My forever-aching problems with Erie

on the car ride there you don’t know what to feel

the 45 minutes feel like 15 when you’re staring into the sunset

I can’t tell if I’m being being sent to heaven or hell

Erie has been both for me

It’s broken me down mentally various times

Yet its teased me and gifted me small glimpses of pleasures

I’ve really tried to be part of something there

Whether it with anyone

I’ve come to the fact that I’ll never truly be integrated

Due to my hybrid personality, influenced from both of the towns

I’ve tried really hard to have someone close to

It’s not been done. I’ve been lied to.

I’m alone.
