My face hurts
from smiling
and talking
and texting first.
Sometimes I'd like
to be alone.
Alone to collect my
thoughts.
I wish I really
knew people.
The people who
would pledge their
allegiance.
The ones who would
fend off enemy fire.
I'd like to blaze
bright inferno.
You may have lit
the fire, but I'm
the one who thought
the flames were warm
and pretty.
I'm the one who brought this
on myself.
I'm going to
stop looking for you.
I still want to be fictional.
Don't follow me.
I over-romanticize
and daydream about
happily ever afer.
My ten-year-old
self needs that
inside of her
to keep her going.
I need to get her hope.
I need to make her proud.
I need to do something
so that she won't think
she needs to be rescued by
the first guy who offers.
If I had a choice,
I would go to Central City
or
become a Time Lord.
Have powers beyond my
understanding.
I would time travel
and adventure and learn.
I don't want to die.
But I don't want to be here.
Not anymore.

PoetryA book of poems. I write angry and happy and thoughtless. Not really sad though. It's also the title of my favorite album of AJR.
