This simple little narrative expresses one of 50 reasons why I kind of struggle with a fear of the male species. I personally think it’s pretty important to have friends of the opposite sex in your life to keep you grounded and offer different perspectives. Especially right now as I embark on my journey of…

You carry your image with you as a weight which wearies your soul, Like an anvil barely balancing between two two by fours, A cinder block pressed against your broken chest. & the worst part is that you’ve carried it for 20 years without realization. You want to part with it because you know that…

I Give You My Broken

Woke up today in a bout of pain. I recently started really lamenting the loss of a few familial relationships in my life that took place many years ago and one of my sets of parents’ divorces that took place in 2016. The timing of this is all pretty poor in my mind to be…

What can I say? I love deep. So far I don’t think I’ve met anyone who loves me quite as much as I’ve loved them. Except maybe my mom. And one of my friends whose actions have been pretty consistent over the years. But I used to view that as a negative thing. “LOVE ME. LOVE…

20 Years of Life

There are two distinct moments in my life when I remember deciding to become more bold. The first was midway through 6th grade when I had just moved from Virginia to Colorado and received an e-mail from a boy in Virginia who I had a crush on since the second day of school that year.…

Bound to Be Free

I tried to shut up my emotions But my emotions shut me up. They drained me from the inside, And nothing I could do would be enough. There was no light I could hold on to, No railing I could grasp. There was no beat to dance along to, No beaten trail with fresh new…

If I Could Paint You

If I could paint you with words, I’d be talking all the time And it wouldn’t be long before I’d run out of creative ways to rhyme. But if I could paint you with paint, I would be painting on forever Because no matter how much time I spent I could never put you all…

Pain pain go away, Come again some other day A day when I have strength to fight. A day when it won’t take all my might. Pain Pain, don’t come at all. If I had my way, I would never fall. Not today, not tomorrow, not any day soon. and I would be able to…

Drafts. I have at least 50. 50 drafts of everything. Drafts of how I pictured my life to go. Drafts of thoughts I thought I wanted to let you know. Drafts. I have at least 500 drafts of poems I never finished. But more than that are the hundreds of blog post drafts, currently…

An Ode to Positivity

I’ve been working on writing a lot of drafts about various things from my travels to spiritual matters, social situations, and beyond. But it’s been awhile since I’ve written any poetry and I needed a minute to return to that. In light of all the negativity that occurs in the world, I decided that we…
