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”

A Daydream
Sometimes I feel like the main character in a Taylor Swift song. When I think of you — of us — I picture us slow dancing, barefoot in the living room. I’m wearing something flowey that sweeps the ground when you twirl me around. Sometimes you are in a suit and tie, other times you’reContinue reading “A Daydream”
Noir
Maybe it’s just because it’s storming outside as I’m writing this, but I was just thinking, it would be so cool to star in my own noir detective story. You know, the black-and-white TV shows/movies. The detective is the last one at the precinct, working into the late hours as he/she/they try to piece togetherContinue reading “Noir”
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”
A Sappy Love Poem
I’m writing this while waiting for my plane to take off. I’m praying WordPress’s scheduling feature decides to work for me today. If all goes according to plan, I’ll be in Florida by the time you see this! To understand why that’s so crazy for me, check out one of my previous posts, “Our FirstContinue reading “A Sappy Love Poem”
On the Tip of My Tongue
Let’s talk about that feeling when you can’t quite describe what you want to say. New poem!
Sweat and Forget
Working out can be a great outlet but sometimes the emotions still come through…
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”
Befriending Your Demons
I wanted to write something about the monumental task that is confronting your inner demons. It’s definitely not easy!
The Perfectionist
This poem may or may not be based on a true story… I will leave that for you to decide.
Searching
You know those days,When you have to lookDEEPInside yourselfFor the motivation to rise?Folding under a sea of blankets,Carry me away!At least, in my dreams, I’m not so tired.
