sometimes strong

You thought you were happy
But we didn’t know what that meant
No one worked harder
To get through the day
or stave off the end
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m calmer than I’ve ever been
Stripped down to nothing
reduced to my roots
books, records, and friends
When somethings wrong
You fix it
You can’t just keep carrying on
Strange that sometimes strong means quitting
The thought that still hurts me
Is somebody else with the dog
they'll never love her the way that I did
The way that I do
I hope that she bites them
But mostly i hope she forgets
The sound of my footsteps
The smell of my skin
The same goes for you
When somethings wrong
You fix it
You can’t just keep carrying on
Strange that sometimes strong means quitting

doesnt matter anymore

Walking out the door
Past Campbell’s corner store
And its morning
The sun is coming out
For hard workers and layabouts
No more heavy weather warnings
I go to jump the turnstyle
Full of all the things I told you
Save two dollars 90 cents
That’s half a cold brew
I still don’t know
I still don’t know
How lost I was
It doesn’t matter anymore
The smell after the rain
Is exactly the same
As it was in high school
I remember asking Jordan
To go out to the movies
She smiled so widely
And im 30 now
I can’t eat so fast without heartburn
But im patient and I care about stuff
Walking by a group of teenagers
Who are laughing loudly
Performatively
Wishing it was me instead
Like I don’t already have it
All I need is in my head
And my light is lit
I still don’t know
I still don’t know
How lost I was
It doesn’t matter anymore
