  • They Know

    They know something that I do not.
    They know how to walk the way that they do,
    talk in the way they're supposed to.
    They are appropriate and fair,
    they are balanced and worthy,
  • To Do:

    I began to create a list,
    to wash my hair,
    and make some food,
    and clean the car,
    to take the trash out,
    water the plants,
    sweep the floor,
    and bake.

    Then I carried out these tasks,
    I washed my hair,
  • Journey

    If only someone were to know me,
    it would be better to feel known,
    then know that no one would ever get close. 

    I trust in my journey,
    but it feels that mine was left behind,
    in a town that only caused me pain.

  • Written


    It's funny the way that I write,
    midnight on my lowest days,
    as if this pain holds me accountable,
    as if it pushes me to feel where I can not,
    it's when I close my eyes and pray for the solace in this world,

  • Dad

    It's these nights that I just want to call my dad,
    the nights I wonder what I'm doing wrong,
    why this world despises my energy,
    dislikes my every effort,
    distrusts my every thought,
    it's the night that no mother can soothe,

  • Well

    I wish that I was in a well,
    I wish that my sobs echoed so loud in my ears,
    in the middle of the woods,
    so loud that I wasn't so afraid to cry.
    I wish that I was in a well, 
    Sitting down on my knees,
