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.

Thank them for the love and forgive them for the trauma
I’m always coming to the rescue.
Fighting through my pain just to save you.
But in the end who saves the hero?
Your battles are won and mine are zero.
So when the world is quiet and you’re sound asleep.
I’m trying to find room for all these secrets I keep.
I’m in therapy.
My whole family,
Says that I need to be.
But they never check in on me!
So what Is the point in caring so much,
When end the end I’m never enough.
Even for the ones who raised me.
I guess thats the way it was destined to...

Punished for your blindness
I’m an emotional person,
I wish I felt like I had a purpose here.
There’s always something going on with me,
Physically or mentally.
Whats wrong with me?
What is the point in preparing for war,
If I never receive what I’ve been fighting for?
I’ve always believed happiness is worth chasing,
But I’m starting to feel that I need replacing.
I’m so tired, but I’ve been trying my best.
I wish the world would stop so I could rest.
I’ve spent my life always spreading kindness,
I’ve been punished...
I wish I felt like I had a purpose here.
There’s always something going on with me,
Physically or mentally.
Whats wrong with me?

I wish the world would stop so I could rest.
I’ve spent my life always spreading kindness,
I’ve been punished...

You are an overcomer
When fear creeps up and panic sets in.
Remember to find the strength within.
I know you feel like you can’t breathe.
I know you’re afraid you might not see,
the brighter side.
I know that you are terrified.
But fear needs to be set free,
Not in a permanent place inside of your mind.
I understand that the world gets dark.
Just remember to listen to your heart.
Fear comes from your mind,
It’s a way for you to know wrong from right.
But you have the knowledge and strength to overcome.
You...
Remember to find the strength within.
I know you feel like you can’t breathe.
I know you’re afraid you might not see,
the brighter side.
I know that you are terrified.
But fear needs to be set free,
Not in a permanent place inside of your mind.
I understand that the world gets dark.
Just remember to listen to your heart.
Fear comes from your mind,
It’s a way for you to know wrong from right.
But you have the knowledge and strength to overcome.
You...

He thinks he has everybody fooled
Hey darling you’re pretty cute.” He says with his smooth southern charm.
“He’s sweet, what is the harm?” They say with confusion on their faces.
“I’m glad you had that experience with him.” Is all I said as my heart races.
When backs are turned and ears are far, he tries his best to tear me apart.
Just knowing he is in the same building sends shivers down my spine and my anxiety is off the charts.
“He’s a good man!” They say urging me to give him a chance.
What they don’t know is, this would be the 3rd time and I refuse to...

The Ink was spilt
I’ve missed writing.
I miss the way the words flow from my mind into the ink on the page.
Some days I feel like I’m just another actor on this stage.
The stage that we call life.
Some of us were taught to be kind,
others were raised to carry a knife.
As if they’re sending us into battle.
Kindness is a nice gift but it doesn’t protect me from harm.
What do I do when someone is grabs my arm?
Say please let go?
Sometimes I feel like I can’t stand on my own.
He’s tall and bulky.
Look at me.
I’m short...

Jackal and Hyde
Who are you?
You say “I need you.”
Is this fake or is this true?
Now you say “I don’t want to be with you.”
Who are you?
Are you going to be cruel or kind?
Feels like im talking to jackal and Hyde,
Never knowing who is really on the inside.
I never know if I should stay or hide.

I was deceived
They have a group chat and out of everyone I’m singled out.
Why am I always under attack?
Like I have a target on my back.
Maybe It’s something I have or is it something that I lack?
I work hard to make others smile,
But true happiness is something I haven’t personally felt in awhile.
The worst part is I don’t mind.
Spreading kindness is the best part of my life.
I just get tired of only gaining knives in my back.
I keep questioning my worth, as if its something that I lack.
I look in the mirror and again I am under...

Talking to a hypocrite
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m loosing my sense of direction.
Ive been craving some kind of connection.
Turning my face to the heavens for protection.
I’m afraid that you’ll never accept me.
In your eyes I’ll always remain unworthy.
When I don’t hear from you I get worried.
But when I don’t answer you go on carefree.
It’s hard for me to let go,
of someone I just want to hold me close.
But I realize It’s truly me that loves you most.
My therapist told me to write you a letter,
She said It would make me feel...

There's nothing I can do
He likes to lie and manipulate.
I’ll just sit back and watch him open his own flood gates.
He likes to deny and place all the blame on somebody else.
I’ll just sit back and watch him drowned himself.
He refuses to believe that he is at fault.
I’ll just sit back and watch him steal from his own vault.
He makes up his wounds and pretends to need stitches.
I’ll just sit back and watch him burn his own bridges.

Holding on to faith
How do people like him find vulnerable people like me?
This is why its hard to wear my heart on my sleeve,
But I refuse to remove it.
I believe someday I'll find someone who won't abuse it.

I chose my sanity over you
It felt like I was under water,
And you kept telling me to hold on and breathe.
But you stole the oxygen that I needed.
I didn't want to tell you the truth,
But there was no other way.
I wanted real love, but yours was fake.
You don’t treat me like I do.
You had a lot to prove.
And I had everything to loose.
And you kept telling me to hold on and breathe.
But you stole the oxygen that I needed.
I didn't want to tell you the truth,
But there was no other way.
I wanted real love, but yours was fake.
You don’t treat me like I do.
You had a lot to prove.
And I had everything to loose.

#Trauma Response
I’m sorry for things people say I shouldn’t apologize for.
But the same people look at me and say they expected more.
The same people are part of the reasons why I’ve had to pick myself up off the floor in the first place.
I’m sorry you feel that I’m such a disgrace.
I’m sorry I’m a disappointment.
I’m sorry you feel I’m not worth it, all the stress and bullshit that I cause.
I’m sorry I constantly feel like I’m not enough.
I’m sorry I can’t handle the tough love.
I’m sorry you feel the drama that comes with me and my trauma makes you...
