I will dance
When love turns hateful Peace turns chaotic Comfort turns sour I won’t cower from the storm I will strip the shame and false guilt from my shoulders And I will dance in the pouring rain. I will smile amidst thunder I will laugh in the face of lighting For I am not weak, and IContinue reading “I will dance”
I am not sh*t
If for some reason you have something against the word in the title, this poem probably isn’t for you! I am not the ground beneath the shit I am not the shit itself I am not the shovel for shit I am not the wheelbarrow that holds it I am not the person who throwsContinue reading “I am not sh*t”

Beyond the Walls: Chapter 3
This is a longer chapter, and if anyone finds a spelling mistake please let me know! The air is full of mist, it smells musty and dry, like dust in my nose. The mist feels thick, I can feel it between every finger. I think I’ve been here before… the forest. The trees are darkContinue reading “Beyond the Walls: Chapter 3”
Birds Eye view
I wanna fly I want to feel the rush See the world through the birds eye. I want to soar I want these wings to carry to anywhere and more Is the ask too much? To fly above the earth to watch the oceans fall and rise To watch the stars and skys And seeContinue reading “Birds Eye view”
