iPhone Wallpaper (Stable Narrative)

I sit at my desk

see my phone's wallpaper which writes

peace will win

fear will lose

that's how the saying goes

what if this is false?

Our existence is measured on a social scale

Revolving around the sun is the earth

Where people are ranked

Based on who you interact with and what kind of person you are

We all stand in a line based on popularity

Am I the only one at the end?

Looking at the Courtyard (Unstable Narrative)

The dirt of my fingernails

Glistens in the sunlight

Not a cloud in the sky

Just white feet under white awnings

The dirt blows in the wind

floats in the atmosphere directly

Into my acne free face

A bird landed next to me at that moment

The dirt cascading across its beak

It jumps out into the sky

It makes me wonder,

Why don't I have the confidence to jump?
