Laundry List

I amass things
To represent me
I create junk to make me feel
Less worthless & lonely
But actually in the end
Using an ampersand
I collect & I hoard my life away
I want to take care of myself but I have to much to do
Im sorry Maybe next week I can make plans with you
Let’s push lunch to next Wednesday my dude I promise I’ll follow thru
The laundry list I’ve committed too
My wardrobes like a thrift shop and like the tv static channels
So much on the air but nothing to wear
The televisions on at breakfast and it’s my favorite place
So much on the air, I don’t really care
I want to take care of myself but I have to much to do
Im sorry Maybe next week I can make plans with you
Let’s push lunch to next Wednesday my dude I promise I’ll follow thru
The laundry list I’ve committed too
I escape into my pancake and morning tea
All the waitstaff knows me
I am whole, the most so, that I can be
Chris and I play chess at shows
And Im getting better I know
But my memories getting worse
And im not ready to let go not ready to let go
I want to take care of myself but I have to much to do
Im sorry Maybe next week I can make plans with you
Let’s push lunch to next Wednesday my dude I promise I’ll follow thru
The laundry list I’ve committed too
Ohh
The laundry list I’ve committed too

Silence

There’s nothing I can do
But try my best to honest and true
What do think? What can I do?
To help me help you feel like
Everything is gonna be okay
I’m here through the circumstances
And mental decay
Lay down in my lap and tell me how your feeling
I will wait till your finished, and we can enjoy the silence
Even if There is nothing that I can say
To make the anxiety or grief just instantly melt away
I want to bring you flowers on your wedding day
I want see you smile when you finally feel okay
This all just selfish I’m your friend and I love you
I might be projecting but awareness is not my virtue
Write to

I don’t wanna move to the city
There’s a lot of flavors , it’s not my favorite kind
I know that it’s kinda shitty
But I didn’t really have you in mind
I wanna move to the country
But I can’t bring myself to detach
Instead I’ll just visit often
And pretend like there’s no reall catch to living like that
I can’t handle bright lights or loud noises
But I don’t wanna be alone
I know that it’s only a matter of time
But I just wanna feel like I’m home
I’m a master of crashing the party
A professional at “ I gotta go”
I don’t smoke I don’t drink I won’t judge I just think
That I’m dyin just writing this poem

as guilty as the butcher this shits being done in your name
Silver specs in the sky
Fly away from six graves of people who diedf
As the fire dies away and the day fades tonight
I think that it’s time we ask why
I know I’m not that old and I’m not that wise but I think that it’s time we ask why
