stand still.
rest your breath here.
remember what you are—
a starseed visitor on earth.
stand still.
stop rushing yourself to find worth.
you are priceless right here.
worthy right here.
stand still.

Light, light is warm
As the sun nurse us
But for light
It's all dark
Yes like time.
Every life must die

The longer I stand
At the edge of the cliff
I cannot tell
If the sign reads
“Caution”
Or
“Welcome”

And it's funny,
As I stand here
Bent over this sink
With tears streaking
All down my face
And my ribs are so sore
As I ***** some more,
That I think of you
You're disgusting, my dear.

Dad
With just a few words
you crush me to smithereens
taking and taking without giving
anything in return
Even as something in my chest
collapses
Even as I feel my walls crumble
nothing can halt the sting of hurt
that follows you
You handle words like a double-edged
blade
a prodigy in the art of inflicting
pain
Spitting acid into the air between
it collects beneath my flesh and
eats away at me from within
So I summon shields of wintery smiles
and icy eyes
in the futile hope it will ensconce
bandaged bruises
I make myself stand tall before you
unflinching
unrelenting
and unexpecting.

Dad, you can be so hurtful.

Today
the sun showed me
my value
I shone
like a precious
stone
standing
alone

where do time has gotten into you?
of words you spell
in front of your mouth
urging and letting it go,
sway you
to letting it out
to make it as sugary as a honeybee
of incomparable sights
that only come across your mind.
where do time conflict you?
in pursuing the right things
or just being stuck so easily
of picking yourself in a tiny room
that’s just persuade by you,
and you’re fine with it
even if you aren’t being with yourself
anymore,
you can’t even stand for yourself
and it’s okay for you
to feel that way
even if it’s not really okay.
speak for your words
don’t be too shallow by
others perspective.

you left me standing
alone
in the twilight of it all
you vanished in the mist
in the hurt
of everything
you left me standing
alone

No government,
No harsh intent-
Rock hard words
Become intimate.
No authority,
No center of peace-
No hate,
No mistakes,
No ******,
No ****.
No inequalities-
No more mouths to feed…
And it sounds like a joke
When I think of
The world as perfect.
Is it even worth it
If it’s not built to last?
