where i was born
i was raised to believe
in the higher power
in the divine power
‘reza pro papai do céu!’

where i was born
i was raised to love someone
upon anyone
‘ame a Deus acima de todas as coisas’

when i grew
a little bit,
a little too much in mind
so much that mom forced me
to pray to a power
i dont even believe in

yells
just yells
no, mom!
that way i won’t even listen to myself!

—perhaps that’s what it’s all about.
it’s hard to believe
dont force religion on others, please

My head is spinning
My mind is fuzzy
My eyes are burning,
Vision going hazy

My eyes close
Into a deep sleep I fall
In the morning,
                  my phone says
There's a missed call
                           From death

There's work I shouldn't be doing
But work I will not do
Until it's the very last moment
And I have to
I am a master procrastination

Crying alone

To return home
Alone in your bedroom
Where no one can see you
And to finally let yourself cry
Screaming silently into the night

im afraid of the dark


hug my teddy
he says its okay


big, small,

the shadows
im afraid of the shadows
i was so afraid
maybe things dont change
just our fears

I want a kind person to see me struggling
Not by me showing them
But by simply observing
And care
And ask if they can help
Sometimes they can
And sometimes they can't
But that itself
Is enough for my heart

Wrap around me,
tape me up,
add a bow -
then rip me up.
i am in pieces,
but at least it’s -
short n sweet.

‘tis the season right?

i guess ive always had a thing for fire
standing too close -
letting the smoke suffocate me,
the smell latch onto me.
i know i might burn,
but it’s where i want to be -

ignited by all of this desire inside of me
more gas,
more flames

People are like leaves
Some have been stepped on
And some have just fallen
Some have been taken by a child and cherished
And some left on the bottom of the leaf pile
Forgotten

People are like leaves
So different from each other
Some older
Some younger
Different shapes and sizes
Colors mixed together

People are like leaves
Some are misshapen and not picked up
And some are declared beautiful and get straightened in a book
Was walking listening to music today and this thought came to mind

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hug
I want to hug my younger self
And I also know I will when I'm older
So I hug myself now
And say it's from the future
Yes, I am aware I might be going insane
