Dear Daughter
Dear Daughter
If I could make a wish for you
I would wish that you chase your dreams
I would wish that you would climb any mountain, break down any wall, if it means you accomplish what you want most.
If I could make a wish for you
I would wish you love. I would wish you the deepest, most pure form of love. I would wish that you love without apology, without fear. I would wish that you love relentlessly and selflessly, because my dear daughter, that is the love that makes the world go round.

True Love Discovered
One moment
One moment was all it took
The test came back positive
My life changed forever
In one moment
Nine months later
I hold you while you sleep
Awake with the moon
Exhausted
So....exhausted
But your perfect face
Hand crafted by the gods
Your hair, tickles my arm
Like the wind dances upon my skin
Your eyes
So bright
Full of wonder
Full of light
Your lips
Part slightly as you dream
Your ears
So tiny hear everything
10 perfect fingers
10...

Scream
I want to scream,
I want to yell from the mountain tops,
expelling from me the pain
the pain that you bestowed upon me
not with my permission,
I want to stand upon the highest tower
I want to feel the anger that stirs deep inside my soul
be released...
be released upon the rest of the world
let the anger pour out like words left unspoken.
I am tired of feeling like this,
feeling so obsessed,
like the only way to release what I am feeling
is to wage a war against myself
wage a war on my skin with only but a razor as...

Nate
Wheredo i begin, you ripped open my body and stole what belonged to me. You stole my innocence. You stole my self-worth. You took from me what could never be reclaimed. My label as 'someone who has never been raped' i went from the three of four girls to the one out of four girls who will be raped within their lifetime.
But this isn't about you anymore, this will not be about you, this will be about me.
I am angry. I have unresolved gut-wrenching issues because of what YOU did to ME. Don't tell me everything happens for a reason, because there is no reason for anyone to go through...

Carousal
waves crashing in
submersing all in its path,
overtaking my life
similar to the way death conquers all,
barely breathing
yet my heart manages to keep beating,
when does the world stop
when can i get off,
this carousel never stops spinning
and life never stops turning,
in these moments of despair
when I can't find a reason to care,
I remember why
because dying is easy
it's life that is hard.

Beautifully Painfully Honest
Scars reach for the ground like lightning striking home.
A busted can of biscuits falling to the floor
20 years of abuse, misuse, and neglect
causing tears to run
and eyes evade.
How can someone love something so terribly beautiful?
Stretch marks measuring the number of times I've created love,
little balls of love hiding away for months
until finally delivered after hours of pain,
into this cruel world of political dispute,
gender roles,
and beauty standards.
Unable to live up to them
despite the starvation of...

Let's Be Honest
Writing, typing, expressing, feeling.
Never really saying anything at all.
Screeching words and bleeding thoughts.
Mask is fading,
Truth is cascading
around us all
Too plugged in to pay attention.
We are killing each other in the streets,
We are trying to discover the new big thing.
Bombs are flying,
people are dying.
Can't you hear me?!
Reading the events but who really cares?
Didn't you see Kendell Jenner's new hair?
We own NAKED and Sephora
Bugatti and Lambos
Got the hottest mixed tape.

Satire for the bored
Reach deep within the depths
Beyond the shallow points
Past the light of the unknown
Go against the natural current
And search....unafraid.
Ye to all the brave and curious
The slightly misunderstood
The invisible. I call you to the table of life
Drink the words unspoken but highly discussed
And know you are not alone
Search for a new beginning
Search for a new life
We shall provide a welcoming grasp
Drink from the wisdom we provide and allow yourself to be blindly led
They call this game politics.

You
Flowing through my heart
The need to describe it all
The necessity for the words I need
At the tip of my pen
The tip of the world
Still held within
My inspiration was stalled
Until I tried again
My heart was slowing
My need was growing
My anxiety flying
Until I got you
The need to describe it all
The necessity for the words I need
At the tip of my pen
The tip of the world
Still held within
My inspiration was stalled
Until I tried again
My heart was slowing
My need was growing
My anxiety flying
Until I got you

Literature's subjective--choose your title
Sing sweet lullaby
Sing sweet
Put me to sleep
Graceful melody
Heartfelt sorrow
Lifted by power
Vocals so low
They make you high
I play softly in the wind
Unguided
A ghost
Swing sweet lullaby
Journey to the higher sky
Lost in touch
There is no light
Please don't put me to sleep tonight
Monsters hide beneath your voice
I hear you scream sweet agony
Crawling beneath your words
Lay with me
Sing sweet alibi
I didn't kill you
Not tonight
Sing sweet
Put me to sleep
Graceful melody
Heartfelt sorrow
Lifted by power
Vocals so low
They make you high
I play softly in the wind
Unguided
A ghost
Swing sweet lullaby
Journey to the higher sky
Lost in touch
There is no light
Please don't put me to sleep tonight
Monsters hide beneath your voice
I hear you scream sweet agony
Crawling beneath your words
Lay with me
Sing sweet alibi
I didn't kill you
Not tonight
