BECKETT
it’s hard man
so ****ing hard
after jackie and i split up—
jackie, that’s my ex—
i spent a couple months just drifting
Awkward couches of friends
Various sad airbnbs
Lonely cheap hotels
but when i finally got my own place
i thought:
okay, new space!
new life, new face!
no more time for doom and despair!
i will renew myself now
there is still life within me
there is love within me
if i work on myself now
there will be new love
it’s waiting for me somеwhere
i will becomе a better person
i will learn from my mistakes
i will reach out to all my friends
i will take care of myself
i will become a better person
i will learn from my mistakes
i will reach out to all my friends
i will take care of myself
and i will
BECKETT, SUSAN & SADIE
make my bed
BECKETT
and i will meet new people
i will be out in the world!
i will vibe
i will thrive
i will finally be alive
BECKETT, SUSAN & SADIE
i will become actualized!
i will finally be my true self!
BECKETT
i will learn
to love new people
and i will learn
how to be loved
but then…
but then the lockdown hit
and i was alone
in a new home
