When It Clicked
It clicked— right at that moment, the silence, the distance made sense. His coldness wasn’t hidden, just waiting for me to see,

Echoes of Autumn
Whispers in the breeze, crushed leaves speak beneath my steps— ghosts of fire and gold.

Halfway Across August
The sidewalk splits beneath a tree I don’t remember blooming — but maybe it always has, and I just never looked up. That feels like something I’d do:

Almost
You never knew. Or if you did, you played it off. You kept it hid. I watched you walk those halls each day, then turned my face the other way.

Steps into Silence
Step One: Wait for dusk to paint the sky— not full of noise, but soft and shy. When colors fade and time feels thin, that’s when your vanishing begins.

The Light Is Warm The light comes in without a sound, It touches softly, spreads around. Across the bed, along the floor, It doesn’t knock. It needs no door.

Things I Don't Say Out Loud
Things I Don’t Say Out Loud I tell people I'm tired. That’s true— but not the whole thing. What I don’t say is: I feel like a glitch in the code. Like everyone else got the manual and I just make do with guesses.

My question is: if it were true, wouldn’t everyone be rich?

Is there Really a Labor Shortage?
A very long story short, I am looking for a job. Yes, I have skills, education, and drive, but I am having a hard time finding a place to even look at my resume much less hire me. I thought there were plenty of jobs available? What is going on?
