realizing that i'm not the kind of person
that has people,
i'm the person that people have.
i'm not meant to be loved,
im meant to love.
i'm not meant to be supported,
im meant to be supportive.
Im not meant to be anything more
than the person who's there
when other people need them.
i'm the person who people only reach out to when they need someone
I'm convenient.
When truth and lie collide

only truth survives.
My mom worried about me
She wanted me to join a club
Make some friends
Relax and have some fun

Look ma, I finally joined one
It convenes at 3 AM
Every single day

All my friends are here-
Anxiety depression and trauma
Having a party in my head
I’d much rather believe
That you don’t see me
Than worry that
You do and choose not to
They say the first step to healing
Is loving yourself
I guess I’ve lost the battle
Before it could even begin
💍

She may walk like fire
and speak like wine,
but her lips
carry the ashes
of another man’s home.

Desire is not worth
the ruin you inherit.
No glory is found
in tasting
a betrayal
you didn’t earn.

🖤
Never sleep with another man’s wife. Some doors are locked for a reason. Kicking them open only brings ghosts.
I dedicate my days
to worshipping You
And writing sun-filled,
son-fuelled poetry.
To the One who gave me life again and gives me new life each morning, Amen.
