Acquainted

May 21st, 2018

Questions spiral through my head
But answers are nowhere to be found
And I grasp on to what I know is real
Because I don’t know what else is around
So what does friendship really mean
Because I know that it’s been defined
But the more effort that I put in
The more I lose my mind
I give out pieces of myself
I’m spreading myself thin
I hand friendship out like a party favor
To have it end quicker than it began
I don’t know how to trust
But I can’t hold myself back
So I tell them how I feel
And they use it as an attack
They call this insanity
As I do it over again
It’s funny when all I wanted
Was just to be a friend

For once I have nothing to say
And everything at the same time
I use my words to pass the day
With thoughts of another rhyme
I watch everyone as they leave
And close the door behind
Then play it back inside my head
Looped in another rewind
I question my worth to have a high price
That no one is willing to pay
So I walk out and close the door
And loop through another replay

Catch-22

January 25th, 2018

I hear these ideas in my head
And all of them seem wrong
I try to live life day-by-day
To move the time along
I think I need to slow things down
I’m too ahead of my mind
Everything is unresolved
And there’s no solution left to find
I’m asking the same questions
Because the answers always change
I know we think the same things
From the looks we both exchange
Our year is ending soon
An answer was never found
So maybe I’ll leave it alone
And just live in the profound
