- Poetry > Free Verse
Your eyes tell more than your mouth. Speaking harrowing truths. Mind meets words. Deathly adjectives. Scorning nouns. Your eyes are two-way mirrors. Reflecting your each and every thought. Meaningful pleas for love. Lust. Affection. Not caring which. Desperate lies fighting my hate. I ca... - Poetry > Free VerseWhite walls surround me but I'm covered in red. I feel so alive but I'm already dead. The wind blows through me, wiping away my soul. Just another deadly toll. No heart to beat or fingers to drum. I'm not asleep, my time has come. Memories flood through me, revealing my past. Wh...
- Poetry > Free VerseLacy underwear lace the floor. A do not disturb sign hangs on the door. Little blue pills hidden here and there. Take one with her, Get lost if you dare. Dirty clothes strung all over the bed. Awake or asleep she's the living dead. Up all night with bloodshot eyes. Little secrets. Dirt...
- Poetry > Free VerseSomber tales of redundant glory plague your every thought. Longing for the day when you can avail what you were taught. Whispers speak of your utter shame. You cry, needing your fifteen minutes of fame. Narcissistic souls like to bring you down. You wait for the day when you can finally escape ...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou played it off like you were joking. But inside you were dying. I should've known. I was your best friend. Still am. So why didn't I see the pain in your eyes? Behind your eyes? You cried. And all I did was look away. Yes, it pained me to see you hurt. But there was nothing I ...
- Poetry > Free VerseI feel the ground beneath me But I can't shake this sense of falling. Every time I look away, I swear I hear you calling. But that won't happen in this lifetime, I know. I just wish you didn't have to go. So I'll shed a tear and fix this my own way. Maybe I can finally st...
- Poetry > Free VerseShe lives in a world of blackness. Nothing can make her see. Swimming in a black void. Living everyday with uncertainty. No one can truly help her. She'll always be alone. She looks, but there's no sign of any color. Not a hue or a tone. Reaching into the black abyss, Someone ...
- Poetry > Free VerseOne time acts of trouble, Are always on your mind. Even when we're together, A wrong doing you will find. One time in particular, Always plagues your thoughts. Reliving that fateful night, Never fails to tie your stomach into knots. You promised it would be a night to die for. How ...
- Poetry > Free VerseHow long before my life is gone, will I ever know? Should I keep worrying or should I just go? I need to take the leap. I need to feel the air. I need to just let go. I need to not care. Someone told me to stop my crying because before I know it, I'll be dying. So I need to take the leap...
- Poetry > Free VerseFire proves fatal. Scarring my already scarred facade. Doing worse to others. Questioning everything I thought I knew. People losing faith in humanity. Can you blame them? Some wondering if we'll make it to the end. Sometimes I wonder too. Eyes bleed truth. Mouth bleeds lies. Destiny ...
- Poetry > Free VerseI watch your chest rise and fall as you silently breathe. You're dreaming. I can tell because you're smiling. An activity I haven't seen you do since I was little. The sun shines through the transparent pane, Making your hair look like gold. I take out my camera and click. I ti...
- Poetry > Free VerseFire and ice. Isn't it nice? To have such variety? You say you're unique. But it's conformity you seek. You don't have to lie to me. You know the truth. You don't need proof. You're not as different as you seem. Reality check, I'll be back in a sec....
- Poetry > Free VerseHushed faults disappear into the black void. As complicated or simple as the transition from day to night. Forgotten regrets push you into a state of sorrow. Like a red penned note from lover to lover. Death reigns supreme. A cliche not to be messed with. Conformity tugs at you. A child...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou hurt me everyday, don't you see? Laughing at my dreams and wishes, You define me. Indifferent to the pain you cause, The scars you bring. I'm just sick, Sick of this emotional abuse thing. Every laugh is another bullet, Right to my inner core. Then the screams escalate, ...
- Nonfiction > Personal ExperienceIt was the day before Thanksgiving and I was so excited. Who wouldn’t be? Delicious food and a whole day of family time? Of course I was excited. I had been having a hard time with my biological father, whom I hadn’t seen in over eleven years. I was struggling with the fact that he wasn’t the...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou are beautifully flawed. An immaculate mistake. Inside and out, you're messed up, but that's what makes you you. You're a work of art covered in dust, once loved but quickly forgotten. You shouldn't be so sad. You have everything you could ever want. But still, you cry...
- Poetry > Free VerseAbandoned at a young age, he didn't even care. Mom married a jerk who only sees what I wear. Living my life scared day to day. Scared to die and scared to fade away. Crying myself to sleep didn't help at all. I needed a new way to cope that's when I started the fall. Causin...
- Poetry > Free VerseI awake in a cold sweat. Putting on my shoes, I have a goal set. Cold air bites my unclothed arms. Weaving on my bike through unlit farms. Making my way to the metal bridge. Looking down over the mountainous ridge. Surprisingly, you're face comes into my mind. I see all you're featu...
- Poetry > Free VerseIs this our last tomorrow? Will I ever see the rain again? Falling from the sky like God is crying for me. Will I ever smell the flowers in the garden again? The way they look when the sun hits them just right; making them look like gold. Will I ever feel the fur of a dog again? Matted, mop...
- Poetry > Free VerseYour eyes tell more than your mouth. Speaking harrowing truths. Mind meets words. Deathly adjectives. Scorning nouns. Your eyes are backwards mirrors.

- Poetry > Free VerseSomedays I feel ok, but others I fall flat. Somedays I look at the sky and wonder why is that? Somedays I stop to smell the flowers, their scents; very dear. Somedays I say, "Hello." and wonder if you hear. Somedays I search and search, and never find the end. Somedays I can't bear to...
- Poetry > Free VerseScarred on the inside not on the out. Scarred on my mind without a doubt. Scarred where no one can see, in the head. Scarred in another world. A world for the dead. Scarred, all over, not like the tamed. Scarred... Should I be ashamed?...
- Poetry > Free VerseSing me a lullaby one that I know. Carry me softly down this road. Don't tell where we're going don't tell me why. Just sing me to sleep sing a lullaby....
- Poetry > Free VerseI go in the store and look at all the things I can't buy. Money is running low and prices are too high. I grab some things and head on my way. Luckily, this hasn't ruined my day. When I get home, the eviction notice is on the door. It's hard to get evicted when you ha...
