Amber Daniels Poem
Red flag
Jet lag
I didn’t mean to get mad
But that drink in your hand
It’s one thing I can’t stand
Won’t take your hand
East bound
Tumbling down
Don’t want to wear this frown but sitting here’s got me feeling as tho I might drown
Why here
Held dear
Just want to disappear
Cant speak
I’m to weak
Not again
It’s now ten
Landed
Feeling stranded
Inside my head I’m seeing red
Choking on the words I should have said
Your life
My strife
Cuts like a knife
Ill thoughts
As your liver rots
Tell me was it worth the cost?

Amber Daniels Poem
I know being human is hard
With all of our wounds and our scars
It’s hard to face our problems and mistakes
Often thinking we don’t have what it takes
To silence the demons and put them to bed
Feeling lost and trapped inside our own head
Crying out to God to throw us the keys
Broken and bruised down on bended knees
Reaching for the ones that witness it all
Hoping they will be there to catch us as we fall
But only we have the power to stand up at all
Only we have the power to answer that call

Amber Daniels Poem
Don’t know what love is but I know what it isn’t
Trying to hold onto something reminiscent
Anger, malice, and strife
Words cutting deeper than any knife
Fear creeping in and suffocating all logic
Replaying the past as if it’s chronologic
Picking up shards, bloody hands wrapped in cloth
Trying to drown out their intentional scoff
Empty apologies tossed at your feet
Like something you can’t return without a receipt
Repairing lost self esteem
Behind closed doors live things unseen
Patterns that are toxic
Gripped from the inside, can’t breathe, anoxic.
Feeling depleted
Trauma so deep seeded
Trying to escape the explosive anger,
slamming doors, and repeated clangor
Nightmarish grips on your heart
Leave you longing to depart
Feeling trapped in this dance
Fight or flight stance
Disassociate or try and negotiate
I long to break the vicious cycle
To one day have peace be the title
