  • False Hope

    I sit in my closet, my phone in my hands, dialing 911. Downstairs, I hear glasses breaking, tables and chairs being thrown and smashed against the wall, the man who broke into our home screaming. 

  • Trapped

    That's not me. 

    It looks like me, talks like me, thinks like me, but that's not me. 

    It may say things only I could know, but trust me, it's not real. 

  • Life Is...

    Life. So many ways to describe it. Life is messy. Life is complicated. Life can kick you when you’re already down and spit in your face, telling you to stay down, don’t get up, that you’re worthless, pathetic, a disgrace.

Loves

  • unraveling

    Isn’t it beautiful?
    Soil in your cuticles,
    the sun ever so bright—
    not one day does it forget to shine.

    The visible dew,
    the sky, oh so blue,
    we call it spring.

  • questions for the tiny bird

    Tiny ceramic bird, frozen in midair. Are you doomed to spend eternity seeking a flower you will never see? Spiderwebs cover your body as you dangle from a wire, staring at a pole of wood, cracks forming with time.

  • Sometimes

    Sometimes I wonder about the person I seem to be.

    Is she truly me or someone else entirely?

    Is it real or just a mask?

    And if she's just a mask, then who am I?

    Am I surrounded by lights?

    Or shadows?
