gone
The text.
“He's gone. Bens gone”
In my hopes you feel no pain
I don't know how to quite cope
It's such a weeping shame.
Is it real or is it fake, something i'll always contemplate
The distasteful comments on the post
There’s no way to get any sides
Instead i talk to your ghost
As the tears drip down my face, deep down i know you're in a better place
I wish life treated you better
For now my heart will shatter
I promise we'll send you letters
As your son will be protected, for I know he'll be...

wishes
i wish i was better
i wish i could wake up in the morning with thoughts of what a beautiful day it’s going to be.. why?
why can’t i think like that? why is it i wake up everyday to these taunting words screaming at me in the back of my head
i don’t wanna get up i’d rather lay in bed
the thoughts and emotions circling like a tire
my mind feels like a huge bonfire
i know i need to get better but where do i start
it’s been so long i forgot what it’s like to feel in my heart
my emotions shut down as i drove around town with a frown
i want to...

mind maze
my mind is like a maze.
one second you’re headed down the right path but then bam there’s a wall.
why is this one so hard to escape.
i’m getting claustrophobic.
my hands are shaking
my palms are sweaty
i can feel my heart about to jump out of my chest
i’m scared
now i’m so worked up i can’t tell if my breath is the same as before
i get nervous soon starting to cry
what’s happening
why am i so scared right now
i’ve been doing good it’s been months
my mind starts speaking
not speaking.
screaming.
these...

“flower fields”
decision making is hard. When your surrounded by a field of flowers and yet all you seem to be drawn to is that one rose.
there’s a magnolia right next to it but you aren’t sure if you’re as interested.
you walk to the rose with an angelic glaze in you’re eyes.
you pick it and at first nothing goes wrong until you stopped looking at it.
you then became blind and seemed to not notice all the thorns that were pricking into you’re fingers
you drop it in sincere shock but seem to pick it back up again in hopes maybe those thorns won’t be so sharp again.
they...

Family doesn’t always have to be blood
safe, supported, reassuring, exciting.
just few of many things my “friends” have made me feel.
growing up i’ve never been shown any of those,
even in school i hung around the wrong people for a long time.
my group now let me tell ya,
they are the ones who have taught me the family isn’t always blood.
the ones who’s showed me a home isn’t alway a roof a four walls,
the ones who have made me feel like a somebody in a world of nobody’s.
Now i know this may not be one of those poems that rhyme but id definitely like to make it an appreciation piece. ...

No
A simple word.
No
Repeated a million times over but you seem to not hear
The weight to heavy
Too intoxicated to move.
My heart races as I know what's going to happen.
My hands trembling with tears in my eyes.
The hickeys the next day and the questions of “was it fun”
No. but i can't say that so with that knot in my throat and smile on face
“Oh yeah you know it”
October 26th 2020.
A night that left me half empty.
No

if you hated me
it’d be easier if you hated me.
if you didn’t hold me closer as i’m breaking down inside
if you didn’t kiss me and tell me it would be okay.
to hate me
to walk away from me and not speak again
to throw rocks at the mirror in my heart till it breaks
but that’s far from you.
even when i try to hate you instead
i feel those hands that wrap around me getting tighter as my tears fall onto that black sweatshirt
as my throat clenches trying not to let it all out onto you.
as those lips fall onto my forehead
my mind disconnects from my heart ...
