She
She knows Hears the whispers But she ignores them She used to rely on her gut Sage wisdom was all She got When did I she become a Stereotype? When did caring become Gullible When did trust turn into Naïvety What changed? It feel the same The topsy turvy ride We aren't we My life, her life … Continue reading She
Open Letter {1}
Dear future self, I know right now you are wondering about where you are going to end up. Wondering if each choice you make is the right one. I can't tell you that it is, because I worry. I worry about pointless bullshit that I can't control and you know that. You know that worrying … Continue reading Open Letter {1}
Unequivocally
When I look in the mirror I see you I wonder did you see me too This light of mine The rays of your love shine on me Through the bad times When the road is all downhill Nothing is right Left is always where I end up Emptiness is not the goal But the … Continue reading Unequivocally
Escaping the Patriarchy
As a woman writer, an avid reader, and a cinephile I sometimes get disgusted with how women are portrayed.

Dereliction {II}
Sisyphean progress Falsely starting Never accessing the truth Odd man out Odd man out Pain and suffering Never the victor Always the chump Why do you excel without me? Yearning for you Duping myself Putting myself in a box Shipping it to you But no ones home No one is ever home You're never... I'm … Continue reading Dereliction {II}
Why Is Everything A Good Idea When You’re Drunk?
When you're drunk everything everything is the best idea ever. It could be dancing on the bar or hanging out with strangers. You just want to do everything you can think of. That confidence is what I want to aspire to every single day. That level of self-assuredness is something that I wish that I … Continue reading Why Is Everything A Good Idea When You’re Drunk?
