i am a soldier at warI don’t fight to stay alive. I fight to function. / I fight for those who need me, for those who would blame themselves. / I fight for those good days.

HouseI don’t want to be a prisoner of my past. / I am building my life on the foundation of rock bottom. / My house has windows that look out over the meadows of the future where my children will play.

NectarI drink so I don’t want to **** myself. / I drink to forget the day. / My sorrows are washed away with each sip I take

Hello, sponsor?I don’t want to be sober. / I don’t want to have to be sober. / But I want to be healthy and if I can’t control my drinking then I need help.

On the rockI’m tired of writing poems about suicide. I want to write about the trees, how they dance in the wind, and how mother nature’s artistry shows through the leaves as autumn approaches. But it’s hard to write about the beauty of this world when every thought is consuming you, telling you to leave.

savage loveI like my body when it's with you. You make me feel perfectly imperfect. You're my greatest cheerleader and my worst critic. You know me better than anyone else. You've seen me at my worst, and somehow still want to stick around to see me at my best. You hold the roadmap to my body, knowing every curve, taking some at 110 miles per hour. You know my boundaries and you push my limits. I feel on top of the world when I'm with you. There are days where I'm starved for your touch, the same one that makes me feel loved. You took the quiet girl and made her scream. "Scream for daddy." I've told you once, and I'll say it again. You've got me ****** I've tried. I can't kiss anyone else without thinking of you. You're my best friend, and I wouldn't trade you for the world. But you've got me ****** You make me want to scream in frustration, in excitement, in moans of pleasure, in gasps of pain. Your hands feel like lightning and they're just as powerful with each strike. You take my breath away in a heartbeat. Each shake of my leg is beg for your touch. Is that what I have to do? Beg? Please daddy, harder. You make me want you in every way.

UntitledI don't know how to express to you in a non-toxic way that you make me want to **** myself. And I know that isn't your responsibility to carry, but I swore there was some part of you that cared about me.
