Hey guys! I sort of took a hiatus from this page because I had something exciting in the works. I self published my first poetry book! It's actually been out for a couple weeks now but I'm just now getting around to letting you all know. The title of my book is HEROINE. It's a… Continue reading I Wrote a Book!!
The System
I work for a broken system Where there is not enough to offer Not enough to give The stepping stone to a new life Yet they only lead back There’s only so much I can do It takes all my strength I dreamed of helping But the system is hurting Toxic and greedy Each person… Continue reading The System
Red Lights
I just want to write But I can’t get out the words I can’t make them bend, Lace into each other, Fall into harmony But as is my life With its jagged edges Here no puzzle pieces exist Only hazard signs and red lights So I find myself stuck again Pencil in hand Grasping at… Continue reading Red Lights
Notebook
These pages hold The girl I was The person I am And the woman I want to be Here they live in harmony Safe from the war of my mind Drifting where time stands still Between folded corners and book ends With each letter I’ll float away With each piece I’ll be farther from here… Continue reading Notebook
Father
In my dreams you speak -- You move You breathe You live. In my mind you're still around -- A business trip On solid ground. And then I open up my eyes And you are no longer alive Your cologne sits collecting dust Pictures hung of you and us And no new ones will take… Continue reading Father

Where I’ve Been
Hey old friends. I'm back! I haven't been here in a while. The last time I posted was in September, and even before that my presence was scarce. I started a new job and honestly, it is mentally exhausting. By the end of the day I didn't have much left to put into my writing.… Continue reading Where I’ve Been
Hostage
Take me hostage Sew me shut Make me listen Make me see; Breathe down my neck Whisper in my ear Make a home out of my bones; Bottle my tears Set them feee Give my body to the sea I'm tired of fighting Wrists rubbed raw - Handcuffed - But I've had the keys All… Continue reading Hostage
Muse
My muse is a mean angel I can see the blood on her teeth She doesn't hide it when she smiles But then she bats those eyes -- I'm at a loss She keeps me around her finger, Like a tattoo And I'm endlessly amazed Yet always planning my escape Even if I wash my… Continue reading Muse
Next Life
He used to tell me, with chills on his spine That in another life He was hit by a semi truck And took his last breath, But in this life He's got a higher chance of overdosing I keep waiting for that call -- And he always said that in another life We were in… Continue reading Next Life
