She stole my heart.

I found it
listed on eBay.

I want to say
I want to write
I want to film
I want to type
I want to sign
I want to show
I want to sing
I want to let go
I want to share
but why do I dare
the censor is there

I'm weightless, because gravity is baseless, I'm endless, because time is timeless, I'm love, because I choose to be hateless

The bully has no empathy
no way to show sympathy
The bully only knows power
to make the prey cower
The bully only feeds the ego
cut from hate, friend or foe
The bully soothes pain unknown
no excuse for the abuse shown
The bully will see the true light
only from hell's fire, so bright

you run
i chase
you run more
i chase more
you slow
i catch
you tease
i like
those eyes
that smile
just wow
i confess
you ignore
i confess more
you joke
i hurt
you pretend it wasn't you
i hurt more
i pretend it wasn't you

Every day, life begins afresh, with yesterday defeated forever.

i’m not
being a brat

i won’t
go to my room
and take a nap
you can’t force me
you’re not my daddy
i don't love you
go away

daddy
i’m sorry
i’m tired
will you
come take a nap
with your little

Dear stranger: it's no secret
that times have been hard for everyone.
But you're not everyone, are you?
Maybe you lost someone.
Maybe you lost yourself.
Maybe you've been asked to do more
than you signed up for. Whatever's going on,
I know it may seem like you're losing control. Like you don't have a choice.
However this poem finds you,
I hope you come to find that you DO
have a chance to have a choice.
A chance to raise your voice.
I hope that someday, you accept
that you are worthy of love.
That you stop feeling guilty you survived.
But most of all, I hope that someday,
you wake up and find yourself grateful and happy to be alive
