growing up

a couple of couple tees i held so dearly
the photobox pictures so old the colors faded
a pile of beads bracelets left untouched
and memories so many it's hard to dismiss

the value everyone is holding on now

to give even though i'm running out
to give even though there's nothing left to give
to give to you who is overflowing

i gave you
you took from me
i give you
but now i'm free

connection

distance stay away for instance keeping myself in my radius leading life so tedious i'm confident being independent people tell me to feel otherwise fitting in is a lame investment definitely the path for the unwise on a rainy day she's awake sleepy eyes glued on screen excited another day she spent awake they say another day alienated oh dear that one sentence grabbed all her attention the word she's been yearning all year while longing for companion In fact,  what she needed  was not less social connection,  but connection  that felt more meaningful.
