Spirit Animal

Her skin is translucent. 

Blood rushes to her cheeks as she speaks. 

Her eyes are piercing. 

Mahogany doors to the depths of her soul. 

Her hair is like wildfire. 

It cannot be tamed. 


Like a foal she is young, 

But she lifted her head within the first hour. 

She learned how to walk, she developed her trot, 

And now she is running up the hill. 

She seldom looks back, except to her mom, 

Who taught her everything when she was young. 

And now she puts on her two hooves, 

With responsibility over what she may choose. 

On her path, there are two main things,

Learning to laugh and enjoy what life brings.

  • Rebirth

    Sometimes I'm afraid. 
    Afraid of who I am and who I'm yet to be. 
    With every moonrise brings uncertainty, 
    Because I know this is my last conscience breath.
    In this body, in this mind, 
  • All I See Are Snakes


    All I see are snakes in my dreams, 
    They wanna bite me, devour me whole. 
    I try to take charge but it always ends the same. 
    They fill me with poison as I scream "Stay Back!"
    Down the same road, I run away. 
  • Laying Here

    Laying here with the songs we used to play, 
    Missing the times when we were young and stupid. 
    Before the anxiety of college education, 
    When we could just kick back and be kids.
