Live long enough
and we end up alone
No matter our fortune
no matter our throne

Life will have sway
as our journey unwinds
One breath at a time
— our voices unrhymed

(Augustinian Seminary: July, 2025)
I don't write
For you,
Normal
Love obsessed
Average
People.

I write for the
Malcontent
Who could never
Really fit in.

The ones where
Life didn't get better,
It got worse.

Someone who
Can relate
To constant negativity.

And,
I find them,
I always find them.

We declare
A niggling doubt
That your positivity,
Is tenuous at best,
While we are consumed
By dark
Thoughts.

Traumatic
Life events.

A dismal dark
Alley way to be
Our bed.

Drugs
And
Violence.

Your problem
Is you wanna see a reflection
Of yourself in other people.

You are,
Entitled.

You are,
Fragile.

You are.
Annoying.

No one even asked
Your *******
Opinion
Or
Approval.

I am exclusive,
Rare,
And nothing
That's available
Or relatable.

Is valuable.

People are beautiful
Not in the way they look
Not in what they say
In just the way they are.
Everyone  should have someone like that in their life.
peyton 6d
My tired eyes,
a mix of grey and blue,
theyve grown so tired of all the lies.

oh if only you knew,
oh if only you saw.

saw the damage youve done to me,
you make it seem like i must follow your every law.
if i dont, youll just leave me alone.
youll just leave me be.

you say you love me,
tell me,
what does love even mean to you?
this is an older poem i wrote abt a hard time in life when my parents/ex bf made me feel like everything i did was wrong

Bruno, we gave him harlem
Y.A school put me up in the bed with the chiques causeways and her baby troubles

I kneel with brown
Raisins in black hands
Walk it out
It's when I need the words
The most that they get jammed
In the back of my throat like
I just swallowed a nail and
The rusted point rips my gullet
As I spurt it up with congealed blood.

It's when I need the words
The most that my entrails
Wind like a python round my
Lungs and squeeze them tight
Until they burst.

It's when I need the words
The most that my eyes swell
And drip — red and sore — until
I swallow and forget.

It's when I need the words
The most. Then, I look and
See there is nobody.

It's when I need the words
The most.

It's when I need the words
The most.
So much sleeping
Grey day blues
