Keep Up Hope


No one was safe
from the calling
that came
when it all
collapsed
there was chaos
the problems
were endless
and no one
was finding the answer
we searched
for the key
to the door
of safety
but it was hidden
under the rug
slowly
the pain built
until it was unbearable
for some
they left
they left the world
and its problems
society seemed done for
people were losing hope
but 
for the sake
of the few
that are still looking
for the light switch
in this dark room of a world
we must keep hoping

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
