A Poem
The world seems so blustery
with its loud gasps and sighs
as if I’ve disappointed it with
the very placement of my body
As much as I try to twist myself,
the gusts keep coming at me
and blow me down this river
so I can float all the way home…
A Micropoem
I’ve long awaited this transformation
of mind, body, and soul to take hold of me
and allow me to reach my potential
so it was very confusing when I woke up
and looked in the mirror this morning
and saw who I wanted to be looking back
A Poem
I am trying to walk uphill
but it feels like I am carrying
a weighted blanket on my back
and my back isn’t that great
so it’s pulling me back down
because to go uphill means
I would be getting better
It’s always a struggle to believe
that you can climb…
A Poem
Stop thinking about it
Stop thinking about her
and all of the ways it
melted you like a candle
in the depths of the night
and the loneliness of the
morning, alone
Stop trying to make something
that was not into something
that was, it doesn’t work like that
and you know better…
A Micropoem
Maybe it was my undoing
that unspooled this yarn
and left me in a puddle
at the bottom of your stairs
waiting for some kid
to walk by and splash me
until there was no water left
and I wouldn’t have to
walk out your door alone
