What the Pen Said to the Paintbrush
October 25, 2021 You wishTo be like meFor I am superiorIn every wayI am able to collect informationTo write stories beyond imaginationSigning the bills and the paychecksDocumenting lives with finesseAnd yetEven with our importanceWithin their daily livesRarely are we notThrown awayTo live within the dumpsOnce our inkHas run dryYou, on the other handYou are carried…

Something You Should Know
October 18, 2021 Is that I have two younger brothersOften I find myself hovering over themIn a way that is undoubtedly annoyingI’ve repeated instructions and advice hundreds of timesWorried over themStressed about nothing and everythingI encouraged them to not be like meBecause I don’t find myself someone to look up toSomeone who constantly makes mistakesWho…

Heroes Judgement
October 13, 2021 We meet once again, crossing paths is our destiny,to fight over and over… as this process continues,all this time I have not been wasting, For I studied you,Your responses to situations,Your biggest fear; failing to save oneYou doubt your abilities everydayHow sad for one with your skill setI know of some who…

In the Busy Streets
September 20, 2021 Watching herConfident and strongHer voice never faltersStating her opinionLoud and clear In a position of authorityNever is she hesitantInstead she is unwaveringCreative with her ideasAnd making beautiful creations The smell of her cookingIs second only to my grandmotherAnd her humorIs as sarcastic as the next Sitting downSmoke blowing from her cigarThe cloud…

Who are You?
November 2, 2020 I don’t recognize youWhen did you occur?You’re not who I remember…Since when did you care about your weight?Why does your smile seem forced?Why do you keep looking at them?Why are you constantly comparing?I don’t remember this…You’re not stupid!Why do you keep thinking that?Why? Why? Why?You are good enough.You are not worthless.Why are…

Hero in the Dark
September 22, 2020 Standing in the shadows Feeling alone in the crowd Never seeming to fit in Yet never were they noticed All of their talents going silent Their feelings were muted The rain was pouring down With the puddles growing below Fears and troubles were clouding the surface Never quite understanding what made them…

Flowers in the Snow
January 2020 A bleeding heartLands in the ice coldSoft white pillows in an endless landWith no where else to goThe injured covered in snow An abandoned soulWith no choice but to followStumbles and SlidesUpon an ever growing dyeOf blood red over pure white With a surge of determinationThe soul huffed and puffedAs they pulled and…

The Darkest of Dreams
April 2020 Gravity is only a daydreamAs you dangle in an empty spaceGloomy shadows all you seeSound is a distant memoryOr dreadful screams Phantoms are all that haunt youAs your vision fadesNightmares control youAs illusions merge with realityYet how can you believe anythingAfter all the lies you’ve been fed? How will they regain your trustWhen…

Permanent Marker
April 2020 An inky black messThat one can not eraseIt stays and it spreadsWords and actionsAll of which are documentedIn a past you may try to buryA stain on your perfect paintingOne that you try to hide behindAs your brush strokes an empty canvasIt appears and starts to growWith every brush strokeIt haunts you to…

When You Wake
September 2020 It’s okayTo take a breakSo put down that penAnd head to bedGrab a snack or twoYou need to eat don’t forgetGrab that remotePick up that bookRelax your mindForget all of their pressureYou need to take care of youFor no one else willFor when you head to bedAnd rest your headGet all warm and…
