Self-titled

Jacob Alvarez

June 22 
Haiku
My heart is yearning,
Aching, beating, but barely,
Unrequited love

Feels like I’m not here,
Each day a facsimile,
Passively present

Hoping for a change,
I am the grand optimist,
Cursed with inaction

Search for an excuse,
The root of my cowardice,
Lies within a truth

I fear the unknown,
What was and will ever be,
But a memory
