Freeze
You have seen me
during moments
when I believed
we would always fly
high—into the sky!
Innocent and free
Somewhere, along
I discovered a darker
side of me there was to see
I began to see so many cages
and all I could do
was freeze

To not. look. sad.
You are always down
after she leaves
No need to be!
Soon enough, I am sure
you could choose to miss her
once again
She will return—
and then fly away—
again. again. & again.
So, at least, do try your
damnedest, you!
to not. look. sad.

25
Felt so great
To be alive
Dancing on tables
Reckless, but totally fine
Dreams that were planted
Grew strong in bright light
Confidently standing—
I was 25
Survival was pretty
Flowed just like water
Every little thing
Was going to be alright
If I could go back
And speak to me at 25
34 me would say:
Breathe it all in, man
Today is the day
Shake it and take it
As much as you can
You can do anything
You’re only 25!
Just like I wanted
To say to 19 me—
When I was 25
