My Pet Plant

She is strong
She pulled herself through strong winds,
Roots gripping the earth, refusing to break.
She survived with little care,
Drinking from the silence,
Holding on when no hands reached out.

She never complained about the thirst,
Welcoming the sun, even when it burned.
She learned to bloom in shadows,
Happy with the little attention she received.

She stayed, even when neglected,
Spreading fresh air to breathe,
A silent companion when no one else was around.
A quiet strength, unseen yet unwavering.

She stopped withering away.
She adapted.
She grew.
She became more than survival—
She became life itself.

Hush now, my dear, and close your eyes,
The moon is drifting through the skies.
The stars are singing soft and sweet,
A lullaby where dreams will meet.

The ocean hums a gentle song,
Its waves will carry you along.
The silver fish, with tails aglow,
Swim through the night, where soft winds blow.

The clouds are pillows in the sky,
They’ll catch your dreams as they float by.
The winds will rock the trees to sleep,
And whisper secrets soft and deep.

The fireflies blink their tiny lights,
Guiding you through peaceful nights.
The world is calm, the world is still,
With every breeze, your heart grows chill.

Rest now, my love, the night is near,
The stars will hold you close and dear.
With every breath, the world turns slow,
As dreams of magic gently flow.

In fields of lavender, soft and wide,
Where sleepy rivers softly glide,
The moon will guide you through the dark,
And leave a kiss upon your heart.

Hush now, my dear, the night is long,
The stars will carry you along.
In the quiet arms of night’s embrace,
Sleep until the morning’s grace.

Beneath the stars, the world is calm and still,
A quiet breath that whispers through the night.
The moonlight casts a glow on every hill,
As dreams take flight beneath its silver light.

The winds, they speak in soft and gentle tones,
And dance with leaves that flutter through the air.
In sleep’s embrace, the weary heart atones,
To rest in peace, free from all earthly care.

The dawn will rise, but now the night is here,
A time for dreams to whisper soft and low.
With every breath, the dark is drawing near,
And all is calm, as stars begin to glow.

So close your eyes and let the world drift by,
For dreams are waiting where the shadows lie.

lullaby

i could say so much stuff
so much lies
so much hate

perhaps the lullaby
the lullaby my mother sang
taught me how to be kind

the woods are on fire
the animals are on fire

so much lies
so much hate

perhaps
perhaps the gentle coos
the gentle coos of their mothers
taught them to be kind

they will remain kind.
i will remain kind.

driven by instinct,
or driven by heart.
even if we are kind,
we keep on fire.
oh, god, how can i remain kind,
when the whole world’s blind?

Loud

Too loud

One Breath

Now Another



Red

Blue

Red

Blue



My lungs strained to breathe through this fiery hell

I can hear their screams now

Too late

It’s much too late now









Your eyes

Your eyes

No

That’s not it



It never was





Lying

Stop lying to me

I know you didn’t

You never did



It’s fun

It’s fun

But then you left





I can’t help

I can’t help but wonder

Why

Why you left me?



Caught

Red-Handed

You lie so easy



You know

I know

Can’t change

Can’t change



So stop

Just stop

Never listened

Never cared



So stop

Just stop

Can’t hear

Can’t hear you anyway



Eyes

Eyes

But they aren’t yours

It’s a light

It’s a lie

It’s all over now
trying a new style

You taught me to love
You taught me to smile
But you couldn't even stay
All but a while

The smallest, most meek, yet not the least,
My brothers faced your wrath, a furious beast—
Shielding me, their strength became my shield,
In your storm, their love was all they'd yield.

Though the world is cruel, bitter, and cold,
I know they'll stay with me, as we grow old.
As your icy rage begins to fade,
I smile at Jon’s grace, undismayed.

Le ciel, le soleil, les étoiles…  
Aucun ne brille aussi fort que toi.  
Ton doux sourire emplit mon cœur de chaleur,  
Même aux jours les plus glacés de l’hiver.  

Ta beauté rivalise avec la fleur,  
Mais même la plus éclatante des roses s’efface devant toi.  
Je désire chérir ton amour  
Et t’épouser en ce jour.

Is it really

Depression

If you can acknowledge

That you're not ok?

Is it really

Denial

If you know why

It turned out this way?

Is it really

Anxiety

If you have a

Valid reason to worry?

I am tired of being tired

When my brain refuses to sleep

So many different voices

All fighting for a chance to speak

They have needs and desires

Words that must be heard

But the fact I haven't slept in months

Is absolutely absurd

Close your eyes and shut your mouth

Give me silence just this once

I want to sleep

I need to sleep

But if I close my eyes

...The devil may claim my soul to keep...
