What if I told you this pen felt like a gun and these words were the bullets And if my thoughts are the trigger and you were my paper would you let me pull it? If so I'll treat this ink like it's my blood put my pen to paper, like a gun to the head and hopefully write too many words so you'll never see me again

The gravel crackles My guardian holds me tight Eight years til I smiled

Maternity Leave
If you were a marker and I was paper And the only way I could erase your mark is to burn drown in liquids crumple myself up or cut the mark out Would you still write on me? Wait. How'd I get all these marks on me

Where's my pencil
I like to hide sticky notes around the house that remind me Sometimes the notes sing to me in a melody that I can't ignore And the notes of perfume that cling to my nose are daunting My eyes glued to any glimpse of the notes that I find The taste of them give off a bitter note that I love and hate But the only note I can't seem to find is the one I can hold in my hands Must've lost it somewhere..

Her Notes
Innocence crawls through the mud so that Ignorance can waltz in the flowers

Happy Stupor
What do we feel? Is it the stinging fact that we know the skin of this onion is in our hands.. Why is it that we cry when the onion is the one being cut? Sorry for the Cliche. This isn't about onions..

Dull Knife
These words feel hollow They barely shine through a star with no luminescence on a cloudless night Just so the clouds can pose to cry, and call it rainfall Be careful what you ask for

My Choice
Just trying to figure out when the meaning of all this becomes nourishment while it consumes me

Food For Thought
Skittish ignorance petrifies us of being crushed whilst knowing the juice is sweeter than the unpressed grape.. So why do we question the weight of the oil press? Doesn't the core of an apple bear seed? Or the water from a coconut not nourish us? the mirage that being pressed doesn't make you firm. seeing the pleasure in letting go but the audacity to keep holding on. The oil is always more valuable than the olive
