Death's Door
When someone is sick, we say they're on Death's doorstep.
But aren't we always?
People always act like we're so far away from death.
But really we're not.

Justice Must Be Served
Justice must be served.
The man who shot her must pay the price.
Doesn’t matter if he was scared or not, she didn’t deserve this.
Nobody does.
That man needs to be brought to justice.

Me
Who am I?
I don’t even know anymore.
I’ve shed the person I once was in favor of a new one.
Yet, I’m still that person.
I’m both at once and neither.
So who am I?

International Law
We broke it.
We broke international law.
Gone are the rules for countries to follow in accordance to each other.
For if we didn’t, why shouldn’t they?
Breaking it is wrong.
Our country is a criminal now.

My Friend, the Moth
Gentle as water sliding down your face,
A voice like a bell.
A smile as beautiful as a rose,
And as strong as an eagle.
Hands and arms with ink scribbled over them like tattoos.
Hair like a sunset.

Eyes Opened and Closed
Every time I open my eyes I see a different world staring back at me.
Sometimes it’s beautiful.
Sometimes I hate it.
Lately, I've seen more hate than love.

Thank you, Rosa Parks
Thank you Rosa Parks, for the good you did.
Thank you for standing up and fighting back.
Thank you for bringing a country to be proud of.
Though, I fear you wouldn't be happy with the turn we've taken.

Broken Promise
America was once known
For its promise
The American promise
That stated everyone was equal
No matter their race
Or gender
Now it’s known

Love Spell
Do a spell on me.
Cast it quick to fix me.
I can't see your love
Where is your love?
Why do I not love
you?
Do a spell on me
To love you like you do me
Fill me with dreams of you

The Spreading Shadow
Something's spreading
Our children's thoughts
Those in power abusing
Stories leave me distraught

Whispers of a home
I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,
the slide of my finger against the screen,
the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,
artificial noise.

A child in Spring
Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,
playing in the soft mud of the Earth,
full of joy.
Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,
blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.
