poetry

mostly, i loved the editing.

looking at someone’s work

their body their life their soul- in my hands.

& they left wanted me to look after it

like a mother leaving their child for daycare

to be picked up

their sophomore year, changed, scared-

will they love the choices they made?

the hearts they broke, they may never know

but i do-

i was there for everything,

but don’t worry ms. worthy.

i think they’re ready for the world

will of a builder

i love stories of builders

starting with a dream

everyone telling them

they’ll be nothing, your dream

is one in a million

not a chance

try something the world will appreciate ,

the next part is all the same

‘fuck ’em’

theye built castles

skyscrappers

tested the logic of humans

carved the sacred sky

burned their names;

they knew it would take time

sleepless nights

the will of a builder

to keep moving forward

after the world

had already given up

on you
