I sit in traffic
with a text from you
"yes or no?"
my mind recreates the night in both scenarios
the question isn't hard to answer
except that my mind doesn't stop there
it explodes imagining two separate realities
two realities with one choice
just one word
with the power to alter everything

Thought

Death happens to you
You're not a failure if you're scared

A lifetime

Why is it so difficult to be seen
I crave the glimmer of understanding
The Ray of light
That is your eyes
When you say my name
Your voice a tender Melody of acceptance

Thank you for seeing me
I can only hope to meet more humans like you
In my lifetime

Forgotten

I want to write like Ellen Bass
morphe every word into a memory
your heart feeling mine
the painful past confined
to beautifully written lines
of poetry
to be read, and forgotten,
by us both

?

I am breaking apart once more
feels like this never ends
when will I feel whole again?

stolen car

do you steal because you have to
or because you want more
more money
more possessions
more status
survival is hard already
this will only make it harder on you

walk a straight path and doors will open
fall into traps of crime and greed and all the darkness will soon
overcome the light

I know you won't see these words
but I need them out into the universe
stealing will not help you live happier
the money will not alleviate any burden on your soul
please find it in yourself to seek forgiveness from this life
because I truly hope you find it
from experience, I know karma can really sneak up on you
and I just hope you and your loved ones
dont have to hurt

I Worry

I Worry because
My reflection
Is a woman I find weak
Some say worry is a mental wobbling
The hesitation before making a choice

How can I let this happen
Watch
As my Worry lives my life without me
