Paper Doll

 Once upon a time
There was a little paper doll
She lived in a paper house
Made of paper walls

She had a paper mom
She had a paper dad
And a little paper basset hound
All wrinkled up and sad

This little paper doll
Went to a paper school
Full of paper students 
Who thought that they were cool

They made fun of the paper doll
For her paper clothes
For the way she styled her paper hair
And for her too-small paper nose

Once upon a time
She decided to end it all
So she grabbed a paper rope
And walked down the hall

She got to her paper closet
And pushed the clothes aside
She grabbed a little paper pen
And wrote a note goodbye

She was gone for good
Before she even spoke
She was a little paper doll
And all the strings inside her broke

Parallel Lines

 always reaching for
each other; never getting
to touch your stretched hand

4:13 Pm

 A lot can happen in a minute.

A sudden epiphany,
A revelation.
Opening doors,
A realization.

Fresh starts,
Beating hearts.
Good luck,
Tearing apart.

A lot can happen in a minute.

Suicide Hotline

Suicide Hotline

Ring

Ring

Click

Yes?

Just breathe.

In
Out
In
Out

Talk when you
Are ready

Put down the pills
Please

Throw away
The blade

Cut the rope 
Into tiny pieces 
If it makes you not afraid

Silence

Hello?

Beep
Beep
Beep


Call Ended.

Describe a Color Without Saying It

Blue

The color of the sky
When I met him

The color of the water
When he asked me to be his

The color of the snow
When he first kissed me

The color of his shirt
When we had our first fight

The color of my eyes
When I look in the broken mirror

The color in the air
When I find him

The color of his lips
When I know it's real

It's not my favorite color anymore

Famous Last Words

 It's very beautiful over there
My own life I cannot bear
I cannot sleep, don't let me fall
You're right, it's time, I love you all

I am going away tonight
This crushing weight I cannot fight
My own sorrow was my own downfall

Somehow, you said them all

The Moon and the Tide

 If you are the moon,
I rise and fall to your will,
So I am the tide

Flower Child Meets Life

 I was so happy
A free spirit
A flower child.

Then, you took me captive
Called me as your own
And forced me to drink from the well of your people.

You shoved the seeds down my throat
And I had no choice but to swallow.

I got addicted 
To this lonely place
And now, can never return.

I miss my family.
My friends.
My old life.

But I cannot leave this place
For I am bound by the bond
That I did not agree to.

You never want them to know
The hunger of Persephone
And how I starve for something
Other than pomegranates

Symmetry

I'll stay on one side
You will stay on the other side
This is symmetry

Starlight

 i run my fingers across
the freckles on your nose
tiny, perfect stars
that shine just for me
