Everything was so horrible
That words stood beside me and gaped
At a life so cruel.
We held our flags while they held their guns
We approached them with roses yet they stained us with our own blood

More than 320 were killed, more than 12,000 were injured, hundreds were arrested and abducted, still we’re fighting.

Look for pictures, my friends. And you’ll see why words can no longer suffice in describing the tragedy happening in my country.

The familiarity of what I was comes up on your lips
Living in the dark you accept anything given called love
But we both know labels are bandaids for sick intentions
I wage enough war within myself daily, I am no longer interested in fighting outside of me
I use to seek out me in others, that's not healing. Snakes, she has them. Her head and heart slither over your soul and body with warmth and tight embrace. We don't eat until food is ripe, ready, at its peak of vulnerability. With ego full she wanders.......

beth fwoah dream
red leaves,
hollows of water
and sun,
bright reflections,
the day drifts
opens the afternoon
like a love letter
softer for its layers
of bronze.
