Paint me on fire
Paint me my most vibrant
In orange, yellow, red
Before I give in to the sigh of the wind
...
it's a floaty feeling a ceiling sort of feeling
a concealing kind of mindset
a certain way to let yourself peel away
because isn't it just easier to observe from far away?
...
Maybe stars don't twinkle
Maybe I flicker
Maybe I'm why the stars blink
Like a licking flame on a lit wick
...
I think maybe it's time to look up
Not down
Maybe it's time see it through
Maybe it's time to love ourselves
...

My soul
Desolated by the careless fools that rein
This wicked destructive world

Leverage
It's not a staircase I have to climb
It's an elevator he pulls up by hand at the steady pace I demand
It's necessary to be to be high to be mighty

Who am today
Is not who I may be tomorrow
Still I lie wide awake
Trying not to fall asleep
Laughing suddenly
I cannot control the speed
of the earth's turn
I cannot stop the world from burning
I am not needed
I roll over
A sense of freedom fills me, blissfully
I'm only nineteen
And as of now
That's all I aspire to be
