Past

September 13th, 2018

I live in a world
Of closet doors
Filled with people
Who don’t know me anymore
They don’t know me
They only knew my past
But none of that is relevant
Because life goes by so fast
So try to pretend
When none of it’s true
I’m not the same person
That you once knew

Burning

August 13th, 2018

I’ve been siloed
You’re triggering my depression
I don’t know how to handle
All your passive aggression
You corned me
You robbed all my possibilities
You left me with nothing
But your hostility
Your actions differ
Then what you said were your intentions
When I wanted you to notice me
I got your inattention
This feeling is ineluctable
I’m overwhelmed by your censure
This building is filling
With nothing but tensure
I’m gasping for air
I need to respire
But this feeling won’t resolve
If I don’t step out of the fire
