  • Jealousy

    I always thought

    We’d be together

    For so much longer.

    I thought that

    I’d finally found

    Someone who would

    Love me for a while.

    Not just until 

    She got jealous.

    I was fine

  • Autumn Leaves

    I step outside,

    And look around.

    I see the autumn leaves.

    In hues of yellow,

    Red and brown.

    I see the autumn leaves.

    As I watch,

    Barely breathing,

    Autumn leaves 

    Fall from the trees.

  • The Human Mistakes

    The sun sets over the ocean.

    The wind blows through my hair.

    Voices float on the breeze.

    I wonder, sometimes

    What the world

    Could've been like

    If human's had not

    Destroyed it.

    I wonder about

  • Insomnia

    I cannot sleep

    Once again.

    I lie awake

    Wishing I could see 

    The stars.

    Instead I see 

    This room and

    Its hideous orange walls.

    The walls seem to move

    Closing in around me.

  • Challenges

    Sometimes it seems

    Hard to understand

    Why things are

    The way they are.

    But even if

    We don't understand

    All we can do

    Is move forward.

     

    Life has its challenges

  • The Cats

    My mind is fuzzy.

    I can't think straight.

    I hear a clock ticking.

    Is it just in my head?

    Do you hear it too?

    I round a corner.

    The cat waits there.

    It watches me.

    It watches me.

  • If Autumn Were a Person

    Wisps of long brown hair

    escaping a orange knit hat

    Honey brown eyes

    Surrounded by black-rimmed glasses

    Heart-shaped lips

    Lightly covered in lip gloss

    Cream sweater

    Under a green puffy jacket

  • Autumn

    The fluttering leaves that were once so lush and green and captivating and sang in the breeze,

    Now, they are gold,

    Wispy flakes nestled in among the reds and oranges,

  • Time Does Not Stop for Beauty

    It's here, prepared or not – 

    A single flower. 

    Dozens of breathtaking, intricate pink-orange petals reach for the sun. 

    Newly bloomed, plump seeds, crisp leaves, overflowing with rich chlorophyll  

  • Make It Stop

    “I can make it hurt,”

    My sister’s mouth uttered these words,

    as she raised her pickle ball paddle to threaten my brother

    My siblings have always had their moments,

    where they would fight as if they were opponents

  • Grow(n) Up

    I don’t want to grow up

    Because I don’t want to pay taxes

    Because I want someone to take care of me

    Because I’m a little bit scared.

     

    I am grown up

  • She is Disorder

    “Stay away,” they’ll say

    “She doesn’t think right,”

    “She has horrible visions,

    incomprehensible to the mind.”


     

    She is disorder

    She is me

    A single thought blossoms

    into sweet insanity
