Emily

I wish I could love like they do
I wish I could understand like they do
I wish  I didn't feel trapped or enclosed
I wish I didn't have to feel different
I wish I could control myself
I wish I could be anything he wanted
I wish I wasn't so awkward
I wish I could be more brave
I wish I wasn’t so afraid
I wish I could… just….
I wish I could…

Sun and moon

It's as if you are on fire from
Within
Yet still the moon lives
In the
Lining of your skin

Bleeding

Bleeding

I did nothing wrong.
Why do I have the punishment?
Separated, outcast, cast aside.
Too inconvenient for acknowledgment.

Parties continue, pictures are taken.
I have been erased.
Wounded and broken, but instead of comfort:
"Why are you bleeding all over the place?"

Why must the victim pay for the crime?

Merely a flower

drawn by budding child,
my hope is uneven but
never wilts away.

With love.

Amnesia

Amnesia

You were not sin.
Pain interrupted to trigger
an ancient love.

Marigolds were in
bloom. Copper- brown. Your body
does not belong to you.

Paper dreams fly
to catch the moon in dark.
Time to burn wings.

Sister, there is no need
To push aside your pain.
Embrace it, for flowers
Cannot grow without rain.
