Irrevocable

Your earth is damaged
a bruised and bloody damsel

so pretty yet ugly in this
ungodly heat.

The sun is hot, hot like hell
and flames swallow the trees

did you know green will turn to ash and
soiled water will dance through every ocean?

Your crimes will drip into your blood as
you suck up the chemical filled air,

blow it right back into your head, breathe and see,
there is a hazy fog that blinds you, blinds you till the end.

  • Growing Up

    In some crevice of my mind
    I know that spring has ended.

    I must leave behind my forest green
    and bury the laughter and dreams
    just beyond the trees.

    The snow is calling to my bones
    sapping away the life of flowers
  • Who Are You?

    I don't know.
    Shadows under my eyes 
    try to answer the question.
    They're blue and sinking deeper, fast.

    I am the girl who sings
    who writes poetry
    who stands on a stage
  • The Poets Are Mad

    All the poets are crazy,
    dreamers with so much and so little to say,
    armed only with words to make everything
    in the world right again.

    They say, it is up to the artists
    it is up to the youth
