Diana
My mother
Made it harder for me
To find my identity
Because she shamed autonomy
Which is why
I struggled to separate
My opinions and behaviors
I didn’t know
If I liked and disliked things
Because she made me believe in such
Or if it truly was my decision

And so I rest

as if every dream that has been




never was to begin with

You hold many things in you.
Your eye wanders with deliberation
and your soul is a rhythm
that is wanting
safe harbor.

-

These energies are diabolical.
They seek to drain.

-

I'll plant
these flowers
for you.
I wrote this one day during a graduate school seminar. Sometimes, you can really pick up on other people's negative energies, especially within an atmosphere where many people feel the need to "one-up" someone else.

You were always loving me "despite"
I needed you to love me "because"

art is
blood

we cut
our
souls

on purpose

sometimes
it trickles

sometimes
it oozes

and

sometimes
it spurts

and always
we create

these scars

we heal
but never

hide

Give it a little tug

Come on, it's okay

It's not gonna bite or anything

Just pull on it

Harder

HARDER

...

There you go

That wasn't so difficult now, was it?

Everyone struggles a bit their first time so don't worry.

You sometimes have to pull the tags off of your clothes before you wear them, otherwise it's itchy.
Please forgive me

Hello?

Why do I constantly feel alone
I alway feel like I am unknown
A creature just wanting to be their own
A creature that has drasticly grown.
