I wish someone could take a flashlight
And illuminate
This void
So that maybe
I could see
That this
This isn’t a void at all
This is a storage unit

Cherish

Cherish

Take one breath at a time
Adorn each piece with a chime
Let hearts beat in sync
As feathers in air must sink!

Take one step at a time
Bless a beggar with a dime
For so do hearts entwine
Like broken glasses of wine!

Take one day at a time
Grace each line with a rhyme
For so do poems ferment
When pens and papers cement!*

Cherish every moment of life,
As it could be your last!

just

you looked at the woman's skin
it was clearly darker than yours
you felt annoyed for some reason
a person's color made you so upset
that you felt the weird need
to insult and yell at her
isn't it peculiar
how a certain color
can make you so angry
that you end up ruining
another human being's life

Little Details

if you open your eyes

and notice every little thing that happens

everything beings to become much more clear

and everything begins to make much more

I'm stuck.
Inside my head again
Each time on the edge
Of discovering why
I keep getting stuck
I’m lost once again
Once more thinking hard
While sleep eludes me again
I keep getting stuck
Wondering who I am
Wondering where I am
Wondering who the person in the mirror is
I remember being small
But it feels like those memories aren’t mine
I remember everything
About love about drugs about pain
I remember so much
Except who belongs to my name
I keep getting stuck
Jammed
Feet glued to the floor
Overwhelmed with sorrow
Disgust
Rage
And more
I keep forgetting
Who I am inside
Am I the packs of cigarettes
Empty bottles
Empty cans
Am I the twisted shell
Of a car once proud
Am I the cries
Of a girl
Abandoned by mommy
Wondering why forever
Mommy isn’t coming home
Am I the canisters
Lying on the floor
After a good few seconds
Of never wondering when the pain comes back
Am I really this girl
Who binge eats at night
Am I really this boy
That is scared to be mean
Am I really an adult
Out in the world
Never getting tired
Just blacking out
I can’t sleep
I can’t get tired
I can’t get a hold or a grip or a sight
I can’t peek through this tarp on my eyes
I keep getting stuck
In a hole in my head
I keep getting stuck
In a well in my heart
If I ever get out
Will I still wonder
Why I can’t remember who I am
And why I keep getting stuck

Dreading the closeness
I pulled and pulled away.
Never wanting to give in.
His warmth over powered my cold,
curling away, too shy to ask him to stay,
he covers me without warning.
I arch my back,
protesting,
fighting the light,
fighting with all my might,
to go back to my empty cave.
Going back to the normal.
Going back to who i am.

My walls are breaking.
The cave is crumbling.
The emptiness is filled.
His warmth covers my warmth.
His love covers my love.
No more fighting.
No more resisting.
No more rejecting.
No more cold.
No more empty.

Only Love.
Only him

Numb

I threw myself up against the wall
Because I needed to feel something.
I squeezed my eyes shut tight
                    Because
                      I needed your fingers in my hair,
          The weight of your thighs
                       On mine,
The tip of my minty tongue on your lip.
The quivering of your core and your breath
                        Tangled with my own
When I speak to you without words
and without sounds.
Because I needed
*To just feel.

LDR life.
