Grown up
Grown tired
Shrinking into someone
That fits into their shattered hearts

Learning
That not everyone learns
What they are taught

Forgetting
The things we used to teach

Falling apart
And into the perfect rhythm

Rising to a million suns
Falling beneath a single moon
Weeping to the sound
Of a laughter
Stolen from the depths of expired joy

Writing
A poem born in the midst of unpoetic days

Healing bruises
That none can see

Mourning
The grave your body has become
And the child buried inside

Loving quietly
Hating violently
Growing up
Feeling down

Shattering
To fit into
The shrunken hearts
That have become our own.
