Mirage of Sanity
I never said I was sane. I didn’t claim perfection no, I lean more towards distain. Compare, internalize, never share. Crazy, imperfect thoughts run everywhere but never straight. They don’t play the sane part long enough to call fun, so I can enjoy a day without feeling emotionally imprisoned. Sanity is not a noun that...

It took many years for me to love me For rich or for poor the body keeps the score. Society is always on the go no time to be still, no time to chill, we are expected to go with the flow To be authentic, eccentric quirky, society resents this to be different in society’s eyes is...

The Life of a Ghost
How can you connect with someone who's just not there? Like you can sense their presence but all it is is air The life of a ghost isn't easy No one notices when you begin to feel sick and queasy You unwillingly lie with a smile It takes a while But you begin to feel the numb Of the loneliness that you...

The relationships I deserve
Inspired by Healing of Childhood Wounds. Don't mistake Connection or Familiarity with Love or a Relationship. Just because we have experienced Chaos and Heartbreak as "Normal", doesn't mean it's Good. Love shouldn't give you Stress, Anxiety, Pain, Emotional Upheaval or Confusion. Love should feel like Calm, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Safety, and Home. The relationships I...

His mind was an abyss Of emotions And endless questions Of the world around him He wasn't much of a speaker But he was definitely a thinker His mind was a safe place Where he could speak freely Without being harmed He hated the outside world He was scared if he stepped outside He was afraid the racists might strike So instead he...

Shambles
My life is in shambles Through the smiles and the rambles It all slips though my fingers I can't hold it yet it lingers To torture and to taunt My mind seems to flaunt All that I am not In the pit of my stomach it will rot As I fear all I am now Who I'll become and how Little me would be so...
