I am being suffocated by causes. Will we march Quixote-like enraged by the spinning of the windmills? We protest the wars carrying placards while expecting others to carry arms, praise God and worship Jesus while condemning all others to eternal damnation. How many would offer to abort – an abortion – by offering to adopt the child at birth, feed the hungry at their...

the delight is in the disregard I'm here in this space but it's another world, a world away where creativity flows from my fingers and I sit with straight spine utterly absorbed not falling down but oh God no ...

"A realisation that no longer was it a duty to rid myself of pain but a duty to others, not to. A true Self Portrait." ~~The Poet~~ I cried a million tears while no-one was around, I bottled all my fears and didn’t make a sound. I remembered all the cruelty that was said. Only loneliness and despair filled...

It was the summer of 2014, I was just about to turn 13, spending June of summer vacation with my Grandmère, in Paris. Tonight, we’re at a fundraising benefit for African relief (it’s always *something*). It was a coveted ticket, I was told, because Keira Knightley and Rita Ora were there - somewhere. It was...

It's cold and it's windy But still that crowd meets To stand with respect At the top of Sharp Street. The Bearers stand at attention As though shrunken by age Since those seventy years When they occupied a world stage. Now they stand, booted and suited, With their Medals on display To pay their respects to Victims of an earlier day. Their banners are lowered As...

I wish I never grew up. because mama, this world is ugly. I wish I lived to see the autumn, but come winter, cut me. For mama, there is beauty in the dark, just as there was beauty in my heart. And had you told me how it goes, I’d end my story while the ink still flow. For it’s no longer...

I'm like what's next? I'm in the P.D.X, so flexed- come rain or come next, if the weather has test, "I say" take the heather to caress the pests- rush in on tether's and bust up their measures, force on them pleasures because I take care the never never and replace them with edgers... So take out your name, and stake out the possessed, because...

48 Years 2014 as time is closing in and the memory is fleeting but I’m still not ready for that final meeting To dream more often and to wish for the best So here we are at this stage of our lives combating isolation and to flow with the rest we should try to be happy in...

I am the daughter, the second in line, waiting for the utmost time. Daddy’s been happy, Mommy’s been mad. While they’ve been distracted, I’ve gotten bad. Scars on my hips and gloss on my lips, smoke in my lungs and screams on my tongue. Depression is my roommate, dormant since I’ve been eight. The emptiness aches; it roars, and I quake. My mind creaks and creeps and crawls, I have...

It’s the moments when I feel hopeless, when all I want to do is curl up and cry, slit my wrists and suffocate, it’s then that time moves slow. That’s when my eyes start to water, and the world around me feels like it’s being pulled through half-dried glue. That’s when my vision becomes blurry, and feelings escape me. As if...
