Young Love

“Look at her,”

There was a lovestruck girl obsessively drawing hearts on her note card 

“look at past you.”

Sincere love flowed from her fingertips.

She believed she was loved.

“Do you think she's dumb?”

 

Though that time has died

and I cringe inside,

no, 

naive, maybe,

but there's things I now lack

and I wish I could go back.

  • Come On

    Come on,

    just another step.

     

    Come on,

    just another breath.

     

    Come on,

    just another swallow

    of the pain that makes you hollow.

     

    Just one more sweet smile

  • Why I write

    I write to relate,

     

    and to speak my truth.

    I write to prove I know pain,

    and to see that others do too.

     

    I write to be heard.

     

    When the world becomes a deaf frustration,

  • Stuffies

    They're always there when I need them,

    they never run away.

    They're always here when troubles stem

    to hear what I have to say.

     

    They don't judge 

    or hold a grudge.
