Not sure when it started at 6 staying out of a brutally violent household taking to the unforgiving streets. The streets became my teacher and family albeit dangerous life lessons learned from a merciless source.

One step away from waves that play. In that fresh light, he let go that night. I thought back then, that was all it had been. I stayed to see each wave hit me.

I’m losing a battle I did not choose to fight in, I have waited nearly fourteen years for freedom. There is still no stopping him. I lay next to someone I adore and He still clogs my thoughts like hair in drainage. I glance at my love as they sleep, Peaceful and snoring softly, And I wish I could...

Every word you spoke carved meaning into silence, every gesture gave weight to the air. I was nothing but a shadow you cast, grateful for the light.

How can True trust Faith when lies begin to escape, You are the reason why I hide my face with a Smile or a Cape, Because I can't forget what you Took and what you keep Taking, My Heart keeps on breaking daily, that is why I am Inhaling, These Drugs I Breath, I just can't Believe, Life is full of...

I heard a story today, it felt just like mine, In this scary, monster city, it made my heart pine. Someone hurt themselves, tore their own skin, you see. Yes, a story just like mine, it came right back to me. You are brave, so much braver than I. You told your hurt out loud, under the open sky. My pain,...
