August 2nd, 2025
There are ten days left until the first day of my freshman year,
And I am fearful.
Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,
For I have been taught to survive
but never to truly live.

Revival
One day,
You will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, lost in a void of darkness.

things I learned the hard way
You are not perfect, and that is okay.
Your best isn’t working yourself to a point where you have to sacrifice your mental health to succeed.
Someone cares about you.

being a teenager is like living in hell
Can you remember
Who you were
Before the world told you
Who you should be?

her blood is on your hands
This is for everyone
Who has criticized
The body of a child:
You have taken everything from me.
Today
An eleven-year-old girl
Is sitting in a hospital bed

"Why didn't you ask for help?"
“Why didn’t you ask for help?”
When I didn’t write for weeks
I was asking for help
When I stopped smiling
When I stopped laughing
When happiness became fake

mother!
mother! i cry, captive of the wind
carrying my voice for those to hear who
accept failure is not an option & instead pursue
the package of progress, the patch of promise
a battle cry to be heard,
-
The longer I wait.
No more promises to go to bed earlier
No more making up meaning for the mess on the floor,
No more pages all across my desk.
No more of the big clothes to hide what I don't have.

The Things We Almost Say
There is a language
spoken only in half-glances,
in the weight of a pause
just before someone smiles. -

River
Through the knotweed. Down the ladder made of tree roots. Up onto the big rock. By the river. I stand, mud on my ankle and cuts on my knees. The sun sits just barely above the trees as the sweat sits just above my brow.
