"it's okay.
grades don't mean everything.
you'll be okay, stop stressing out over small things that can be fixed.
it's okay to cry over nothing.
do you want a hug?
in a few years, this won't mean a thing.
breathe, deep breaths.
it's okay,
you'll be okay."
hi, i'm not feeling well and i wrote this because no one seems to be saying to me. so why not say it to myself?

i could stare at the leaves in the trees for what it seemed like eternities.
this one hour of being one with the trees felt like my whole lifetime.
everything felt silent in my head and i didn't mind the ache in my legs anymore.
empty seas Sep 2018
slimy fur slides past my stomach walls
wrapping tighter
and tighter
around my fragile lungs
i can't breathe
the monster in my chest is back
fed by my guilt
and your words
its claws are so sharp
its starving for my pain

it grabbed onto the part of me
that feels so guilty
and it forces me to think about
how upset you feel
and how you think i was unfair
over
and over
and over again

i don’t want to feel guilty
but it’s as if i have no choice
was i not fair?
i was kind and gave explanations
what more did you want?

we are free to be
whatever we please
whether or not
any others agree

our distinct vibration
shifts all of the nations
and our unique ways
are the cosmic-hydration

with no need for fixation
on anothers’ dictation
we rid ourselves of
any self-love cessation

we explode in our glory
all free from filtration
and use our relations
for human salvation

let us be who we are
embracing each scar
our imperfect nature
keeps us reaching far

releasing self-judgement
with our hearts kept ajar
we can see that our falls
were just crossroads to stars

Carina
Lying embedded in velvet gloom and night,
You and I are gazing up the northern hemisphere.
Within the sea of darkness is the stars' stained light.

Hidden inside the fabric of interstellar space,
Might be a kind of universal truth
That answers all the questions of human race.

Sensing the pull of the universe
I feel like we're lost between the infinite vastness
That none of us could ever dream to traverse.

Suddenly you get up on your knees -
Head in the sky and feet on the ground.
“Perhaps the stars only made us feel lost,
because we both wanted to be found.”
Maybe we all are just waiting to be found:)
