I'm told I'm talented, beautiful, amazing, smart.

Told I'm a goddess, way ahead of others, easy to talk to.

But all that doesn't matter, because I'm also told I'm a *****.

Strive
Go deeper

To the roots
To the seeds
To a unit of life
To the infinite
To the unknown
To the hope
To find a way

Strive
Even further.....

As above

I've seen the priest and lawyers
and had my last meal. Big Macs
and fries and apple pie dessert.
To bed early, big day tomorrow.

I sleep. I dream. We're in a field
of wildflowers in youth's kind
innocence fumbling our way to
Eden, ****** and laughter.

A stranger takes me away to
a naked room with the smell
of death. Am I still in Eden?
I'll wait for your scent forever.

The daffodils wake,
The sun starts to climb,
The first warm rain,
The last of the wine.
Cast off your woman,
Look to the spring,
Let's see what fresh face
The season will bring.
So help lift her bags
Into the boot of her car,
The tear drops will fall
Then she'll follow her star
Because the clouds are breaking,
I can see blue,
Out with the old,
In with the new.

I'm not staying,
it's my blame.
I'll leave the innocent;
I'm not the same.
I've got blood on my hands.
Pressure to understand.
You're right.
You've always been.
I tend to forget.
I won't bother you,
still my existence bothers me.
My mind smothers me.
The nights scare me;
comfort is scarce.
The dark makes things worse,
and this silence hurts.
It can be so loud,
the noise of nothing.
The sounds of your thoughts,
utterly isolated.
I love y'all;
but I don't love me.
I can't live up to what you all think of me-

Mine is mine, not mine.
I'm fine.
I'm not holding on the line.

when a heart broken
lover
pours out all
her feelings and
translates them onto
words. something
beautiful gets created.
appreciated by many but
never the one
she's always written her
heart out for.

Grey skies , leafless trees
A moment of quietness
Remembering Spring

❤️

You will never be the thing that hurt you

When two poets love,
Words start to hang in the air
And lose their meaning.
