No-Name-Emotion


furry burns bright 
in an empty heart

and anger glows silently 
under fake smiles.

while grudges condense 
like too many people in a small room

time ceases only for a very special few 
I am not one of them 
and neither are you.

so please stop trying 
to harm me just for your laughs.

stop trying to hurt me
it's pointless and silly 
trying to bend what is broken already.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
