I am not sure why I often struggle with writing ‘right’ when I constantly tell myself that I don't write for other people's concurrence. But as Picasso said “The chief enemy of creativity is ‘good’ sense,” I have grown to learn that my creative medium is not black or white, good or bad. Instead, it is a middle ground, imperfect, and depicts me and my complex thoughts. Perhaps that is why poetry brings me joy. It is an escape from reality. Nobody craves perfection like it is the only thing that makes it valuable.

i hate math
but i have become einstein at calorie counting
my toxic relationship with food i guess

this nation, fabricated upon their broken spines,
yet still, they gait on fragmented glass.
besought for their valedictory draught,
before the lynch with a knee,
"THUGS"
you, merely afraid,
"looting starts, shooting starts"
to resist the monster of your own making

for ecstasy
laid as erstwhile reminiscence,
new dawn brims of
rhapsodic agony, acute misery,
yet hope, a concept I am foolish to believe,
shines through bars of the plight
screaming 'remember'
Happiness leaves traces of where it has been

for my heart has been starved of love,
my body has become starved of food
only skinny girls find love

for the pain I bear is too grim,
the heart no longer breaks,
it ruptures
One common symptom of coronary artery disease is angina, which causes pressure in your chest that can involve burning or numbness. They say it is because your heart does not get enough blood or oxygen I say it is because it has been hurt too many times.

the world is playing tricks on me
the never-ending flag from the magicians' hat
