Poetry doesn't have to ryhme, it just has to touch someone where your hands couldn't.
Believe me, you're not the only one
who's broken, because If you look close
enough at all those around  you, you'll
only see remnants of scars and wounds from
past experiences that make up quarters and halves
where there had once been wholes.
Everyone has a story
You dress in all black
But have the most colorful mind.
The people
who consider you weak
have not yet noticed
the wolf  hiding
behind  your eyes,
nor the flames
inside your soul.

Let them think
you are weak
and do what
wolves and fire
do best.

Surprise them
when they least expect it.
Stay Fierce
Some people are born with tornadoes in their lives,
but constellations in their eyes. Other people are born with stars at their feet, but their souls are lost at sea.
Girls like her
were born in a storm.
They have lightning in their souls,
Thunder in their hearts,
and chaos in their bones.

You should start growing
your own beautiful garden
Instead of waiting for someone who'll only
bring you a single flower

If you're going to walk away
Please give me a reason
Don't be that cruel
To leave me forever wondering what I did wrong

If you're going to walk away,
Please take away with you all those tears I will be shedding
Take away with you the pain and
Take the memories with you as well
