reach it

this is written for the artists
who's brushes paint believing tales
across a canvas's plain face

this is written for the writers
who spin lore from broken pencils
and bloom flowers from a keyboard

this is written for the readers
who simply like to disapear
into a different world

this is written for the dreamers
who slip and fade away
from the boring place around them

this is written for the sports players
who pour their energy and time
into working for a reachable goal

this is written for the scientests
who feel as though you cross the finish line
when you finally reach the answer

this is written for everyone
whether you paint a future
or sprint on a hundred-meter dash towards one
you will reach it



Inspired by Jason Reynolds 'For Everyone'. I would recomend it to anyone who has a dream (and if you like poetry).

  • 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
