If it’s a restless night, It’s a restless day. No matter what you do, you won’t seem to shake the cobwebs from your brain. You’ve been kept awake by nonsense and disarray. And told in the morning “you’re not remembering it right, why do you act this way?!” Days go by, the same ol’ thing.Continue reading “Restless”

If roses could speak
If roses could speak They might apologize for hurting you inadvertently If roses could speak They’d say their thorns are for protection, you see? If roses could speak They’d say defending themselves is necessary For if roses could speak You’d know the predators who would say they were pretty and prey on the “weak” ButContinue reading “If roses could speak”
May we
May we meet at the shores of peace The sands of tranquility May we clearly see A world removed of its grease May we find comfort in open arms To feel love without trauma’s guards May we hear unfiltered And speak without fear May we find laughter in arguments And may we never learn resentmentContinue reading “May we”
A life romanticized
In a world filled with hatred, selfishness, and cruelty, I still feel love. I still hope for a better tomorrow. I still feel the longing of the “perfect” life. In a world where I am a stepping stone that keeps shoes from the mud, I still believe that true love exists. I still feel theContinue reading “A life romanticized”
Falling apart
I lie awake Wondering how long it might take For someone to notice, for someone to see Who am I? Why can’t I just be Me. My life revolved around you, and your never-met needs I sit and stare, my mind blank Can’t you understand my sanity is at stake? I’m drowning in stress CanContinue reading “Falling apart”
You’re joking, right?
Is this a dream? Am I lost in the subconscious of my mind Will I ever wake from these nightmarish binds Or is life really as it seems? Forgive and forget? You’re kidding me. I don’t believe in that bullshit Forgiveness should be earned But forgetting? That’s just absurd. You should never forget what’s beenContinue reading “You’re joking, right?”

Whether you are a writer or not, I feel like this is something that could be fun for you (and for me, if you decide to share!) And while I’ve been pondering this idea all day, it is onlyContinue reading “Let me give you some inspiration”
The Ash Tree
Freshly fallen rain clings to the Ash tree. The cool, crisp nights air rustling its yellowing leaves, the droplets dancing under the moons full face. It’s beautiful. The moonlight, the wind, the rustle of leaves, the water beads… Shimmering liquid glass amongst the trees. Scattered throughout this branch of the world tree, like stars inContinue reading “The Ash Tree”
A puddle of fears, a mountain of tears
Sitting in silence the body and mind at war. Fight and flight responses firing at once. Fighting is impossible, With flight, there is no escape. Filled with torment and hate. Internally screaming with anger and rage Panic ensues when boundaries are broken How foolish I’ve been And how foolish I am. False hopes and dreamsContinue reading “A puddle of fears, a mountain of tears”
In a daze
It’s only a phase Like the moon it waxes and wanes Can’t you help me escape? This body and it’s infinite pains? Shoot me a gaze From amidst this haze Locked in this glaze Like pottery , I’ll break. There’s been a mistake Of the choices I make I give and you take I trembleContinue reading “In a daze”
