Avoidant Discard

March 2nd, 2025

I don’t understand why
You wanted to play me
I gave you time and space
And this is how you repay me

Note: Mercury Retrograde started yesterday, and it’s already bringing the past to light. I don’t share my poetry for anyone but myself, to document my life as I’ve experienced it.

The Things I Know

July 6th, 2011

Things I had once known
Are no longer what they are
And I may have lost myself
But I don’t think I got too far
Tell me who I am
And I’ll show you who I’m not
But what is the truth
I think I forgot
Everything is changing
I guess I’m not so sure
And things I thought would never change
Aren’t what they were before
But things will never stay
I’ve known this all along
And the only time I questioned that
I found that I was wrong
So I take things as they are
And I’ll take things as they go
Because this is who I am
Because this is what I know
