Left BehindYou said you didn’t want to hurt me,
But you did it anyway,
You said you loved me,
But you put me through this.
You told me you weren’t ready,
And that you need time for yourself,
But if you weren’t ready,
Why’d you say yes?
You break my heart,
And then act like everything is fine,
You expect me to be okay,
But you hurt...

Fourteen Feels Like FallingI turned fourteen, the world turned cold,
The light I knew felt strange, controlled.
They said these years would shape my soul—
But all I feel is lost and old.
I used to laugh, just ‘cause I could,
Run wild in every neighborhood.
Now I just scroll, or lie awake,
Pretending none of this can break.
The mirror’s cruel, my thoughts are loud,
I...

Tailored to Grow UpIn the world of today girls feel the need to sexualize themselves.
Social validation is more important to them than personal values, family, and getting good grades.
Makeup and skincare can be found in their online shopping carts—
replacing Christmas wish lists
along with clothes that are two sizes too big or two sizes too small.
They get...

sunriseshe lets me braid silence into her hair
twisting comfort between my fingers,
as if stillness itself could be made soft
if only touched gently enough
she thinks I’ll grow tired
that some part of her will dull in my eyes—
but I’ve seen the way she looks at a sunrise
like it’s never repeated itself
and that’s how I see her,
every time
her...

oh how my soul rotsi wonder if this feeling will pass.
if the skin rotting beneath my eyes will become a permanent color of blue,
if the bruises on my knees will fade to nothing more then flesh.
they say this feeling goes away as you age-
im not so sure about that.
i feel the agonizing sensation of pain rotting...

SuitedFor once, I feel loved.
The feeling is weird to me.
Just a few months ago I thought love was stupid.
That it was impossible.
I thought my mind was not suited
I thought it was not tangible.
Such a foolish thing to think.
Of course my mind can comprehend love
But it could all go away in a blink,
to feel higher than...

Unveiling My HeartI sribble yet another one
No hopes, you'll read
Emotions, I'll weave
A Heart filled with dread
Enchanting is your smile
I wish I were the reason
I know I'm confusing
Be honest with me, for a while
Sick of the burden I carry
Feelings, compressed
Each verse is meant for you
Desires, my heart pressed
If not me, then someone else
I'll still wish...

MY DORMANT PASTMY DORMANT PAST
MEMORIES OF THE PAST MAY COME AND GO,
BUT ONE NEEDS TO BE IN CONTINOUS FLOW.
SMELL OF CRUMPLED DREAMS IS IN MY MIND,
ANALOGY OF BOTH ALWAYS KEEP US BIND.
DREAMS TURNED INTO SMOKE AND SPREAD WINGS,
COMING BACK TO ME GASP AND UNIFY IN WRING.
MAY BE ANOTHER DAY SOMEONE BRING TO FRUITION,
THAT DAY...

Onto the little glass shard
of my dads broken
shot glass
I don’t know
why I do it.
I never have real answer
when people ask..
“To forget”
“To punish”
“To feel better..”
Those are the most common answers..
But I had a reason that...

On The Shelf, pt 2“You’re welcome.”
The words ring through my head.
The words I knew were soon to come.
My eyes fill with dread.
I knew he would see through my lies.
I knew that he would talk to my father.
After countless cries,
I seemed to not be bothered.
Nothing can stop me.
The sting makes me feel alive,
It brings me back to reality.
I’ll talk to...

FamiliarPeople may think that
They know who this poem is about
But they don’t,
And they never will.
I’ve met this boy.
I haven’t known him long.
But it feels like he’s been
My friend since birth.
He seems so familiar..
But I’ve never met him before.
Calls that were hours and hours,
As if we had all the time in the...

The Addiction Nobody Sees - Part 01It’s a warning.
If I perish, I perish
But I will not shut up.
Lust is not love.
**** is not harmless.
Masturbation is not a phase.
I lived it
Not ‘cause I was raised wrong,
But because sin crept in through a simple ad at twelve.
Yeah, twelve.
One click, and my innocence died behind a glowing screen.
Don’t tell me this is normal.
Normal ain’t...
