tripping tongues telling tall tales treasures told tremendous traded tinkling trinkets turned to trauma-filled tragedies

I always end up crying When I feel like I'm not trying To be as productive as I can be To be a worthy member of society It's best if I end up dying

We live in a society That values hard word and productivity But it's important to rest So that you can be your best When you reach the dreams you want to see
It has taken all of my courage to stand up here And admit something that I wish wasn't actually true. I think I have feelings for someone.

Blink salty water away from your eyelashes. Look forward - don't drown.
Invisible winds wrap you in their warm embrace Close your eyes and fly
Lights flicker to life Flames dance together over pools of melted wax
Under fingernails Dirt leaves its mark as you lay Six feet under ground
A deadly challenge Scale the sides to reach the top Never to return

The Monarchs return Memories overtake them Avoid at all costs
The ground held steady The Earth kept whole by mountains acting as Her nails
Continuously You shift and erode and rise You change, just like me
