Emotional Abuse

The type of abuse that happens on the inside
The victims receive inner scars they can hide
This is an abuse that can be done over and over
From someone that's angry, drunk or even sober
Suspects can vary from a mother to a friend
An emotionally abused heart isnt easy to mend
Its actually very hard for the abused to

The Distance Within

I run the miles deep within,
a subdued race, an unspoken intent,
devoid of spectators-- no finish line,
just breath and heart, both entwined.

The shades lengthen along my path
but still a soft dawn finds its way turning into gray.
Stage by stage a tale, flaw, and goal,
rushing, steady flow.

The road stretches far, but I endure—
a counterfeit concealed, strong and

Emotional Voids

hearts of glass
hurled through air
in pieces

plastic idols
nesting dolls
caned by fear

opaque tears
swept beneath
smiling lacquer

Family

When winds are rough,
And tear at hopes and dreams
When days are dark, and nights are tough,
And over-long, it seems
When bitter clouds collect above,
And ache and break and pour
We'll batten down the hatches, 
Just like we did before.
You see, to me - we're made to last;
To wait, contented, warm;
To stand and know the past has passed.
For

waiting to see you again

i sit alone and wait to see you again,
eyes weary from my vigil.
neighbors' rustling reminds me
of the world passing by,
but nothing distracts me
from the prison of thought.
in my mind i am lonely,
in the crowd even lonelier.
but the color i see
in this stale black & white
is that of your eyes
miles away from me,
the blue sky under

Your Shadow With A Tail

I remember when your laughter
Was a light across the floor—
Sun spilling from your mouth,
Feet dancing through the door.
But now the house is quiet,
And your eyes don’t meet mine.
You sit, unmoving, breathing,
Like a clock that lost its time.

I nudge your hand in silence,
Bring my leash, then bring it back,
But you just stare through windows,
Watching days fade

Rebirth of the Soul

When the mind faltered

Alternate timelines were born

Lines of realities blurred

Rifts of possibilities torn



Truth fading into the abyss

Chained to the unknown

Silently waiting for life's kiss

To shatter this stone cold throne



Provoking thy swarming thoughts

Clawing and scratching for the one

Blinded by hopes deemed naught

Until one's dreams are none



Walls shaking and quaking

Slashing and ripping

Sharpening newfound wings

Clutches of chaos beating


Sealing

Drifting Into the Blue

I've always been afraid of deep water...
So why did I believe it would make me stronger?
Maybe I thought its beauty was sublime,
But beauty can’t hold you afloat every time.

I took a breath and went under,
Trusting you through all the wonder.
The waves pushed me towards you,
A feeling so fresh and new.

As I ventured into the deep

Fleeting Friends

Grown apart 
we became after 
a long while,

Remember those days?

Daily talks upon hours,

endless laughter,
countless stories,
shared struggles,
emotional break-
throughs, 

as we both sit next 
to each other in
silence.

I always remember

my best buddy,
the one who saw
me when others
left without looking
twice and held my
hand with genuine 
love.

A rare gem, one of its kind

The time continues to
pass us on, 

memories

Silent Fire, Sacred Strength

The classroom is a quiet forge,
and I, a blade in silent fire—
shaped by care, tempered in calm,
honed to serve a brighter purpose.

But into this heatswept chamber she storms,
a tempest cloaked in titles—
her words the hammer’s fall,
striking without measure, without proof.

She holds a flame to my calm steel,
asking why I do not sparkle like she:
“Why do

And Then There Was You

I wasn’t searching for magic—
but then you smiled,
and the world quietly forgot how to turn
without pausing
to admire you.

You walked in
like a poem the sky had kept hidden,
and suddenly,
my silence learned to speak
in verses
shaped by the way you exist.

You are not just beautiful—
you are the reason
the word beautiful was ever spoken aloud.
As if the universe grew

Emotional Struggles and Resilience

You’re tired, and you’re on your own.
Stopping now won’t find you a home.
Roaming the streets, searching for a safe place to sleep,
Too scared of what strangers might think of you.
Scared it’s always going to be this way.
No one to turn to. No one to trust.
The ones you called friends, the distant family—
They betrayed you the

She Was the Story, He Was Just a Page

He loved her
like the last day of autumn —
knowing she'd leave,
but holding on
as if his hands could change the season.

She wasn’t just a chapter —
she was the entire book
he never finished,
because he kept rereading
the parts where she smiled.

He built a world around her absence,
talked to her like she still listened
in the silence of 3 a.m.

Beyond the Gaze

The world demands identity—
a name, a face, a history.
But in its grip, you lose your way,
and shame is what they make you pay.

They drag your truth into the light,
then twist it wrong and call it right.
They dress you up in guilt and fear,
then whisper lies for all to hear.

A coin of shadow tempts the soul,
Whispers

What blooms after burning

She was a field–
soft, wide, aching.
He was the match,
small
but hungry. 

They met 
not in spring,
but in that breathless hush
before things grow–
where hope is still half-buried
beneath frost. 

She held the rain
like a secret.
He wore the fire
like a promise 
He never meant to keep. 

She broke
without a sound
He burned
like it was prayer. 

and yet–
in the blackened soil,
something
