don't you know?
on this beautiful evening i’ve made a spot for myself on this front porch of mine. i’m heavy inside. heavy from the pain. the frustration.
i need to be picked up.
dusted off.
tears dried.
eyes opened.
it’d be great to be a kid again, to feel that warmth and security in your parents arms, knowing everything was just right. i always relate things to my childhood because...

dead leaves on the dirty ground
i want to get out of here.
never in my life have i ever felt less impassioned or more empty. i am pretty consistently surrounded by people i love.. and i love that, but i hate it here. i want to move away.. move on.. just move.
are we even moving anymore? i just don’t feel it.
i never wanted to get to a place where i was not growing as a person and not learning something. but i am here.....
