Alone, but resolute, I stand tall, No longer enduring emotional squall. Gone are the pretense, finished are the games, No longer seeking logic amidst torturous flames. No more disdain for my weakest of nightsNo more targeted blame, no more endless fights. Unapologetically me, I claim liberty, No longer shackled by another's authority. Scars and charms, … Continue reading Finally Free

Should I Fall in Love Again
Should I fall in love again, I beg it be with my best friend. Should it be with my best friend, I beg he love me to the end. Should he love me to the end, I beg our love is filled with peace. And should our love be filled with peace, I beg my … Continue reading Should I Fall in Love Again
Soulless
I exist, soulless and still at heart. My actions, though shallow, play their part In a world that's peacefully, calmingly dark;I breathe through a life devoid of our spark. Each moment of thought clear of your shapeIs A moment of ignorance, a chance to escape,A moment of triumph in my withdrawal from fate...A moment to … Continue reading Soulless
4/20/2023
I’m alone. Slow and steady, from my stomach, through my heart, through my throat and out of my eyes. Waves begging for something I don’t know how to give. Why are you back? Why are you bothering me again? I’ve eaten, I’ve slept, I’ve walked, I’ve talked, I’ve worked, I’ve cleaned, I’ve thought so deeply … Continue reading 4/20/2023
When is Freedom, Freedom?
We live in a country where presidents are jokes;our leaders are voted leaders with suspiciously little votes.People are executed unarmed in the streets,and rapists are proven guilty, but immediately freed.Children are murdered on the government’s dimewhile criminals are rewarded and the innocent are fined.Where Tanks and swat are used to quiet down a protest,Instead of … Continue reading When is Freedom, Freedom?
Nothing particularly Important
Eyes sunken in, she rests her chin on her wrist, wondering what the purpose of life is. Is it finding joy in random toys, in video games and interested boys, praying a smile fills that void? Or is it reminiscing in random texts, time machines of things you've left, people, places, words, and thoughts- Memories … Continue reading Nothing particularly Important
Tell Me You Love Me
Tell me you love me, that we’ll always be friends. Know I'd bring you the stars, if we could hold hands. Tell me you love me, that I can dance in your skies. I’ll be the sun to your moon, If you stay in my life... Tell me you love me, and we’ll never lose. … Continue reading Tell Me You Love Me
Run Away With Me
Won’t you run away with me? We can disappear into the trees, following our hearts, falling on our knees, with laughter, and joy, and love, and need. Everything inside is begging you, please? I know what I want, and I know what I see, And I know that you know that we’re meant to be. so … Continue reading Run Away With Me
Dying of Thirst
As the sun sets, my body sweats; This burned, aching, greedy mess begs in anticipation for when the tide rolls in to fill my soul with nourishment.Lessons and warnings erode from the shore"Drink from the ocean, and thirst even more," Do they know how good the ocean tastes,When you’re aching to drink after for too … Continue reading Dying of Thirst
The One with the Aliens
Trapped here, Between my heart and my gut, Caged by my ribs and a mind too open, I’m Fighting for a freedom I don’t really need. Your eyes plead, “Don’t leave…” But your arms are wrapped around another. “Soul mate,” or side dish? I’ve never known the difference. Not here, anyways. “You complete me.” Is … Continue reading The One with the Aliens
