After Alessia Cara
A Poetry Intervention inspired by quotes from Alessia Cara's album "In The Meantime"
"Need some clarity! I miss therapy!
“What if I’m a bad role model? What if I’m scared?”
“You look happier. I checked, of course.”
"Those words, do you mean em?"
"Who was I to think that I could be the one?"
“I wanna live and do anything, without needing
to phone a friend.”
"Would I be better off alone or with someone driving me crazy?"
“Made me so damn sad and so I had to lie.”
“There’s no grey this time. It’s black and white. I’m by myself. You’re somebody else.”
"It's not romantic. It's just traumatic."
“Hoping, waiting on a moment. Not knowing if it’s coming or it’s going.”
“I don’t understand! I can’t seem to find my boy.”
"Am I the fire, or the lighter?"
“Need a step back from my feelings.”
"Tired of walking under your rain cloud.
"Swear it's the ones who said that they'll never change"
"It's a lost cause. It's a bad bet. It's a storm but gotta face it."
“Tears that I shed, turned into glitter on the floor of my apartment. Pop of shimmer I needed!”
