Sex Ed Failures

Watching the clock I'm wary of time,
listening to words that mean nothing to me

If I could do better and take useful notes,
then maybe the lesson I could finally agree

It's no good to be different in Sex Ed,
what if I don't plan to date a man?

They don't talk of subjects I care of at all,
and frankly, I'm not really a fan

My BSF, only 16, calls in a panic,
within herself lies an unwanted child

Told to save herself she didn't know,
her late childhood is now defiled

These problems seem unique,
but don't be obstinance

As our schools only teach us abstinence

Limerence

A stream of music flows through my mind
Petals picked, torn, ripped, from a disc
I can’t remember the last time it’s been tuned 
Do I remember how to hum with intent so quick?
Or can I continue with this stream of fabrication,
Sewing its way into stuck keys
All the notes felt of a familiar off white marrow
Though the harmony cannot squeeze,
Through something so narrow
I’m sorry for the confusion,
of a backwards quaver
With gentle consideration 
I’ll allow our love to waiver
