o my papa...


when i was a young boy
i grew up pretty quick.
i grew up with desires
that i would soon
forget...

remember

imma remember days that passed



times that last

went too fast


imma remember.

imma remember that i'm strong



when you're gone



times so-long


imma remember.

imma remember who is me


solo seas

that i'm free



imma remember

"i think i've found resolve
at least it's buried deep
below the tears that stain
my flowered, bedroom sheets."

"i think i'm better now
least my smile says so
but when you look up close
the lights are turned down low."

"i think i'm better now
behind the bark i peeled
it took 10,000 moments
to scratch away the peel.
-each cut and scrape that bled me- have caused this tree to heal."
