volcano breath
burst of energy

human bodies
crash

feel the force

explode
my ears

then my
soul

make me feel
everything

then make me
think

then make me
question

everything
and know that

nothing is
settled
Try to look insignificant sometimes

It empowers you!

The bridge

Dru
She was in troubled waters
She could not keep her head up
She fought
She was in despair
She asked if I could be her bridge
She cried, she begged
Yes, I said
I will be her bridge over the troubled waters
I will save her
Save her from the abusive relationship
Save her from emotional turmoil
But I always knew she'll walk off
Once she feels safe
No one stays on the bridge
I still did it.
I chose to be her bridge
I let her use me.
When we first met I’d write you love notes
Leave them scattered around your room.
When we first met I would stay up all night laughing, not yet tired from the lack of sleep.
When we first met every time you kissed me I could feel that you loved me then.
That was what seems like forever ago.

Love you so much,
Will miss you so much,
But no reason left to stay,
It's better to walk away.
Feelings were real for you,
Will keep all your memories,
But now no more play,
Ever you will remember. Say?
Take care of yourself,
Get back to your previous life,
Am going anyway,
For your good life, I'll pray.
"BUT NO REASON LEFT TO STAY."

Anxiety
Insecurity
Self hatred
Fueled by staying inside
By never seeing people
By wearing a mask

Full face
Half face
No face
Hide behind the cloth
The screen
The walls

Privacy
Intimacy
Fear
Leave me anonymous
Unseen
Invisible
I've developed extreme anxiety around publicly showing my face. It's gotten to the point I can't drive without a mask or go get my mail. All the mirrors in my house are covered. Seeing myself ruins my day.
I'm grateful
for
the heartbreak
because
it showed
me
we're not
meant
to be
together.
Fix You  - Coldplay
I can see it's too early
when it's too early to see
like
when the night is a plug
and it's plugged into me
and,
because and makes it go on
a bit longer
when you're drinking your tea
and
wondering what's wrong here,

it's Wednesday
nothing to see anyway.
