excerpt.2
sometimes i read through old journals and find things i don’t remember writing
It’s raining
something flooded somewhere
I am a person, I am a live self
a monster, a pen and paper
I know you
I know how
to tell you things
take them back
wake up, get dressed
apathetic but breathing
excerpt.1
sometimes i read through old journals and find things i don’t remember writing.
i am an onion
an orange, banana
an artichoke
do you get it?
hiding behind metaphors
solemn but yearning
a seedling in the sun
Half-Marathon Playlist
This weekend I ran the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon for the first time and…I am so glad that’s over. Haha, I’m really glad I did it and will probably do it again, but for now my quads are kind of mad at me. I definitely needed my music to keep me going around mile 11 - I’m glad I made this playlist ahead of time so I could play air drums to keep my mind off of how much my knee was hurting me.

Ahhhhhh! Another person asking you to vote for another thing! This time, it’s me asking you to help me be Deli’s NYC artist of the month.
