Chains

Each word is a chain

Wrapping around me

Trapping me in this idea

You have created

There are no keys to unlock

Me from your grasp

Only my words

Can undo your chains

But I'm tired

Of fighting

I have wasted many breaths

On this

Begging you to unlock

The chains

That you have made

With your words

Every glance you give me

Another barrier

Your eyes as cold as ice

But my eyes have lost their fire

I am trapped

I am no longer trying to get out

All I want is to survive

Please

Unwrap your chains of words

Lower your eyes

Now you know why I can never leave

    That opens doors

    The love that is

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
