when they say that they're
no good for you
b e l i e v e  t h e m.

The only thing you should always love is yourself,
its the only person you can depend on.

People ask me if I okay
I lie and say yes, everything is fine
I'm crying inside, begging for help
Praying that someone will rescue me
From the hole I dug and crawled into

It's been ingrained in me since childhood
That all poetry should rhyme;
But if art reflects life,
Then poetry should not make sense
All the time

I don't write well
I write crookedly and
disjointedly
and
my words do not always
make sense to any but me
but I write
and the pain in me
spills and becomes something real
some constructive
and unlike that terrible reality
of blood in the bathtub
I create I create I create
I don't write well
but I am writing something
at least.

Find me where eyes can't take you.
In blind darkness
feel out my heart and soul.
