her
voice alone
drives me
to tears, i'm crying
in my mom's bedroom,
holding an ancient phone
and a slip of paper my
therapist gave me,
a number to call if
i felt the world was too
much, and it was.
she asks me too many questions.
the first line stanza is inspired by Rupi Kaur.

i am scared of the night
because i'm afraid
i'll become it

Our mother
she pleads and burns.

us,

heretic's
of old blaming

out

each other
like cookie jar

thieves

while she bleeds
the very last

drop

and we all
just walk through it

leaving...

morning glory
sometimes,
a little sliver of light
is more than enough
to chase the demons
away.
never lose faith. we can save ourselves.

i thought love only existed in hollywood movies,
and then life, but in life, everything
*****

i guess i was drawn to the parts you
hated about yourself, maybe because
i know how to pick them

halsey sung that she liked the bad
guys, and then i wrote this poem
and she took it back

i have the power of a thousand hurricanes
i am a pair of worn out doc martens
i am the armageddon

and men don't know ****
i ain't a trap queen, but i don't
fear ****

i could love the entire seven billion,
and no one would be like
you

but when you look at me
i see nothing but your eyes
when you leave me

luv
red
you walk
the earth
so gracefully
it is almost
as if you are
an extension
of it.

every move
you make is
so rythmic.
every step,
every breath,
every heartbeat.

you know
how to entice
the mind and
the body,
like an art
you have down
to a science,
like a means
of survival.

you slip on
heels and stand
tall, shoulders back,
chin up, like a soldier,

you wear
winged eyeliner
like war paint.

you exist
in complete
fearlessness.

you know
yourself as
an unstoppable
force.

you know
that you own
the world when
you dance.
