Growth is Not Linear
If I could sparkle in the sun And blind the sight of everyone And for a moment force a pause As everyone surrendered to my flaws My cheeks would bloom My eyes would bud The warmth would raise my skin From under mud Revealing authentic charm An aura gold and spry And hard earned humanity No single soul could reject Could I accept the moment? Would it connect? While every gaze screams “worthy” Would mine still deflect?

A Self Skeptic
My depression is my ***** kitchen Sink filled to the brim with ***** dishes Old food left stuck in waiting Much like the thoughts in my head, I have to get water from the bathroom sink, In theory rinsing them after sounds so easy But just the thought reminds of the summer I spent working for my dad power washing old fences. My depression is my unbrushed hair thrown in a bun everyday Knots left stuck in waiting Much like the thoughts in my head, I tell people I do the same thing because I’m not good at doing hair but I used to love it, In theory running a brush through it sound so easy But just the thought reminds me of when I sprained both my wrists and my body starts to twinge My depression is the fake teeth stuck in my mouth Because self destruction was never an Option Now it’s become another excuse to avoid connection Much like the thoughts in my head I tell people I’m shy I tell people I don’t have much in common with anyone else But in my head we’ve become best friends My depression is the outside stillness Because the unmatched chaos in my head leaves no energy for much else It’s being tired after I’ve slept It’s being hopeless after my personal church It’s being trapped after another hand touches mine It’s being mute with a series of novels to speak It’s anesthesia awareness It’s not being in a dungeon but being the dungeon itself It’s being in a glass box all filled with water but a corner left of air I’m pressed up against to breathe but keep gulping in water Knowing it’s just a matter of time

I hear your name every day Against my will Sometimes it starts in the morning After a dream Sometimes not long after waking up In the songs I listen to while I drink my tea Sometimes on licenses plates Because it’s such a short ******* name Sometimes being called out in the streets Because it’s such a common ******* name Sometimes buzzing in my brain Honey soaked name Sticks to the folds of my gray matter While the white waits around for its weekly drip Sometimes your name feels like Voldemort Sometimes your name feels like a Crucifix Sometimes your names feels like a direction Sometimes your names feels like a 404 error Sometimes your name feels like a bag around my head Sometimes your name feels like a stepping stone Sometimes your name feels like medicine Sometimes your name feels like a sickness Sometimes your name feels like home Sometimes your name feels like an anti-hero Sometimes your name feels like deprivation

Your Name Here
Just thinking about being open to someone makes my body cringe A harsh tingle curves my spine And that’s just the reaction To my mind In real life all traces of attention and focus Run away from me And the sides of my eyes tinge black If boldness was full bodied I’d be a paper doll All I can do is change outfits Maybe add a new do A nice winter scarf Your favorite pair of my shoes Little hints Of something with dimensions But nothing more Rip me up when you start to see The creases, the wrinkles Maybe donate me to someone underprivileged

Just thinking about being open to someone
Love me without motive Fill me not with void When we spoon Grasp me when your non dominant hand So when your knife fingers cut right through me Your aim isn’t as accurate

Non dominance
Where have you been my poet friend? My forest without trees My honey *** With its side cracked Repelling all the bees Where have you gone? My unfinished song My note without a tune My secret long unkept Lyrically eating with a spoon In your absence I’ve cleaned trash from streets Planted and picked a garden of lovely sweets And even felt the kiss of eternal peace But still I speak to the aberration in the room Forthwith forthright Shaken by my runes I leave a trail of crumbs Leading to my tomb

Trail of Crumbs
Georgette wrinkled by force And will Spun by universal magnet Small space between sets of finger tips Open a room woozy and uncertain A reunion grasped right and held close A team of hips sway in rudimentary crass sartorius pronouncements like that of fine tongue Linger in wisps of flair Elegant syncopation lifts the heaviest of airs And chaînés chaînés chaînés chaînés

The Dance Of Opposition
If you want to get to know me Don’t speak I’ve placed myself here With elegant intention In observation In purpose Your un-will Has met mine And they have entangled To create new

I ate your truth Of fermented fruit It left me dizzy in a sense of self
