Poems from Cassidy Paredes

WORDS THEY SAY

by

Sometimes words are broken shards

Of a mirror they want you to see.

Of a person they want you to be.

You aren’t what they say,

Darling, you could never be.

Drown out their words

Before they drown out you.

Ded. Their words

HER STRENGTH

ELEMENTAL SORROW

IT’S OKAY

HILLS AND VALLEYS

YOUR LOVE
