It's been too long.

My heart
Ignited
Simply by the
Sight.

Capable of
Holding my breath
Until they
Bring
Back the shape of
Yesterday, but...

Dreams like these
Often
Just drift too far
Away.

Bitch did you just fart on my carrot/orange Jamba juice?

Now how the fuck am I supposed to wash this dry ass waffle down?

I have to be at work in 15 and you fucked my breakfast up

I'm about to air this bitch out

And I don't mean roll down the window

Mom was right about you

(2020)

Memories of
Yesteryear.

No smiles locked
Under masks. No
Time to
Sink into my thoughts.

I keep telling myself
Things would be better without
Covid as if I'd magically know
How to love.

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

Making friends
Online to
Distract myself from the
Unwanted urges to
State my feelings

Opening up but you
Pry too hard feigning
Empathy and ultimately
Regret
Asking why I
Never
Dated anyone after
Immodesty incarnate

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

Instant gratification.

Why favor
Actions that
Never pay you on
Time?

Feast on the fruit
Under the tree. Its
Nectar as sweet as
You dream it to be.
Unceasing anxiety for those
Near the top. Solely because
Some dreams never stop.

Growing up

When I was younger I fought for the love of my family,
now…
I fight to love myself whether they do or don’t,
at the end of the day I try to heal the broken child inside,
the one that believed they didn’t deserve love,

when they did…

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

My life is a haze,
a routine
a cycle
a loop
I can’t understand how it got to this,

my life a rhythm,
a pattern
a series
a rotation

the same never ending day and night

stuck

on

repeat.

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

I used to tip over at the slightest breeze
now the wind won’t move me
the leaves may be full and green
but to me theyre brown and withered

I want to cry on a stage
to remind you of humanity
because some seem to have lost it
it’s not all virtual
no matter how much you want it

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

I go back and forth between who I am and who I should be,
this image people keep saying this person is me,
yet others say the complete opposite. It makes me question who am I truly. It’s hard to find the balance when you dream of someone completely different than both parties.

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

Why is it the your hand on my cheek that reminds me it’s okay to be the way I am?
In a web of secrets, between the sheets, breathing in the same air.
Acting as if we’re strangers when it’s always been more…

@costco_member worry not my child

“last night”
i see your comfort
start to slip away
my last night in the city
final oath to mend
meet me in the forest
on skyscrapers of foliage

sweaty hands
short notice
it was hot out
thats why
and nervous
but with purpose

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

I have run out of places to hide,
my mind betraying me again.
Back pressed against the wall,
no energy left to fight.
To feel trapped in this corner,
the corner of my mind.
Where I am stuck watching,
everything playing on a loop...
Where I can’t do a single thing,
but to watch..

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

You’re the giant on this anthill
kick them down still
think they laugh still?

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

“hollow”

my words are hollow
my words can’t go through
your words are hollow
you never mean what you say

i wish i could go back in time
tell myself it’s alright
but it’s too late
my words are hollow

and so are yours
it can’t be helped
20 + years
and i can’t be helped

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

sickly figures travel the interstate
where do they go
no destination awaits
their frozen fingers shatter at the simple thought of fire
can’t take it no more take me out my sweet desire
i’m over the pressure
not depression though
that will stick with me
till it’s time to go

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

“Playing”
I remember allowing you to use me,
with the intend I’d use you too.
Instead I was used as a toy,
leaving my emotions behind,
being thrown aside once playtime was over,
the intentions were done.
I laid there thinking it didn’t matter,
when I knew what this was.

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

“spirit”

i am not an evil spirit
you are one
i am kindred

i worry i’ll hurt you
can the wolf be with a sheep?
i’m worried i’ll be too absent
if not for that, i’ll be too much

you are not an evil spirit
i am one
you are kindred

[Poem Cumpilation @PoemCumpilation]

Like the gloom that’s in your eyes
No, not alright
I gave my heart to Alison
And she never got to know
I spent two years in madness
Shortly after things took a turn
I thought I found my lucky star
Shining bright, despite the sun
Soon, she dwarfs
Now I hold pictures, expired
