Something Behind Every Thing Pt. 2
I have a thought that leads to a feeling,
an emotion locked inside an empty soul.
I lie when I answer with I don't care,
and hold back a wall of tears
beneath my blank stare.
My torn heart has shattered
because of the silence that consumes me,
leaving me to feel lonely.
Behind closed eyes,
I am unreadable,
with no way of letting others know,
the reason why I say I'm fine,
The reason why I put up a wall of happiness,
when I feel so much pain.

Angstxiety
I am work weak on Wednesday
in a heap of hangover and hesitation
with fingers on a phone haptically
actively anticipating feedback—
I need that why do I need that.
My angst and anxiety
is constant and courses
and throbs with a pulse
that demands concern
of a baby boomer crooning poetic
in the distance to call me antisocial, or you know,
you could just call me.
If being this busy in an age
of constant communication
feels like having slept
but not feeling rested,
I'd rather cancel my plans
like a responsible millennial
and go to bed.

Short Short Story about Being Comfortable
Along the lake in the pockets and valleys of sand where there are tough dry reeds growing among small yellow flowers. With the iridescent green weevils that crawl over red sandstone and pause, alert and longing. Under the rust of the half buried fence set in crumbling concrete, where a gull is waiting for the wind to change. And always, always in the waves, when they're bitter cold in the brief spring and when they roll under ice under our feet together here. I want to be here with you when the beach finally grows old and washes away.

I linked here from the forums...first time seeing your gallery. This was really fun to read. I read it all the way through despite my short attention span. I'd have tried for Yard House if they were hiring bartenders, because I love beer. It seems like the Jake has pent up anger. Maybe the mom was widowed and remarried, and he's still dealing with that. He's troubled. I taught music in middle school for a few years, and encountered many children that acted out in this way. A couple of my former students were arrested the other day, to my shock.
I also once had a friend who acted similarly. He was newly wed. He and his wife needed assistance transitioning into being self-sustaining adults, so I opened my home to them. I had no idea how troubled this person was, until I saw him slowly destroy his marriage.
I'm supposed to be doing homework now. It was nice finding this.
