Denver, CO 19. Aspiring Poet.
Stomach dressed in black holes, Heart of velvet chained with barbed wire. Second guessing instinct, And I attempt to trust the liar. Sampling my memories Try to collect what I have learned. Bringing it, just below the surface. Is this the life I've earned? I'd like to believe I deserve more. In fact, I think I will. But as of late it seems my life Is standing perfectly still. And the God in me Promises fruition. "But it can only come, With a trust in intuition." 3/30/17

The God In Me
The more I connect myself to the universe and the Earth.. the farther I fade from the human way... Starting to feel more alien And outlandish Every excruciating day. Trying to collect my tribe and find which lane to travel. But my wheels Keep turning. And I'm moving high. Far from the gravel. Try and pull me down, I ******* dare you. But no way. No ******* way you're taking Away my crown. You can watch from down there with envy and defeat Or you can take my hand and allow me to show you How darkness can be sweet. I'm a ***** In my own corner. Love me or lose me. Either way, You'll be a mourner. But don't let that scare you off now.. For it isn't cold here. I can show you, That the universe is you Inside a mirror. 9/15/16

Mirror
Flames form above the clouds. And I'm stuck here wondering How did I get so lucky? Despite the storm coming down, I'm blessed enough To find the sunset. How can I be ungrateful when the sun comes back every morning? And leaves me at night With its shining and cratered Lunar light.. What did I do to deserve this magnificence? 4/13/16

Dearest moth, Just a week ago, I feared you. The way you bounce against things And recuperate Like it never happened.. But now I see why the hurt never bothered you. Your only goal is a search for warmth and light. And nothing gets in your way. I feared you. But now I think that everyone should be just like you, Mr. Moth. 9/8/16

Moths
I perspire with a pulsing hope That love will prevail. A winding path leads me to a house of ruin. Only leaving me with the discovery that love; like beauty, Is in the eye of the beholder. Through broken glass I find myself falling Deeper in love With desolation. Because without darkness, light holds no value. 4/4/16

Dark Within Light
The swift sound Of steel against skin Brings me to a Deja Vu I promised myself To never feel again. But with waves Come a crashing. And now I require my old friend And a bit of slashing. Only for the hope That my heart will Steady again.. 3/10/16

Slash
Treading lightly. Dreaming of you. Your laugh. It envelopes me Like water. Cleanses my anxiety. Could love taste this sweet? Or is this only My hopes Rising up And filling my lungs Only to leave me Empty? 3/8/16

Hopes
Heart shaped lips. He likes to call it bliss. But all I feel is a mind screaming to be freed. Teacup sized **** You can't get enough of this. But all I want Is my oversized, palpitating heart to be held by something other than cold, ungrateful hands. Nice shaped legs. You salivate at the sight of them. But all I want is to walk this Earth not afraid to be who I really am. Every inch of my body is beautiful. I know, I know. I'm beautiful. But what about the soul? What about the love that flows through my veins? What do you make of this? 8/16/16

What of the soul?
Soon I will be gone from here. And no one will find me. Maybe forever is just a Hyperbole. Used in times Of despair.. & I’m starting to realize That even something As concrete as family Ebbs with the tide Until there is nothing more than traces of blood And distant memories. And even they Who once made Promises of tomorrow's fertility Have gone into gallows of darkness. So why should I stay? Who is to keep me? Not promises of infinity. Not the blood of relatives. Just me and my Broken heart. To roam this earth. Til death do us part. 3/15/16

Only Me
Then you said something about how this shouldn’t couldn’t happen again picking your shorts off the floor squirming your legs into them like milky straws me in bed your reflection in the mirror one hand in your hair strands hurled back and forth as if throwing last night out of your head red streams in your eyes stains on the table and I’m static but inside all over the place
