Fire surrounds me
Burning so hot and aggressively
Yet the flames that lick my skin don’t hurt
Instead they fill me with passion and determination
The power and strength necessary for the quest ahead
It burns away the restraints holding me back
At last
I am reborn
At last
I live

Enslaved for so long
In this despicable hell hole
Chained, broken, ******
While a wild sea thrashes over me
Deafening me
Weakening me
But one night
During the eye of the storm
I look up
And see her staring down at me
With a voice like thunder
“Rise and take your rightful place”
Then the storm overtakes me again
But I find the will
To free myself from these chains
I demand to be freed from this prison
By order of the goddess who believed in me
I no longer answer to the sea
It answers to me

Calm
Stillness
You’ll find me at the center
A memory flashes
One tear escapes
A ripple forms
And now the calm
And the stillness
Become a giant wave by the time it reaches the shore
One thought
One moment
One tear
Can shift the balance between peace and destruction
And that peace,
Once it’s disrupted
Is so hard to find again
Because who can tame a stormy sea?

Like sap, lazily seeping down a tree
Through the cracks in the bark
From the peak to the earth
Or a breeze, gently lifting the leaves
Shaking the young branches
Creating a whistle
Or sunshine, surely warming the air
Rays peek through the treetops
Heating what’s below
Or the fog, swiftly setting in
Hugging the forest floor
Trapping souls in a hazy stupor
Goosebumps cover my flesh
And my breath quakes
As the call envelops me
And I wander deeper into its sound
Until I’m lost

What a feeling
Getting so high that you truly can’t come down
Soaring to a different plane of being
So far off the ground
The kind of high that gives you the toe curling tingles
One that you feel in your gut
Euphoric
Your heart stops beating for a second
And everything moves in slow motion
Then you crash
And it feels like your dumped in ice water
The heat rushes to your skin
The butterflies take off in your belly
Every nerve ending fires
And you start floating

Skip
Is what I felt when I met you
That skip
Was like power jumping
Off of the moon
And free floating in space
It was like leaving my body
And being slammed back into it
And to think
I haven’t even truly seen you yet
I can’t even imagine what that skip
Will feel like
When your eyes meet mine
When you hold my hand
When you kiss me
At what point will it no longer be a skip
But instead a stop

Alone,
in the prison
that is my mind.
The jailbirds’ whispers
raise all the hairs on
my skin.
“Give up”
“You’ll never be good enough”
“Just end your
pathetic
miserable
life”
I cannot take
this torture
anymore.
So, I killed the jailbirds
Before they could **** me

There’s a familiar tug on my heart strings
One that I haven’t felt in some time
Although it’s strange
It’s also comforting
I never realized how much
My soul yearned for music
But even though I’m out of tune
I’d love for you to play me a melody
The spirit within me starts to sing and dance
To your notes
Because even though I’ve never heard it before
I already know this song

Longing
So
so
much longing
It’s that undeniable
Magnetic feeling
That draws me in
Unforgivingly
It makes me want
To crawl out of my own skin
Just to get closer to you
It makes me want
To lock you away
Just so I don’t have to share
It makes me crazy
This
Unstoppable
Longing
I crave to be your arms
Constantly
Endlessly
It’s as if you have
Infected all of my being
Down to the soul
I ache knowing
That my arms
Aren’t wrapped around you
But instead are wrapped around me

I once believed
that monsters hid
under the bed
and in the closet.
I never knew
where they truly resided:
within me.
I am cursed.
My monsters
told me so
last night when they kept me awake.
You see, they show
their ugly faces
all night long
and remind me
to stay awake,
or else they’ll get me.
A restful night,
a pleasant dream,
these things I’ve only hoped for
but do not actually know them.
Because I live a haunted life.
And once you are haunted,
you will never know peace.
