  • She will

    I saw you

    The other day

    Your face was wet

    With tears

    Your heart was slowly breaking

    There were bags framing

    Eyes that lost their spark

    As if someone dumped water

    In your soul

    Extinguished

  • That one leaf

    Every leaf tells a heartbreaking story

    Every leaf gets swept away

    Every leaf crumples

    Until it is nothing but dust

    Is that my story?

    Am I bound to be forgotten

    Like that one leaf that flew in my hair

  • We're everything

    We're weak

    And yet you still must

    Trap us with laws

    Because deep down inside

    You know we are strong

    We're insignificant

    But you get distracted

    By our clothes

    And you need a girl

  • Taint of red

    It comes like clockwork

    Tainting my life in red

    Searing pain

    Heavy thoughts

    Crushing my heart

    And yet

    I go to school

    I get good grades

    I do my sports

    With the taint of red

    Everyday

  • Why?

    Somehow he always finds me 

    In the hallway

    At recess 

    Always

    Me. 

    I long to ask the question 

    Why?

    Why me?

    Why not anyone else?

  • You are not alone

    Are you the friend that never gets heard when there's a group conversation? 

    Are you the friend that when there's not enough room in the hall or on the sidewalk you go behind everyone? 

  • My Inner Beauty

    I was so undeserving,

    And yet you were so persistent.

    I pushed, and you pulled.

    I cried; you held me. 

    My heart was broken, 

    you repaired it.

    When I needed it most, you were there, 

  • you are

    you are an ocean, 

    a transparent abyss of blue 

    that could swallow someone whole,  

    waves battering against thick grains of sand. 

    you are a battlefield, 

  • Pumpkin season

    I’m four years old and it’s pumpkin season again. 

    I’m holding tightly to my best friend’s mittened hand 

    and feeling the wind whipping at my face, 

    turning the tip of my nose pink,
