Poet Introduction
Lots of things don’t make sense. I’m things :)
Fight or Flight
I saw you
I wanted to run
But instead
I walked right past you
With my head held high
I’m taking my power back bitch.
I wanted to run

I walked right past you
With my head held high

I Have To See You Tomorrow
You need to get out of my head
I am haunted
By you
In my nightmares
I’m trying to be strong
To not be scared
But you are still there
I am haunted
By you
In my nightmares
I’m trying to be strong
To not be scared
But you are still there

Pretend
If I turn up my music
And I close my eyes
It’s not real
None of it is real.
And I close my eyes
It’s not real
None of it is real.

Try Me
Try.
Try to push me down.
Try to crush me under your boot.
I’ll stare at you with fire in my eyes
Until you realize
I will burn
I will burn so bright
No one will be able to ignore me
I will light the fire
It’s time for me to be the green fucking fire
Try to push me down.
Try to crush me under your boot.
I’ll stare at you with fire in my eyes
Until you realize
I will burn
I will burn so bright
No one will be able to ignore me
I will light the fire
It’s time for me to be the green fucking fire

I Will Be Seen
I feel so defeated
But I can't go down
You ruined so much for me
So l'll keep balancing these water buckets
On my shoulders
As I climb up the mountain
Because I will not let you, of all people, win.
But I can't go down
You ruined so much for me
So l'll keep balancing these water buckets
On my shoulders
As I climb up the mountain
Because I will not let you, of all people, win.

Don’t You Dare
I think I am tired
From all the standing up
I have a headache
My eyes are puffy
My throat is sore
But I’m not letting you drag me down again.

YOU f**kED ME UP
I finally told them
I spoke up
I’m not afraid anymore
I spoke up
I’m not afraid anymore

I Hope You Would
I’d know you
Just from your walk
From the curve of your bones
From the way your hair sits on your shoulders
I’d know you blind and deaf
Would you know me too?

Keep Going Please
some days
are long and lonely
tomorrow will be better
don’t stop writing

running
teaching
learning
hating
loving
suffering
living
just don’t

Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck
I just want to get out of my brain and hide under
the covers,
away from the monsters.

Fashionable Skeleton
People tell me I’m beautiful,
I understand I’m pretty and cute
and I have a nice body but sometimes
I look into the mirror and I can’t tell where my fingers start and my ribs end.
