am i doing enough? am i doing it right?
halfway through
the stack of homework i can’t finish tonight
are you still proud of me?
though i’ve fallen from grace
am i still beautiful with all this shit on my face?
do you want more from me
than what i already am?
will you still sit with me if I tell you I can’t?
i waste my time writing this
and feeling like a lost cause
feel like i’m the one booing over all the applause
smart girl
kind girl
“fine” not really fine girl
straight girl
strong girl
do you even try at all girl?
if i live up to what you ask of me
is it something you’d even see
if i could ever do enough
would you give me more, call it “tough love”?
every week feels like a year
and every slumber twenty seconds
blame it on my low attention span
and all my screwy methods
i can never stop trying all the way again
cause i’d lose all my passion and all of my friends
can’t afford to start over
only keep moving on
i seem to run so much
i don’t know what i’m running from
and will the hardships take that from me too?
i’m not living loud enough
so everyone tells me I'm through
something in me says, keep walking
smile as if you're still alive
some fighter spirit keeps me going
maybe soon I'll learn to thrive
and so close to something but so far away
my heart has begged so many people to stay
if i could write a poem called
sorta somewhat like okay
if i could get a streak going
happy day after happy day
but i’m three years into high school
and every day is just the same
i say i’m gonna work hard
and then i play video games
cause i’ll never be the girl everyone wants
so why even try to be something i’m not
i’m sleep deprived with no tears left to cry
and i’m fine for now
but i knew something so profound
and then i promptly forgot

“dnd exp leveling is dumb,” i say into the mic.
the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
"they’re right," it says. i look for the owner of the voice. there in the second row stands: brennan lee mulligan.
