The thoughts of a writer
can be a terrific
and terrible chasm,
simultaneously.
They spring from one precipice
to another,
dangerously, no-
longingly
peering over the edge,
ready to bound
head-first
towards the next
afflatus.

Watch out for writers. Their mind is a beautiful and dangerous place. Thanks for reading!

Fighting.

People keep asking me
"What do you want your life to look like in five years?"

they always cringe when I say
"I just want to fight long enough to open my eyes tomorrow morning."

Blossom

Some plants,
they bloom
in the summer.
Others—
in autumn or spring.
Oh!
But you my dear
have weathered
through so many
struggles.
You will blossom
through so many
others.

Remember friends, not all pains or struggles are external. Don’t give up your fight.

“Moth”

I was a moth,
drawn to you
like a candle-
until you blew out
the flame.

We all have that person who we are drawn to at some point, whether it be a friendship or relationship, that just ends in a way that blindsides us.

Next Time

The words weren’t coming
They just weren’t there
I did try to find them
I looked everywhere

The words weren't coming
No answer to my plea
Nothing was working
Though I fought valiantly

I had to surrender
So I napped instead
When I awoke they
Clambered out of my head

I have no time for writing
No time to break rhyme
But if I leave them right now
Will they be there next time?
