The Lucky one

You always say that
You got a second chance, but
I'm the lucky one.

Lying in Bed

Lying in Bed

I am thinking of you
As I lie in bed.
I think of you all day
But when it is dark
And I am alone
In my bed
Everything about you
Entices my brain
And I can't help but think about
How much I miss you
How much I love you
And how much
I wish you were here
Lying in bed
Next to me.

Don't Write to Please

Don't Write to Please

Don't write to please
Anyone
Except yourself
Because your words are meant for
You:
Your release
Your comfort,
Your healing;
Don't write to please
Anyone
Except yourself
Because you are the one
Who truly needs it.

The Victor

The Victor

Nothing is more relieving
Than being able to look you
In the eye
With my shoulders back
And my head held high.
Today
I did not tremble
When you walked through the door,
And in that moment I knew
You no longer have power over me.
You no longer have the power
To beat me down
Or make me feel inferior
Or make me feel worthless.
I am not afraid of you.
You may have won the Battles,
But I have won the War.

deep end

deep end

being with you
has made me realize that
i've already dove head first into the water
and now i'm in deep
and i've never been scared
of swimming in the deep end before
but suddenly i am
which made me realize
that i've never been much of a swimmer before
and now that i'm in
the water actually feels pretty nice

Censorship

Censorship

I am sick and tired of
Living in a world where
I censor my own thoughts
Subconsciously
Because I have been taught
To suppress
Because I have been taught
To put off what is bothering me
Until it piles on top of
A ticking time bomb
That is destined to explode
At any time
Without warning.
I am sick and tired of
Having so many thoughts Overwhelming my brain
And not being able to put them
Into words.
I am sick and tired
Of being so afraid to speak my mind
That I make it impossible.
Aren't you?

i miss you

Sep 2018 q

i miss you

i miss you
is sometimes not enough
and it's really hard to communicate how i feel
through a text message
so i think a poem will have to do
and i want you to know
that not a day goes by that i am not
so proud of you
so amazed by you
so lucky to call you my best friend
so sad that you are so far away
so when you tell me that you're sad
it kills me inside that i cannot give you a hug
and when i don't have time to call
i feel so bad
for me and you both
because i wish i didn't have to call
and i wish that you were just a drive down the road
like you used to be
and if i'm being completely honest
i don't think i'll ever get used to this
because i don't think there ever will be a time when
i miss you
feels like enough
