bones
I'm surrounded by these four walls,
My thoughts bouncing off of them;
Loud and clear.

I find comfort in these four walls,
Knowing that my cries for help never leave,
That when I wail at night no one can get to me.

I also feel trapped by these four walls,
They make me feel small,
The white colour blinding me when I come up for air each time.

But these four walls know me better than anyone else here,
They know the real me.
Because when I leave these four walls every morning,
I leave as a new me.
its been a while since I've written on this website. it feels odd to be back.
I hope this poem makes sense in some way.

And despite the swelling and bruising,
We move forward

They’ll never understand me
My words are spoken but not heard
I wonder if they can see
I wonder if they realize that for some reason-
I can’t stop moving forward.
Practice healthy healing habits, not this one

I may love a version of you for the rest of my life,
But as long as you keep showing me that you’re not that person anymore,
Then it isn’t you that I’m in love with

When the moon shines its subtle glow over our heads,
thoughts race through my mind like the greatest of Grand Prix,

The distractions of the day are gone
And contemplation rules these hours

Memories, speculations, future scenarios,
All that exists converge within my mind

I lie awake, unable to drift into the calm waters of sleep,
Instead, I find myself in the volatile winds of a natural disaster,

Chaos consumes me as I long to find the bliss
Of the glistening diamond on its pedestal

Completely and utterly
untethered to the outside world

You and I
stars amongst the sky
Beautiful from afar
yet burning inside

Long are the nights we spend together
I remember how they sped by,
fast
as fast as a blink of an eye

I do not want to let go,
but I feel something building inside of me
Growing larger by the second
And I am afraid of supernova
