the exhaustion of

an easy life

Perfection

leaves no room

for growth

and just like that 

we’re right back at the beginning,

it looks like how i imagined

the end might appear.

it has been forced to my attention

that i pick apart pieces of memories

and splice them back together

Making a movie for myself

where i am a character i can love,

someone i can find agreeable.

the truth of it really is

that words sometimes spill out of my mouth

without any thought or filter.

and i am continually surprised

that anything i say ever means anything to anyone.

maybe if i could learn to take myself seriously

i would be much more cautious when i spoke.

grow fonder
