Poet Introduction
Writing is my therapy, my escape and one of the very few things in life that feels right to me.

Wrong
I'd like to look through your eyes and see all you saw
All the things about me that caused your strange thoughts
You never told me what I did or didn't do
So I want to look at things from your view
Would I side with you and agree that I appear too imperfect and unfit?
Would I see that letting me love you and you loving me had no benefit
Or would I stand strong and stick to knowing that you're wrong
That the assumption that I'd hurt you is logically flawed
You never looked at me for me and who I was
Instead you saw me through lenses of paranoid...

Snowstorms
Your reflection appears
In the weather outside my window
Snowstorms, where you dance
An apt floor for your feet
Mirroring elements
With bone chilling rhythm
Blades provide a smooth glide
While you slice and dice with poise
Hard hitting
Deceitful tenderness
White and soft
Flesh piercing cold
Musical elegance
And haunting melodic tunes
Guide knives towards their targets
Evil and quiet precision
Sweet sounds of smashed hearts fill the air
Move effortlessly to the beat
Traces of true image
bring you closer into view...

I talk to walls. They hold me up.
I learned how to build them too. But these ones that I talk to, they listen. And they inspire me with their strength.
I know if I crumbled they would brace me without judgment.
So I just talk.
Hello Wall,
It's funny how I seek you out to bounce thoughts off of you, yet crave not for my heart to echo.
I wonder what it's like to go through life not caring about anyone or anything but one's self. The idea appeals to me because it seems easier, freer in a sense. You can still have good enough friends and decent...

Shades
If I want to stand in my own light
And shine in it
Then I need to make myself more beautiful
Not to them, but to me
Then I can put forth who I am
With confidence and with certainty that I'll be okay
But since I want to continue presenting a true image
I've always known I had to design a beautiful way
So I've been creating shades
Ones to keep me warm and blanket me through troubles
To comfort me through struggles
To help me get out of these bubbles
To fuel my strength in doubles
I hope to be proud of what I've made
And maybe it's a...

When Dreams Aren't Safe
Safe places in the mind aren't always safe spaces
Even if you're consciousness is the one that makes them
Create an escape but that escape can be tainted
Can't always control who and what will invade it
Reality and fantasy entangle in blur
No way to know what's real, can't ever be sure
Upside down, backwards, a little forward then reverse
Trapped in a daze while wild emotions disburse
Scared of your own mind, almost terrified
A glimpse of light appears but walk towards it then it hides
A game of the darkness that no one asks to play
The more you try...
Even if you're consciousness is the one that makes them
Create an escape but that escape can be tainted
Can't always control who and what will invade it

Upside down, backwards, a little forward then reverse
Trapped in a daze while wild emotions disburse
Scared of your own mind, almost terrified

Blame
Hello Blame
I want you so much
Calling out for you, screaming
I'd give anything to find you
Please, stop cloaking
Just tell me where you hide
So I can lift this knife
From inside
Oh, fuck, Blame
I usually despise your presence
Because you fall on me
And crush me to the brim
It's hard to get you off
Because you seem to get off
Suffocating me
So it's ironic how now I need you to breathe
Tell me what I did wrong
And why I deserved this torture
Please, please justify it
Show me how to understand
You must...

Crazy Self Love
When I crave to feel beautiful
I just tell myself "you're beautiful"
So that way I can hear what it sounds like
To have those words directed at me
And when I listen to myself
A moment of warmth washes over me
When ever I'm dying to be loved
I bring my heart to life with reminders that I love me
Accompanied by soft tender touches
To accentuate its meaning
Because words need action
To gain the right reaction
If I'm feeling alone
I wrap my arms around myself in comfort
Whispering that I will be okay
With reassurance...

Reconstruction
You'll find me in the darkness
Giving up my sanity
Not losing it
But consenting to mental reconstruction
Ready to go out of my mind
If I can't stop this beating heart
Whenever it pumps blood
It only tears me apart
Let the blades lead to extraction
An irrational reaction
Keep my love and compassion in the lab
For those who need it but don't have it
Sense never was that common
It was with me
But there's not much use in being rare
Unless you like your emotions raw
And a little hard to digest
These tears will turn to acid...

Organ Donor
I've always known that what flows through my veins is love
That my heart pumps through me a different kind of blood
And they continuously say "it's in you to give"
I always believed that was the best way to live
And I used to be thankful that I could paint others in its colour
That it would help me see things most never cared to uncover
That it kept me with an open heart as well as an open mind
It never felt like effort to feel compassion or to be kind
But sometimes I get the feeling it's more of a pollution
Like perhaps I have been poisoned...

Stoned
Your stones never scared me
Even when things got rocky
I was always willing to brace the storm
Because I believed in what could be built
Stable foundations made of love
Liquid emotions turning solid
Thought feelings would be cemented
Each other's meaning set in stone
But you made your intentions known
In other concrete ways
Put up the blocks to leave me stonewalled
Hit me as hard as it takes
Watched this heart shatter to pieces
My crumbling fragments in clear view
I didn't know that you'd throw your stones at me
Till I turned...

Mind Trip
I want to vacate from myself
Because everything that currently surrounds me is not worth experiencing
All the thoughts I think
Emotions that I feel
There is no place for them anymore
At least it doesn't seem that way
And these dark clouds hovering over me are tiring
Their presence weighs me down but I can't shake them off
I've tried to fly but they won't let me go
They promise to collect me if I agree to turn to dust
And you would think that'd mean I'd perish
But they tell me that my fragments would be cherished
And because they...

Mindless State of Mind
You say I have a "smart" mind
Then how would you define
My thoughts?
I think of people who would
Never once think of me
I put others first knowing
That they would put me last
I feel emotions for things
That don't feel
I see light where there is
None to see
My imagination takes me places
That I can't go in reality
And you call this a smart mind?
I'm trapped within myself
Aching for some sense of freedom
That involves the feeling and thinking of nothing
Existing inside blank spaces
And never craving more...
