I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know what I'm feeling
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know who I'm being
I'm overwhelmed,
frustrated,
I can't cope

These are the slogans
I repeat to myself
Over and over again

Oh yeah

I'm a failure too
I've lived this life
What did I do?
What do I have to
show for it?

These facts about myself
are the one thing
I'm very positive about.

I repeat these slogans
day in and day out
always wondering
what I'm so
depressed about

I bury my head in these sands

Suffocating
Smothering
choking on anxiety
in my own
advertising slogans
on my private airwaves

To complicate
matters
worse
just because we think something
doesn't make it true
that goes for
self worth too.

But

Mindfulness
stands
watching the passing cars
from a freeway overpass
like our racing thoughts
not holding on
not making them go away,
in peace
simply
letting them
be.
States of mind are transitory, come and go.

Broken heart
Shattered feelings
The love is lost
But was it even there?
Were the feelings so closeted it left?


He kept me on delivered
All I wanted was to be read
I wanted him to examine me and my emotions
But could he truly understand me?
Could he understand that I was hurt deep down?
Or was I so flawed he just saw it as another insecurity within myself?

**Delivered, Delivered

A week of rain, then some sun

Our love is dead

It is gone to the ages

I lie alone bed

Now my feelings are in cages


What we had is lost

It lies within the ground

Only I know the cost

But you I'm glad I found.
For the same girl who broke my heart twice, saved my life once, and will always have a piece of me. It had to end before we burned each other to keep us warm.

these depressing thoughts are catching up to me,
and i feel as if though i can't breathe,
i'm tired of this war going on beneath,
my flesh, and inside my soul,
which is now the colour of coal,
i'm no longer whole.
pieces of me are attached to the people or things that have broken me,
you see,
i can't look at myself in the mirror and say,
"You can get through this kid, like you did yesterday."
Anymore,
for i just see a girl who's ready to give up,
but the funny thing is,
is that she doesn't give up,
she keeps breathing,
she keeps thinking,
she keeps listening to her heart beating,
because she knows,
that deep inside,
**a part of her is still alive.
i know it's hard, to keep living, to keep breathing, to do all of this. but at the end of the day, there's always a part of you that tells you to stay alive. listen to that part of you, and stay strong.

can i ask a favor?
let me climb all the way up
through the chalk of the night
scatters of seeping ivory and wan silver
treading on the tiny reminders of design
wading knee-deep through the tide of marbled moon's blood
luminescent and whispering
in flickering voices
and twinkling smiles
and let me slumber
amongst their soft and burning hues
floating in ebony waters
overflowing with splendor
The night sky is lit up with the wonder & majesty of God <3

A flower bending
in the wind doesn't actually
yield, though it seems so

"You're a doctor, right?"
he said as he lifted his shirt
"Tell me, is this normal?"

Across his torso were threads
of red, rose, gold
coinciding with black
They circled, they swirled, they turned,
They stretched upward
from his ribs, and from his gut
and became the shape
of a heart

I said, "I knew you were
hiding something."
Another bad poem cause why not

Always on a dark, rainy morning
I’m waiting for release
Want to go outside,
Scream to be taken out for a walk,
Bark at my leash
Want real release
Because my chin is up now
And I’m quiet
Ready to see some terrible
Work getting done
Waiting for something to happen
I’m tired of outer peace
I long for a close encounter
Or a thousand fights
Blood released
Sweat released
Tears released
Not just internally

Strong like a foundation
Rock solid in every way
Her skin is soft as velvet
God built her this very way
She hides most of her fears
Wears all her hats like a boss
She flows against the stream
and is the calm in the chaos
A beautiful mystery to unravel
One layer at at time
Only people close to her
Know the thoughts of her mind
Her eyes show compassion
and fierceness just the same
From the ashes she will rise again
and Woman is her name
