Jack is nimble
Jack is quick
Jack's made of ice
and he makes me sick.

With my night socks on
and a nightcap on my head
the only place to be is
tucked up in my bed.

do trees feel pain?
they shun the dark;
reaching for the light.

Naivete
in life
brings terror
to dreams

The psyche
wide open
a victim
to scheme

The innocent
notion
belief
to defile

Asleep
in the
nursery
—where monsters run wild

People say that
A soulmate is the one,
That thing that makes you feel alive

If true,

I think  I’m in love with coffee ☕️
I just love the way it smells and the way it tastes
For sure we’re meant for each other ;)

I used to be a kind soul
Now I am an eyesore
I used to be pink rose
fresh with lightness
Now I spread the dimness
Entrapped in darkness
Sharpening my thorns.
Illustrious visage
offering everything of your spectral body up
to the eyes of mortals.
A revenant memory,
poetry incarnate,
a heart of bliss testifying
through simple presence
the adversity of life
in her monstrous majesty.
It is you who
guides us
from one hollow to the next,
you who
tells a secret,
when cradled by the void.

Can we talk about the word trigger
Because people are dumb
Teenagers say they are triggered when
They don’t want to write a paper
They miss a goal in soccer
They drop their phone
That is called being annoyed or disappointed
That is not triggered

A trigger is an emotional allergy
Some that triggers distress or panic
A trigger is loud noises cause a panic attack
