My time passes in a series of emotionsHaunted heart and thoughtless motions.My skin crawls at my head’s resolutions,Wishing I could keep stuffing, but it’s useless. I repeat a similar mantra throughout my dayEntwined in segments of fear and pain.I say, “Stuff it down, try not to feel.”The numbness helps me ...

“Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.From what I’ve tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.”– “Fire and Ice”by Robert Frost Ice consumes ...

Change is happening before my eyes. IWalk through the orchard in the dead of night.Peacefully I see stars and sky to find A place where I can shine like stars so bright.The stars spell out words I’ve been trying to hear,Like life will turn around, and life’s all right. I’ve ...

I sat alone on that plush couch that I always hated—so fancy yet so uncomfortable. So very uncomfortable. You don’t understand me. No, I don’t think you do. I sat alone on this empty couch waiting—just waiting. I wouldn’t be here otherwise. When my name was called, I sprung up ...

You’ve never seen the worst of her,The worst parts, the mess that she is,The broken pieces that don’t fit anywhere else but here, on this page.I guess you don’t deserve that torture, or maybe you do—The kind of torture where someone bears their whole soul to you.That awful torture where ...
