Break
A Short Poem/Song Written by Cheyenne Patterson
I’m drowning in my own thoughts and I can barely breathe. I can’t help that I’m so insecure, it gets the best of me. So darling please just hold me close, all my emotions overflow. And darling please don’t let me go, let my emotions take control. I get defenseless against it, hoping that you’ll hold me down. I’ve gone crazy thinking that I’ll win this time. I believe I’ll be forever mentally scarred. So please don’t let me break because I am trapped inside my mind. Just tell me I am okay because I believe I won’t be fine. I’ve gone crazy. Help baby. Please don’t let me break.

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
