ruined
I can feel it all burning down, the walls I painted in soft colors, the corners I swept clean for company— they crackle in silence. Instead of exploring other ruins, chasing ghosts in forgotten places, I should stop. Sit with the dust in my own lungs. Run my hands along the scorch marks I never let cool. There is wreckage here I never named. I’ve been walking...

A Gold Digger
She appeared like a shadow in silk, On 57th Street, Where men lose themselves Trying to impress ghosts. Victoria — that was her name. She smiled not with warmth, But with calculation. And I, foolish in my hunger for love, Mistook her gaze for fate. She asked if the Rolls-Royce was mine. I told her it belonged to my boss. She changed. The voice that once danced...

The Crown of Silence: A Lament for King Charles III
You wear a crown forged in centuries of silence, Not of gold, but of tears—each gem a wound, Each jewel a stolen breath from lands unnamed. The sun never set on your empire, Charles, But neither did its shadow. At seventy-three, you ascend a throne Built on the backs of broken nations. Malawi mourns not your reign, but its own hunger. India remembers...

I Just Killed A Man
There lacks no fear in death, ?No pain in the grave. ?The pen is mightier than the sword, ?I just killed a man. ? ?There lacks no pain in the heart, ?There lacks no tears in the eyes, ?But the pen is mightier than the sword, ?I just killed a man. ? ?The pen bleeds ink, a river of regret, ?As I sign my name to...

Pardon Me
"Good for nothing? Yeah, I know I am. I know I'm a disaster, I made everything worse all the time; I know it all, you made sure of that. Now, what can I do except saying sorry? Sorry for the existence I guess, I don't know what else... Every time I apologize you say I'm just saying, Trying to be humble,be good but always...

Betrayed by you
Trapped in my head, I'm stuck in my past Of you and me, fighting with our memories . I want to reach out, but I can't pick up the phone Your betrayal still hurts me, my love turned to stone I lost my peace when I was you . Anxiety and depression was my only friend. I know you're...

—all this. You'd love it, but you lost personality privileges when you bargained against the middle of my chest, never starting compressions even though it was you who shocked me into an arrest. I'm still trying to break free of— ...

Sorry for being me
I'm sorry for being black I'm sorry I ever cared Every moment Every smile Was pity Why be ashamed? When I'm just me Standards on standards to fit Expectations to meet People to please Now I am ashamed Ashamed that I could not fit and distort my true self for others Eight years old, on a staircase, trying to scrape off my complexion Maybe if I was not...
