I’m tired of the surface
Where we find solace
Where we hide our truths beneath
Where we may never be freed
A wise man once said, “I’m tired of that fake ****.” Lol.

Disenchanted -- A Tanka
And with just one word,
I watched as my dreams crashed down,
unable to hold
when life's harsh realities
beat down on their fragile frames.

Love Story -- A Tanka
All I have ever
wanted is to have my own
love story... but I

My Own Fairytale -- A Tanka
Will I ever be
the main character of my
own story? Or will
I always be stuck on the
sidelines, lost in the dark?

the stars in the galaxy
i was the brightest

i only believed you when
i was the first to explode
"A supernova can shine as brightly as an entire galaxy of billions of ‘normal’ stars."

Visibly Blurry
Moonlight silhouette
Beneath the fitful, sour breeze
She tried to forget
The long journey of her scars
And danced with the ocean waves
