twenty-one

the
rain
falls
and
things
become
new

we always have a chance
to start over

sometimes words form in my head
and i can't hold on to them
and those moments that feel like poetry
stick in my head
incomplete in the silence that clouds them
i wish i could remember everything i wanted to say

if i could capture those moments
with arms outstretched and heart lurching
when all i am is feeling
you'd see it
you'd see it right there
and everything i am would come shining out
the first rays of sun over the horizon
and i'd finally understand what i am

and maybe i'd see that all i am
is just those silences inbetween thoughts
all i am is a girl soaked in rain
splashing through puddles
kneeling before the world
that i can't hold onto
that i can't let go of
