Some days healing looks like crying, shaking, and still choosing not to go back. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying.. to be softer, stronger, and more mine than I’ve ever been. That’s the version of me I’m fighting for.
showing up outta nowhere just to poke the past?
newsflash.. I’m built to move forward, not rewind.
keep lurking, but you’ll never get a another chance.
maybe i’m not running from anything.
maybe i’m running toward the version of me who knows what they’re worth.
and if love finds me on the way?
they better know how to keep up. 😘

Thought I’d ghost, fade like a sigh,
but something fierce said give it a try.
Not healed, not whole, but ready to burn
queer fire’s call, now it’s my turn.
Packin’ my doubt with the boots I lace,
gonna meet the spark in a wilder place.
I’m not behind.
I’m beneath.
Something’s growing out of sight.
The world will call it sudden,
but I’ve been building it in lightless nights.
There’s fire in the quiet kind,
and I have only just begun.
Knocked on doors
I rang the bell
Wrote my words
I wished them well
But quiet halls
family names stay silent still
they play their games
So off I go
no need to stay
I’ve got my shoes
I’ve got my way
Some doors are blood
some doors are bone
Some doors are best left closed alone
I fall,
I fly,
I break,
I rise.
The winds of feeling carry me
I am not my fear.
I am not my pain.
I am the light that never leaves,
the sky that never ends.
You sat where I still stand,
Where my name is carved deep in fate.
Don’t need you to understand,
I’ve risen from the hate.
You still follow from afar,
But I’ve outgrown every scar.
You stitched me up in shades of blue
Ripped the seams
then called it new.
Now you spin your golden lies
Like my ghosts don’t haunt your nights.
But I’m not porcelain
not your pawn
Not a light you switch back on
So build your world
pretend it’s clean
I’ll be dancing
finally free
You think the worst, expect it too,
But I’ve moved on, got things to do.
My mind, my peace, my self-love strong,
You don’t belong, it’s been too long.
So let me go, just set me free.
What’s mine is mine, not yours to see.
