Aaliyah Padilla '25
it’s become more of a silent whisper
on sidewalks
taxis
familiar places
unfamiliar places
saying to just go.
going, gone.
maybe?
do you remember the last time you took something for what it is?
and not for what you want it to be.
no change
no adjustments
just is.
is.

gone.
in the same way
because of the same thing, their minds
took over. it always takes over.
what’s stronger? what can you control?
your fate or your will to live or is one defined by the other.
what if there’s no control?
nothing for hands to grab
change
change the fate
the will to live.
the noises.
silent whisper.
control.
control.
cont-inue
on.
