I wished for percussion

 

Am I too loyal? 

Why am I trying so hard 

Is reciprocation possible 


Why do so many people seem to not give a shit 

Are we so broken? 

Is it really that hard to care? 


I feel like I'm nothing but caring 

It tenses my shoulders, stiffens my inner thighs 


Yes he's kind now but what about all the years before this 

What about six months from now 

Haven't you waited long enough 


So much of his growth at my expense 

And what about June  

Do I ever get a turn to be bad? 



I miss my Dad so much 

I just want to talk to him 



It was your turn, maybe 

I won't read too much in to it 

I'm trying not to get attached to people or to outcomes 


You're on your own, kid 


I'm covered in poison ivy 

The cat didn't mean it but he scratched my arm and I bled
