    I’ll be honest There’s nothing poetic About the way stress manipulates every thought and feeling Causing actions to become “Out of character” For someone who was just trying to find their identity I don’t see the art in the scars they leave on their bodies I see pain and anguish They, are no calls for…

      I watch the sunset rise And sleep in eyes I yawn and start my day I wait around for my favourite sounds And then allow the scent to lead the way There’s nothing like breakfast Like a meal to set you off Nothing like having someone Who prepares it with so much love It’s leg…

    Nobody should determine whether you are strong enough to stand or fall That is your choice If I could teleport right now, I would go to where I need be I would navigate to that area I would pinpoint that street I would stand before those doors and walk in very proud I would forget…

    You have left me before and it hurts every day And this time around I feel the cold   This time around I  feel the cold Numb are the hands I once used to hold you You know what it feels like And so this time around I’ll let the pain sink in I’ll let…

    I have a man. I have a man that looks at me as if he is reading me his favorite book he will never put down each line he explores, over and over and over again he loves each page as his eyes follow its story his fingers trace down the spine he loves my…

    I waited so long for you to come in I began to see the cracks in time I waited so long that now I prefer to see you on the other side – EO   We lost the power to dictate each other’s lives a long time ago To say what we want, what we…

    And the things they say about love echoed with every clap. It’s unpredictable and cold even at its warmest Held hostage in the only place she can’t grow daisies Clap, Clap, Clap It’s unfathomable even when explained, in detail Its criss crosses and squiggly lines Among the straight and narrow paths Are like a paved…

    Don’t let go of me  I kept repeating the words in my mind  Because all I could imagine was being left alone  To experience without training  To have support and then none at all  I didn’t want to imagine noone beside me  I kept my eyes focused on my destination just like you suggested  But…

    I read dark poems about life slipping between fingers  I find myself enjoying how writers explore the sentiments of life and death How they flirt with the idea of ending everything  How they claim to have nothing to lose  But I sense they hold everything they work for within their lines  The validations they have…

    The first time I saw her… Everything in my head went quiet. All the tics, all the constantly refreshing images just disappeared. When you have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, you don’t really get quiet moments. Even in bed, I’m thinking: Did I lock the doors? Yes. Did I wash my hands? Yes. Did I lock the doors?…
