Written


It's funny the way that I write,
midnight on my lowest days,
as if this pain holds me accountable,
as if it pushes me to feel where I can not,
it's when I close my eyes and pray for the solace in this world,
that my brain takes over,
I dream too y'know,
well and very often,
The night tarrors that struck me young lay with me still,
and so I chose to write instead. 

my brain creates a list of words,
of feelings and emotions,
a laundry list to put on paper,
the words left best unspoken.

If I were to ask for help,
id prove myself as wrong,
but I simply put words in writing,
listing all that'd gone.

  • War

    Every story I've ever been told has held a spot in my life, 

    The goodest of hero's and foulest of foes did share with me the night. 

  • Five of Me

    I feel sometimes I'm split in two, 

    Of all the things I have to do, 

    I must answer call from call, 

    And write you when you feel small, 

  • Pluto

    She wished that space would talk to her,

    And whispered to the moon,

    About the days that haunted her,

    And those that would come soon.

    She wanted to apologize,

    For wishing on the stars,
