I can never be a great writer
Not to everyone
But to me
I am good enough

They are my words
My thoughts
They can never be anyone else's

My poems are mine to consume
And if I share them with the world
The consequence is that they may not be loved
And that's okay

Because they are not meant for the world
They are meant for me
To assemble my buzzing mind
I have been writing a lot. But only for me. I have to convince myself that my words matter too. Maybe not to you, but to me. I hope someday it matters to me.

my greatest fear

reveals itself to be

something happening

and you never missing me

I hope you fall in love with being alive
That you feel it coarsing through your veins
Pumping in your heart
A light feeling in your chest
And all you want to do is scream for joy

I wish I'd never wasted poems on you.
you don't deserve it

we do not write poetry
we write mirrors
which are held up
to curious faces
who read
looking for their
own reflections

One morning

I didn't wake up

And all of a sudden

The world fell in love with me

I wonder if I really am kind hearted.
Most people think it’s true,
But maybe I’m just afraid of being mean-
Maybe I’m afraid of being you.
