We Were Meant To Be Broken
Blood is never beautiful
Yet we were made to bleed
Hearts were meant for breaking
Eyes were made for crying
Hands were made for hurting
We were meant to break

2020 Fall
As the evenings got darker
And the days got colder
We became closer
As the leaves were whisked away
We began online school days
And became inseparable

Fall Forgetfulness
It’s been so long
Since I’ve seen your face
That I’m starting to forget
The color of your eyes
And the way you smile
But I’ll always remember
The way you cared
The leaves fall

Fall and Winter
I spent fall with you
And fell into your frigid winter embrace
We went trick-or-treating in the dark
And we took walks in the park
But in the end
You were colder than winter

Gone But Not Forgotten
I open the gates
And take a trip down memory lane
Everything’s changed since then
My childhood is gone but not forgotten
I remember riding my bike on the driveway

Purple paper
Purple paper ripped out of my notebook
you're beautiful in all the ways
it says in my purple fountain pen
I taught my sister how to hold the pen
and she wrote me the note

Perfect
You’re perfect just the way you are,
but here’s a serum for that scar.
Love yourself, embrace your face,
but first, some contouryou know, just in case.

uncertainty —> hope
I wasn’t sure
how many people would be there
it wasn't the biggest protest in the state,
the one that we went to, that is.
we think
about
(at least)
500
people came.

this is not about water
it was like a sink that was overflowing, built up and up and up.
then it was drained; the pipes rusted over; the slight drip and drip and drip.
tantalizing.
then the water rushed like geysers do, hot and momentarily solid.

i am a poet
i see things that no human ever should:
the intricate coding of life
an emotion held by the gaze of one person to another
a tear falling silently that helps grow a daffodil.

Society's Suffocating Expectations
As girls we’re taught many things at a young age.
We’re taught what’s considered “ladylike,” and what’s not,
Keeping us in line to better fit society's mold.
