Poet Introduction
Hello. Poetry is one of the ways I’m best at communicating. All the poems I write are from personal experiences and battles I’ve gone through. I hope to relate to and or inspire readers.

Allowing myself to be free
There were times she felt like she was withering away, little by little day by day. Much like a flower drowning in the rain. Her tears seemed to fill the room.
She was fine, everyone would assume.
But they all knew about the things she'd do to herself, in her room.
When everything became too much,
to her skin with razors she touched.
Her thoughts echoed all around, it was all she heard, not a single sound.
She often dreamt of better days, happier times in a better place.
She'd always pray for a kinder head space.
One...

I found myself when they left
You found some body new.
I found somebody too.
The spirit that you crushed when you walked out the door.
The broken little girl you left cying on the floor.
The woman who deserved the world, but you don’t love her anymore.
The pretty little flower you never had time to water.
“It’s already dead so why would you bother.”
Don’t say that you’re sorry cuz I wouldn’t believe you.
Don’t ever come back cuz I’ll never need you.
I spent all my time picking up the pieces that you left behind.
While you found...

Dissociation
I lost conciseness,
but I was still awake.
It wasn’t really me.
I wasn’t really there.
I remember watching,
but I wasn’t in control.
I was lost inside my mind.
Nothing could make me feel more alone.
but I was still awake.
It wasn’t really me.
I wasn’t really there.
I remember watching,
but I wasn’t in control.
I was lost inside my mind.
Nothing could make me feel more alone.

The webs you weave
Tears flooded my face,
as I watched you walk away.
Everything changed that day.
As I closed the door,
gripping the handle as my knuckles turned white.
I didn’t sleep at all that night.
In fact I can’t remember the last time I felt well rested,
the pain has always persisted.
I tried to convince myself of my worth,
but I was lost and the demons insisted,
on a different solution.
When you left I was drowning in the pollution of it all.
I never felt so small.
I felt my...

Everything changed that day.

Misunderstood black bird
I am a black bird.
I am misunderstood.
They say you will never fly.
But I’ve seen the sky before.
They say you will only fall,
But I’ve gotten up before.
I can do anything.
I have my own wings.
So I’m cutting your strings.
You never believed that a black bird like me,
could fly.
But watch and learn,
because some day I will soar through the sky.
I am misunderstood.
They say you will never fly.
But I’ve seen the sky before.
They say you will only fall,
But I’ve gotten up before.

More than meets the eye
I might be a bright star in the darkness of night,
but I’m dying while you only see the light.
There’s more to me than meets the eye.
I might be a flower beautiful and sweet,
but that doesn’t mean I’ve never felt defeated.
I might be a mountain of rocks standing tall,
and you might assume I’ve never felt small.
But I’ve seen rock bottom.
I felt it all.
I might be an ocean crashing against the shore,
and you’d think I’ve never drowned before.
But inside me there are predators,
like I’m fighting a war....
but I’m dying while you only see the light.
There’s more to me than meets the eye.
I might be a flower beautiful and sweet,
but that doesn’t mean I’ve never felt defeated.
I might be a mountain of rocks standing tall,
and you might assume I’ve never felt small.
But I’ve seen rock bottom.
I felt it all.
I might be an ocean crashing against the shore,
and you’d think I’ve never drowned before.

One love turned into war
You always promised,
that you stand by me.
They say if you love someone to set them free,
but yet your still here,
haunting my memories.
Why won’t you,
please just let me rest my weary heart,
the one that’s still torn apart.
You’re moving on with your life,
while I’m feeling lost inside.
It isn’t fair how things ended,
We went through war and you’re not even winded.
You found someone new to love,
and my head is still spinning.
I’m done with the grief and doubt,
you had it...
that you stand by me.
They say if you love someone to set them free,
but yet your still here,
haunting my memories.
Why won’t you,
please just let me rest my weary heart,
the one that’s still torn apart.
You’re moving on with your life,
while I’m feeling lost inside.
It isn’t fair how things ended,
We went through war and you’re not even winded.
You found someone new to love,
and my head is still spinning.
I’m done with the grief and doubt,
you had it...

We all matter!
I feel peace,
but it’s only for a moment.
In the silence,
everything comes into focus.
All the doubts,
begin to pull me under.
You may look at me and say,
“what’s wrong with her,
I wonder?
She looks just fine.”
But there is so much more to people on the inside.
We face demons no video game could ever duplicate.
We fight battles that never have an end date.
We feel things some people can’t reciprocate.
We are more than just skin and bones.
Some of us...
but it’s only for a moment.
In the silence,
everything comes into focus.
All the doubts,
begin to pull me under.

Dead end
Im hanging on by a thread,
feeling like it would stop the hurt if I were dead.
Laying in my bed,
waking up with dread.
Same demons,
putting voices inside of my head.
Just like momma said,
she can’t be your friend.
Stuck at a dead end,
it’s a lose lose;
I can’t win.
feeling like it would stop the hurt if I were dead.
Laying in my bed,
waking up with dread.
Same demons,
putting voices inside of my head.
Just like momma said,
she can’t be your friend.
Stuck at a dead end,
it’s a lose lose;
I can’t win.

Alive but not living, yet.
A lifeless body of someone I loved laid down to rest.
They said to move on,
at least try your best.
But they forgot to mention,
they had rules for letting go.
If you’re sad,
don’t let it show.
If you’re mad,
just let it go.
Simple enough, isn’t that right?
But it doesn’t help me sleep at night.
If I’m hurting I shouldn’t have to fight it.
Denying it,
isn’t a solution.
It’s like filling my body with pollution.
And I was drowning,
right in front...

God is the only one to judge
Voices in my head,
Say that I’m better off dead.
But I’m too scared to die.
I don’t want to say goodbye.
I just dont want to hurt.
Anymore.
I want to be seen by the people I love.
I want to be enough.
But I’m not.
Not for them.
I want to take this painful experience and allow it to create something beautiful.
I know in my heart that my worth is provable.
But not for them.
For me.
I know I can be a better version of myself.
Life...

A longing to be loved
Mom is beautiful.
And dad is strong.
I know that’s where I get it from.
But, I don’t want to be them.
Wearing scars on my wrist like break crumbs.
They never even noticed them.
Refused to acknowledge that I was broken.
Always happy is what they’re hoping for.
But people are made for more.
I don’t wanna loose them.
But they don’t want me when I’m numb.
They don’t love the person that I’ve become.
They’re apart of me, whether they like it or not.
Who I am was developed by what I was taught.
