"you know, being able to grow with someone, or just being there watching someone grow is probably the closest explanation to love i've found during my very short time on earth."

"is it because it's a need? or a want?"

"it's neither i think. think of it like this, have you ever day dreamt about holding someones hand?"

"yes of course."

"what was that feeling, what made you prefer the dream to the day?"

"it's because i knew that it'd happen."

"there we go. because 'you knew'. all the love i've felt comes from the not knowing, or the knowing it'd never come, and to keep loving, even after the realisation, after the heartbreak, the pleading, bartering, sometimes there's just nothing you can do, but love without reciprocation."

"doesn't it hurt?"
"yeah. but love takes many forms. even if its not the one you want."
"i'm sorry."
"but i am not."
For anyone who feels like their love isn't meant to be,
its not to say you will never be loved.
maybe its because your type of love isn't meant to be.
but never stop growing.

put my poems
into a blender
to
swallow
my pride.

Take my feeling tongue
in your mouth.

tell it all the secrets you could never tell me.*

And Afterwards

all i will know
is the taste of
your unabashed tongue.

I find it funny
That you don't take me seriously
Until these words
Stain your phone screen
I feel that though
Because I could say anything
But if I write it then
You know it's real

Yes all lives matter
but not all lives
have been marginalized.
There's no right end of a gun
One dies and
another is shunned
One is black and the other is white
Can we stop
and stand
and fight
For ours, their's, everyone's
Equal
Rights.

This is not a discussion
about one man's arms
but of another man's life.

I've done it again.

I lost track of time and put myself before everyone.
I forced myself to look away because I knew it was true
I quickly became ashamed of what I'd become

I so easily turned into what I hated most
Someone who values her own opinion so much
That she is unafraid of hurting everyone
Someone who "loves" herself so much
That she tears people down
Someone that is too smart
Too intelligent, to discuss just exactly what the hell is her problem
Someone who is so broken
That she allows herself to shatter others

Someone that put up the famous walls
But couldn't break the 4th one.
Someone that lost touch with reality.

Someone that refused to admit it.
