"Loneliness and its Appearance"
An airplane meal eaten on a long flight
The car ride home after visiting mom
The room’s still silence after our worst fight
The shift of seasons, the air grows colder
Staying inside while daylight is awake
Blowing candles, you turn a year older

"Social Media"
In our day and age,
Almost everyone has a page.
Not in a book or in a journal,
But somewhere much more vulnerable.
Whether it be Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter or more,
Almost everyone has a social media,
That they like to explore.

"Brother"
How often have we fought to kill each other?
The only memories I have of you
Are duels—my discipline against your disorder.
Your sense of justice was unnerving, too.
Because of that, you were always in the way.
Scum on the path I tread, you made me slip.
Countless times, you’ve stolen what I crave
To save me from myself, yourself at risk.
