Radio Silence from Paprika by Ohio Martinez

Inevitability
hinders my ability
to see ahead of me

What do you even want from me
why do you even talk to me
like honestly I don’t
have the slightest idea

Is it okay?
All this radio silence?
Once in a while I wanna go to where
I don’t have to say a word
Am I okay?
I’d be okay with isolation
I don’t wanna say
anything to any of you

Accountability
and responsibility
to give more than I take

What do you even want from me
Why do you have to corner me
With every mistake I make

I lose my patience
to read all the rules

Is it okay?
All of this radio silence?
Once in a while I wanna go to where
I don’t have to say a word
Am I okay?
if I am okay with isolation
I don’t wanna say
anything to any of you
