I hear the ticking of the clock as life passes me by.My screen is practically embedded in my dead dry eyes.I’m scrolling, I’m scrolling, bored out of my mind. Constant sharp pain courses through my body.Sharp aches clawing at me, tearing me up insideI wish I had a job, a salary,But health isn’t something money can buy. So I hum to myself to the beat of my heart I reprimand myself because surely...

I swam in ocean bluesWaves covering my tanned skinCooling the sun's angerAnd my own.I watched my chaos get takenWith the tideAnxiety sinking to the depths My mind breathed out.It's all more peaceful a little way from the shore,The shore.Where people are sick and dyingWhere the earth begs for its groans to be heardWhere whoever shouts the loudest wins.But I swam in ocean blues.I lived happily.

Taking jab after jab after jab after jab at me, relentless they let loose all their inner emotions into me. The truth is I didn’t see the ...

I feeling I tried to translate visually, a struggle within myself regarding my faith and people. This piece is 18” x 24” and is done in acrylic paint, ink, and spray paint!

I come undone Like fabrics that are being sown togetherI unfold into tidyripping apart looks like falling togetherI make clean of all my messes Make them easy and palpable And when I am living in the easyI must exaggerate feelings I live in the nocturnalParallel of what you think should happenI organized your thoughts last nightIn all the time I spent processingI dried your ink and dotted your ...
