there is a hole

right where my heart should be


the fire that scarred

is ceaseless


was it in vain?


my mother taught me

to be stronger than this


and i used to be stronger than this


didn’t i?

I like to write poems that express how I go about the world and how it feels to be a teenager in these trying times.
