Looking back at unfinished poems, they are all the same. Sad and full of shame. Was I really this way? Does poetry ever change? Endless questions fill my brain. How does one break the chain? I want to write a poem on something not so vain. Well before I’ll need a cane. Something that willContinue reading “Old Poems”

Career – A Short Poem
Depression deepens. Anxiety worsens. I feel myself slowly sinking. Even though I thought I had just found my footing. Panic rises. Suffering creeps in. Mentally, I am slowly fading away. Expectations rises. Disappointment continues. Face yourself and truly see. Unrecognizable. Uneducated. What do I really have the potential to be? Peer deeper and fixate. Educator?Continue reading “Career – A Short Poem”
No More – A Short Poem
I love you, but I love me more. I might be selfish but, I am happy to the core. Your face filled with beauty, but your heart is as ugly as an old bore. You treated me like a chore, called me a whore, and now I am out the door. Time was never wastedContinue reading “No More – A Short Poem”
To My Bestfriend – A Short Poem
I left not because I don’t love you, but because I love myself more. The happy memories I could never ignore. Both knowing something is hidden deep within my core. For I can not ignore it any more. I did my best to progress with you, but just feeling like a pest when my feelingsContinue reading “To My Bestfriend – A Short Poem”
A Letter to My Lover – A Short Poem
So out of touch, yet of an arms reach. My language of love runs deep. Something that I can teach. But refusing to learn interrupts my heart beat. Writing it all out to bring myself back from defeat. Yet still somehow continuing to fall at your feet. Thinking I have it all, just to pullContinue reading “A Letter to My Lover – A Short Poem”
To the Beautiful, Black People – A Short Poem
I do not experience the unexplainable hate you deal with everyday. I do not see the bitterness in other people’s eyes as they lay their gaze at you. I do not feel the tension you experience because the color of my skin is light. I do not hear the racial slurs barked at you asContinue reading “To the Beautiful, Black People – A Short Poem”

Soulless: A Short Poem
Ties tangled under my heart. Unrecognizable due to its chains. Bones aching for a change yet, nails clawing at the surface of rage. Skin boils with every passing day. But you always hear me say, “I’m okay.” “Your mind is fine,” you proclaim. “The body well maintained.” “I hate to say it, but I’ve gotContinue reading “Soulless: A Short Poem”
Love Hurts: A Short Poem
Oh my sweet lover, so perfect you stand in all your flaws. I have given you my life, just to watch it all fall. Your love burns passionately, the proof is hidden in the marks on my body and in my heart. Yet I always stay, acting through the pain. My love for you runsContinue reading “Love Hurts: A Short Poem”
Loneliness – Short Poem
You’re surrounded by it, but there is no one. Filled with watery eyes, but empty inside. They say you’ll be fine, yet you’re in a bind. Slowly loosing time and always looking for wine. You hide it well, but there is no fooling yourself. The red eyes in the mirror are seeing through the liesContinue reading “Loneliness – Short Poem”
