Thank you
for being
an escape
even on days
I needed space
Thank you
for being
my hope
even on days
I wanted to let go

A Day | A Poem
Waking up, getting ready, eating breakfast, opening and closing the door, putting the key in the lock, stepping out, jumping into a vehicle, climbing stairs, saying good morning, asking how are you, working, watching the clock, waiting for your break, wishing it was lunch, thinking about the ones you love, wondering about them, worrying if they’re all right, planning for the night, speaking to yourself, checking your makeup in the mirror, fixing your hair with bare hands, sighing at the end, calling it a day when your job’s done.
Your Voice In The Noise | A Poem
I’m here today
Because of you
I wouldn’t be the same
Don’t know what I would’ve done
I heard your voice
When I drowned in the noise
Learned To Disregard | A Poem
I want
the world
to understand.
This is
who I am.
I’m a
different person
than I was
yesterday.
You dismiss
what your eyes see
since you have
some preconceived belief
of how people
like me
are supposed
to love.
You have
to do better
because
I’ve already
learned to disregard.
Words To Maim | A Poem
Words to maim
What good are they
Dirty mouths
Half a brain
Shout slurs
No respect
Sharpen blades
Don’t deserve
Time dulls
Never earn
Power fades
The joke’s on you
Your ego inflates
Something More | A Poem
I used to wonder
if I was a thorn
in your side
that you wished
you could pick
then throw away
but you can’t fake
that light
the radiating glow
from your eyes
the curl of your lips
a flash of teeth
the tilt of your head
a familiar mouth
questions tumbling out
a greeting
an address
you laugh
like you’ve never lost
you’re strong
yet vulnerable
I love your ability
to let go
let nature run its course
but I think I detect
an invite for
something more
Missing Home | A Poem
missing home
wondering why
can’t stop thinking
about the future
or the past
should’ve known better
try to relax
and not tense up
Defeat Your Demons | A Poem
They don’t understand why you’re insecure
Facing a lot of pressure
You set your expectations high
Because you know you can
You’re tired of people who say you can’t
Don’t be caught off guard
You’re better than that
They can believe what they want
But you have to defeat your demons
You’ve done it before
So you’ll do it again
