eye of the storm
what happens when i explode? what happens when the storm that i held behind my eyes pours out? what happens then? because i try so hard to keep peace. i try so hard to remain still and quiet and elevated but what happens when my clouds get heavy and i start to descend from theContinue reading “eye of the storm”
waiting
i’m waiting to overdose on this feeling i have. this nostalgia is more than what’s good for me these days, but i can’t seem to get enough. i keep feeling fresh whips of reality cut through my face every time a tear refuses to fall. my mind is refusing to cry for you, but myContinue reading “waiting”
I Found My Niche!

She sat in the corner most of her early days, After being separated from her foundation on that one Sunday.

Go Get It
All this talent and no price tag, all this passion hidden behind dish rags. You have this whole life to live, and you’re living like you’re not good enough.

I Prayed for This
To my writing: I prayed for peace, I prayed for consistency, I prayed for wisdom, I prayed for joy, and then you started coming back around. I kept praying. I prayed for guidance, I prayed for patience, I prayed for love, I prayed for understanding, and you embodied those things. I prayed for help, IContinue reading “I Prayed for This”
