POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Lots of things don’t make sense. I’m things :)
I Wish
Someday I want to wake up
Invisible
Or maybe invincible
Either would be nice
Invisible
Or maybe invincible
Either would be nice

It Is What It Is
I hate being on this rollercoaster
I don’t like the drops
I don’t like the climbing
Why can’t I just stay at standstill?
I don’t like the drops
I don’t like the climbing
Why can’t I just stay at standstill?

Quiet And Loud
I don’t quite know myself yet
I don’t think anyone ever knows the full extent
Of their true being
No matter how long they have been on
This earth
But what I do know
Is that I am happy
And proud
I can be wholly and undeniably me
I’m so grateful for everything.

So Much To Do
Yesterday was easy
Today is hard
That’s just how it is.
Today is hard
That’s just how it is.

I Am My Own Person
But just watch as I walk away
Watch how the eggs you throw
Don't crack when they hit my body
Watch how I have realized
Love is not blood.
Love is support
Love is happiness
Love is what I feel for myself
Still for you too
But
I have finally realized my worth
Watch how I walk away so so free, darling.
Watch how the eggs you throw
Don't crack when they hit my body
Watch how I have realized
Love is not blood.
Love is support
Love is happiness
Love is what I feel for myself
Still for you too
But
I have finally realized my worth
Watch how I walk away so so free, darling.

A Love Letter (To Everyone I Love And Hate)
They don't like what I'm doing
Who I'm becoming
nose rings and tattoos
and she's a lesbian?
god the horror!!
But the funny thing is
I've never felt more like me
I am becoming who I should have had the courage to become
I have the courage to not care what the fuck you think
I have the courage to walk past your judgment
Your stupid sticks and stones
You may love me
But you don't love me
Who I'm becoming
nose rings and tattoos
and she's a lesbian?
god the horror!!
But the funny thing is
I've never felt more like me
I am becoming who I should have had the courage to become
I have the courage to not care what the fuck you think
I have the courage to walk past your judgment
Your stupid sticks and stones
You may love me
But you don't love me

I AM ALIVE
I finally switched to Spotify
And I finally hung out with the people
Who actually love me
I bought myself a fake nose ring
Because I can’t get a real one yet
And I bought green trinkets
And nail polish
Green is the best color.
And I bought myself flowers
And a stuffed animal
From my favorite childhood show
I didn’t put them on my desk and pretend
Someone else got them for me
I know I’m cared for
I have the love I need
And I finally hung out with the people
Who actually love me
I bought myself a fake nose ring
Because I can’t get a real one yet
And I bought green trinkets
And nail polish
Green is the best color.
And I bought myself flowers
And a stuffed animal
From my favorite childhood show
I didn’t put them on my desk and pretend
Someone else got them for me
I know I’m cared for
I have the love I need

Far Gone
I may not remember what color your eyes are
And the last time we spoke
But I do remember
The way your eyes crinkle when you smile
And the last time we spoke
But I do remember
The way your eyes crinkle when you smile

No Silence
How do you sleep so well at night?
I don’t
I mean, I do
But I also wake up dripping
Over some nightmare or dream
That faded away as soon as I saw
My blankets in front of me
I sleep well
Until I don’t
I don’t
I mean, I do
But I also wake up dripping
Over some nightmare or dream
That faded away as soon as I saw
My blankets in front of me
I sleep well
Until I don’t

Crying Over My Own Gifts
I leave my own books, trinkets, flowers
That I bought for myself
On my bed
Or my desk
And pretend someone else got them for me
I think I just want someone to care for me
That I bought for myself
On my bed
Or my desk
And pretend someone else got them for me
I think I just want someone to care for me

Let Me Stay In Bed
I love life
I love living
But there are days
When it feels like my shirts are choking me
And everything my eyes land on
Has me questioning if it could hurt me
If I could use it
When I physically can’t function
And I snap at everyone
Because if you talk to me
I won’t listen
I’m too busy trying to deal
With the voices in my head
I don’t have energy to change my clothes
Or shower
Or brush my hair
I’ve been fighting
My teeth have been gritted ...

We Aren't Even Together
The smallest things
Are the most intimate
The pressure of your hands on my waist
The light tapping of your fingers on my head
The brush of your hair on my shoulder
Your eyelashes soft against my cheek
Your hot-breath sighs tickling my knee
I’ve never known romantic love from you
Yet I feel it so intensely
Are the most intimate
The pressure of your hands on my waist
The light tapping of your fingers on my head
The brush of your hair on my shoulder
Your eyelashes soft against my cheek
Your hot-breath sighs tickling my knee
I’ve never known romantic love from you
Yet I feel it so intensely
