Clarity

The moment when the cacophonous music hall is brought to a silence. Her booming cries made her own energy evaporate and all she has now is to examine. Why? The question she doesn’t want to answer. Too overwhelming, too enormous. Clarity, my dear, requires work and time. Clarity, she knows, comes at a cost. AndContinue reading “Clarity”

I Love You, Bo Burnham

The power of a free-fall,Gravity against meHarsh pressure rattling my bones,Is it breathless excitement,Or have you stolen the air from my lungs?More pain than anticipation. A cascade of tears fall to the floorA once precious resource,Not worth so much anymore.The years have carved rivers in our cheeks,Exploitation left us naked,Nothing left to explore. But ifContinue reading “I Love You, Bo Burnham”

My Fallen Angel

She glowed, ethereal and tragic,An angel fallen from grace,But I was drawn to her magic.Her eyes were translucent and distant,A pearl washed ashore,But I saw a shadow there, something of a misfit,Despite all the warning signs,I charged on, closed my eyes.For all the pain we endured,Bleeding hearts on marble floors,I feel I will never beContinue reading “My Fallen Angel”

The Dragon that Swallows Fire

I breathe in hot embers,It’s like a firework has explodedIn my chest,But instead of beauty,I find destruction there.The sudden burst of warmthFades to a chillI can’t quite describe,It’s as if something wasThere,And will never be,There again.The unease of emptiness,The apprehension toward change,I want to be the DragonThat swallows fire!Absorbs its harrowing nature,And reforms it,Makes itContinue reading “The Dragon that Swallows Fire”

You Deserve a Voice

Growing in my self-confidence is one of my biggest goals right now. As I’ve mentioned before, for a long time, I trusted that other people knew better than me about the path forward. I think, in the blog posts I’ve made about this, I tend to oversimplify the achievement of growth. There is more toContinue reading “You Deserve a Voice”

The Dreamer

Weaving a long-lost dreamer into a starlit sky,You said things were fine,What a time to be alive!Remember when life was simple?Neither do I.You think too much!What does thinking too little look like?Racing headlong onto cobblestone streets,Dancing with bruised feet?When I was young, I was told to dream of the impossible!Now, I’m told I have impossibleContinue reading “The Dreamer”

Stop! This is a Mental Health Checkpoint! (VIDEO)

You are so much stronger than you know! I’ve said it before but it needs to be repeated. In fact, my homework to you is to repeat that to yourself at least once a day. Even though I did not start out having the best day, it is never too late to turn that around.Continue reading “Stop! This is a Mental Health Checkpoint! (VIDEO)”

My Room

Familiar four walls,A safe haven with prison bars,Let me out!I can’t leave today…Lacking the strength toCross the threshold.Leave me alone,But please don’t leave me. Familiar four walls,Purple,My favorite.Ridiculous vibrance,Stop mocking me!I love you,No, please, I didn’t mean to yell. Familiar four walls,Adorned with dreamcatchers and symbols of peace,Screaming into my pillow,With senseless, burning tears,Namaste. FamiliarContinue reading “My Room”

Dangerous Love

You are a walking lucid dream,Somewhere between planes of existence,You shift.You strut through these different dimensionsWith the swagger of someoneWho Belongs.You can alter my realityWith a glance.You are horribly beautiful,The plume cloud of an explosion,A neon, radioactive glow,Like a moth to a flame,Right?Still, knowing,I dance down the pathTo my destruction.Because, even if I’m dismantled,I wouldContinue reading “Dangerous Love”
