I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, too occupied with you
That I leave myself stranded at the bus stop
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, shoved my finger
In your heart’s soup to taste where your love is
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the friends of today
And the ones before them who took all of me
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the wine bringers, and
The empty hands sitting at my dinner table
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the pre-breakfast rants
That’ll end up being one giant laugh tomorrow
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the bullies from the past
And how I nearly became them to the one I love
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, all the kindness I offered
And how it never returned, taken all for granted
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the ex’s remorse
And how his ugly past tainted my yesterday
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, cleaning the elephant
Forgetting the peace of wild things
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the ones who beg for
My money, only to use it to boost their status
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the fights I walked out of
And how I couldn’t sleep thinking about them
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the truth of my lies
Forged to dictate my heart into loving pain
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, my father shrinking
When the cable man threw dirt on his kindness
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the words of the holy books
And how the assembly of today interprets them
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the ones who sit on my
Silences and crowd it with their judgments
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, how I raised myself
Without the hands of my parents to fall on
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the ones I feed, who
Extend their gratitude by letting me starve
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the old jokes that leave
Stains on the new fabrics I have woven today
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the ones whose sofas I slept on
While I figure out where my life is headed
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the death I escaped
And how gutted it left me feeling, till date
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the boy I used to be, and
How I killed him because I couldn’t love him
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the home I’ll return to
In a country and a language, I’m yet to meet
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the fish in my tank
And all the beauty it repaired my heart with
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the boy on the train
And how he rose to let the old man seat
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the music of Cleo Sol
And how it hugs my heart as if it were my shrine
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the visitors who came
And leave wet towels lying on my neat bed
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the fright in my heart
And how I couldn’t find the words to tell it
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the clothes in my closet
And how they hold the memories of you and I
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the poets who chose silence
While the women and children die in the Congo and Gaza
May their breakfast taste like ash in their mouths
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the fear in my throat
And how I spit it in the faces of others as they eat
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the stranger at the park
And how his smiles renovated my loneliness
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the boy I could’ve been
If I wasn’t a consequence of all that went wrong
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, who God is
And how people bleed their hurt on others
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the reason I’m still alive
And all that I will become before the cross-line
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, everything I shouldn’t
Calling it a truce, a warm bed to sleep on
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, the crowd I’m surrounded by
And how lonely they make me feel
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, my father and his love
And how he crossed the bar so soon
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, all the things
That my therapist says I should let go of
I am feeling everything and everyone
All at the same time, and as the last leave falls
So shall my life. At least I can say, that I’ve lived
But is that enough, for me?
