Autumn Forest Goddess
as I sit here –
deep in the forest, bathed in shadow,watching the leaves fall,
tell me, why does the earth end in such a pretty display?I holler to the trees,
they answer with a rustle -
I, the minotaur
here I sit-
bathed in darkness
trapped beyond reach of the sunI do not touch the poor creatures they cast into my darkness
flesh does not satiate me
so I chew on my rage -
Autumn Arriving
Autumn! She's here at last, sweeping about the earth in a whirlwind of color.

going home
At last, school is over. Finally I am released by these awful white walls and artificial light.

must take our undergrown wings and fly. -

Good news
I don't want the cold hallways,
their chill seeping underneath
my thin regulation gown and settling in my bones.
I don't want the nurses,
with their tight, sympathetic smiles

5 years ago I was in 5th grade
My "friend" told me I had a weird laugh
I was too scared to laugh after that

Pressures of Love
For anyone who's been thinking about Valentine's day, or not, I just wish so much that for once I could get someone to like me back. But then do I? It's fine to be single and I'm fine being single, but I hate being called single.

Weaving My Hair into Strength
My fingers weave my hair into a braid
Twisting in the experiences I’ve faced:
The “girliness” insults
That say I’m not delicate enough,
The jokes about how I look,
