Why Do We Exist
...People look for an answer that has been underneath our nose,
What does it mean to live? Why do we have to acknowledge him?
Why is it wrong to be an image of his light?
The one that can move the st...

with the hoody that you always gave me so I would be warm.

breathless, tangled in what was ...

Seeing
...I have weird eyes.
Like wires that connect.
Blinking at the same time as being painful.
Eating too much.
With weird, starving eyes.
Eyelashes gripping.
Pupils which are tingling.
Eyes ev...

she had to pay the price for trying.
She was living on the edge,
she never knew the floor was caving ...

At What Cost
...My parents didn’t teach me love—
I learned it from the silence.
My mother never asked
why my eyes were red.
She looked,
but never really saw.
My father only noticed me
when I made a mistak...

She Never Knew Love
...she never knew love
served soft upon silver plates
so she learned to taste it
in sharp rusted fates
fingers traced promises
carved into skin
a hunger for warmth
in a world caving in
yet e...

This burden
...#This_burden
Heavy walls of endurance crumbles on me.
On my last kick of a dying horse.
I don't want to be a statistic,
for I too, from a woman I was carved,
Not immune to pain and hurt.
It's...

The life
...I loved when I was so empty.
Every day felt like it was caving.
Lost in hope, only to be praying.
Strength was the pain of many wars.
Tears cried feeling drained.
Never kept hurting only picke...

He said "you're second rate
and I won't take it anymore."
He continued raving
On how I was misbehaving
Said my job was not worth saving

The Routine

I woke today, teeth like ground gears.
In my dreams, I can fly far above the tear-soaked sequoias and
caked roots of all that grow, flying far away from their togetherness-
My wakin...

TIGHT SPACE
...I’m stuck in a corner, feelin’ the walls close in,
Air’s getting thinner, can’t catch my breath again.
Every move feels like I’m breaking the frame,
Trapped in a moment I can’t seem to escape.

Waiting
...I’m lying here
In my broken bed
That’s caving in
Under my nothingness
Waiting (not patiently)
For my pregnant brain
To quiet down
Waiting for the
Swishing sound
Between my ears
