counting is out the window

an accumulation of chaotic fears

flashes of salty snacks in hand

blurs of yellow, red, white

lost of grace, i stuff my face

losing logical, helpful sight

and i sit in a puddle

plopped on the ground

like a worthless blob of dough

settling, melting without a sound

but i chuckle to myself

to break down shameful silence

at the tastes on my tongue

at my food-filled blindness

and i imagine shadowed parents

looking down at me in shame

i gather reasoning in my head

but there's no one else to blame

except maybe my lack of friends

lack of trust i have for others

piling homework in the corner

no one i love to smother

and so i smother myself with food

don't know whether to feel upset or better

but i promise myself i will try harder tomorrow

and i button up my sweater

back into the world where i hide myself

where i dress for everyone else,

where i eat for everyone else,

where i smile for everyone else

and i search for control

in an uncontrollable public reality

i head back to my humble home

i control what i eat, and i feel free

Palpable is the love emanating from the

Residents who consider the app their

One true home.

Safety in numbers was just a phrase before Prose

Eased its way into our everyday lives.

Packing up my white dress I leave behind all bad memories

Running towards you with a promise to create new ones

Obstacles will cease to exist when I am in your arms

Surviving with out you is not a joke for I will die if you are not by my side

Eternity will be ours, now all we need is our unconditional Love.

don't let your

pride

stop you

from

correcting

your mistake.

how can you

anticipate

anything

from someone

who isn't capable of

feeling empathy?

I am an Introvert;

recharging best in solitude,

exhausting most when socializing,

yet I still prefer we over just me.

We can discuss things I didn't know.

We can carry two different ends of a long table.

We can feel-think-and-move independently of each other.

We is better than just me.

With just me and no you to make we,

I am a tree in the forest falling unheard,

nothing more than a proverbial sight unseen,

the very definition of a nobody.

With we there's us and infinite possibilities.

how selfish it is

to think too much 

about ourselves

when we are less than

one billionth 

of the world's population
