I gave her chancesPlenty of chancesChances to act and walk and talk and breatheAnd treat and wound the way sheShould.We had our chance, and we blew it through a paper straw,Watched it blow away like litter in the wind.Shoulders hunched, spine aching,Back breaking with the weight of the world.I am in her arms, her head lies dormant on my chestSimply a breath away from the press of my lipsTo skin...

Mother tells you to slowly sip the ginger tea.She promises it will remedy your ceaseless weariness and return your joy. The ginger shavings scald your throat and incinerate your voice.You want to tell her it won’t cure your sickness, that the disease rots your mind,not your body.But you silently let your lips turn to ash from the steaming cup. She can’t know it’s pointlessto tend to someone tha...

They couldn’t trust her to walk the lineAlthough if they had it would be just fineI’m only just a bit shaky in the kneesI know if I tried I could stand on my feetThey kept turning her world upside down Each time she would fall and land on her crown So when it came time to prove herselfIt was earthquake rattle and falling off the shelfI don’t know what more I could possibly doOpportunity seems f...

In this life I am alone.Some days a blue glow, others yellow.Everybody is a glass jar.Like candles in the dark, we burn separately.Confined to the spaces which our fates bestow upon us,only break with understanding that each color is its own. Understand, we are nothing. But nothing lasts forever, so they say, and so I break to float in the vastness. I wish to be nothing eternally. To see the li...

I wish to be a confident climber of trees.As a child I had friends who would swing on branches high above the ground.They would scale the tallest trees with absolute ease, Completely boundless up in the little world of bark and leaves. Wild and free. So much bigger than the earth below.So much bigger than me. 

At five years old, you should be running, hopping, skipping and jumping.You should be able to hop and stand on one foot.You should know how to read aloud & write some letters and numbers. And you can even produce rhymes.My mom always said that I was advanced.I took my first steps at nine months oldAnd in the third grade, Mrs. Alderson said that I could read at a college level.But maybe the ...

i am drowning on therooftop; head in theclouds, suffocating onthin air and condensation;the wind tugs at me inall directions like it'strying to tell me: pullyourself apart, it'll make youfree - my thoughts arelost in these currents asthey carry me off my feet;the sky is an ocean,that must be why i cannotbreathe.the world exists outsidemy window, kept at baywith thin glass, and ipress my hand ag...

Don't cryThings are not falling downBut you must keep a distance Bring your anti social self outCut down your social linksDrop down to your digital self You are a product nowSell yourself......But don't forget to isolate your physical self Distance....Don't touchContagiousDeadlyOh, feel the mist in the airIt's raining No, the clouds are blockedSee the light Behind the curtain No,Stay in that d...

Its devastating....Bit by bit you are losing it....You're losing what you have dreamt of so longNo.You want to stop it.You can't. The waiting is even more painful. You are waiting to end it What you don't want to end....The loss will leave you hollowHollow within.The life seems colourless, clueless....You act to be normal But inside you are brokenThere is no relief from this pain...No sedativeN...

When the world is holding its breath And the moonlit rivers freeze and reflect, Who do yousee standing next to you? Are you lonesome, my dear, in an ocean of lovers?Or are you basking in your happiness without me?I’m a siren calling you on the breeze.A seductress wading in the seawhispering nonsense to draw you back in my ocean.You try to evolve beyond my backward motions.Are you happy, my dea...

First came the laughter,the giggles.The kids in hystericsClutching their stomachs in an endless laugh,a hopeless attempt to cease it.As the man stared,inside to out.Fuck!Obscenities and a dejected sigh...The wooden fence...dismantled.Clearly,from foot colliding with plank.A loud crunch and crack... His wooden fence.Repairs and fees.Texts and calls.Parents and police.Looking up at the street lig...
