A Pen, A Survival

I write so not to
suffocate on my
smoky thoughts

I write so not to
forget that I, too,
have a voice that
won’t be silenced

I write so not to
use the knife
as an outlet

I write so not to
choke on the thorny words
that linger in my throat

I write so not to
be hushed by my—
inner demons
—sweet seductress

I write so not to
burn alone in
my own inferno

I write so not to
die

Why I write poetry.

Write to Release

Close your eyes
Count to ten
Take a breath
Find a pen
Write it out
Let it loose
Don't get lost
In these woods
For one day
You might get stuck
Way too far
In the muck

Shot at Fame

Blown up
Then
Blown away
Short shot at fame
Just to be washed away

missing you (10w)

i miss you
there's nothing poetic about it
at all

about and to a lot of people
