Hide and Seek
I have never been good at the game of Hide & Seek
I have mastered the art of hiding
Feelings
Moments
Thoughts
But I have yet to experience the pleasure of being found.
For a while I thought someone would find me Curled up under the table in that dark room
Where I’d been hiding for as long as I can remember
They would pick me up
My two feet would touch the ground
And after a lifetime of hiding
I could breathe knowing the game was finally over.
But instead I kept waiting,
I waited and waited
A new heartbreak
Each time someone walked by
Me, naive, thought they would ..read more

Unchained
The scars are still there
They rise up from my skin
Puckered and hot and angry
My memories are clear
A tabula rasa
White cold and empty
I don’t try to recall
I don’t need to remember
I know I am free ..read more

Thank you for breaking my spirits, for you have given me strength to fly. Through my sorrows and pain come light, the light in which I had forgotten. The light in which I have been able to see the best in my self, when you couldn’t. So here’s a toast to all the sorrows I have washed away, just as I have washed you away from within me. Nothing left but memories. Memories that will fade away, just as you have faded away from my heart ..read more

There are times late at night where I feel weathered. Spent and empty. Tired Of what exactly? I’ve lived no life. I’m young by all accounts, my life before me. And yet on quiet nights. By myself. That doesn’t feel true. Spent and empty. Tired. Tired of a life I’ve yet to live. To lead. Drained by the possibility. The perspective. The potential potential. Wasted. So on quiet nights. In the dark. To myself. I weep. For those lost. For those yet to be. For failures in my past. And those inevitably. Confused at how. Having done so little. I feel I have spent so much. I fe ..read more

My Personal Predator
Pain is a predator
you might see it stalking you in the
corner of your eye;
you might think you’re safe from it, that it
will strike someone else;
you will start to worry as it gets
closer and closer;
Then it will look you in the eye, and that’s
when you know it will attack.
it will attack.
it already has ..read more

Anyways
“Anyways…”
Neither of us have moved but suddenly I feel miles away from him.
His eyes have a sort of frustrated-pity look. Like he knows he’s hurting me, he knows I’m not what he wants anymore.
I miss him. I miss the completeness I felt wrapped in his arms. His smell, the warmth of his skin, the feeling of home.
He’s looking at me now, begging with his eyes for me to leave. But I can’t move. I’m angry, I hate that he doesn’t love me anymore. I’m sad. I know that I’ve already lost him [*was he ever even mine?*].
All I want is to wrap him up and remind him of all the good we share. To ..read more

A Story Of Confession
Don’t push me.
I’m on the edge.
Bent but not broken.
I carry on.
Always carry on.
Alone.
Yet again.
I am pushed.
Onto a tightrope.
Losing my balance.
Is just too easy.
I’ll get through it.
There’s an end.
I have to believe.
Or else I’ll never make it ..read more

Masks
Once a year on Halloween Kids and adults dress in costumes and masks. They have their fun pretending to be something different than they aught to be At the end of the night they head back home Costumes and masks are stored away And they return to their true selves. On these days, I did not wear a costume However a mask was always in place What makes this mask different from the rest Is its invisibility No one knows the real me The mask has become a part of me I was not born with this mask Nor was it apparent for many years I found it mid-childhood When I lost what no child should ..read more

The Spark that Won’t Die
You are an everlasting spark. I can throw water on you, smother you, and try to blow you out. But you are always there. A slow burn. All it takes is a breath, a romantic word, a memory of intense heat, or a poke from out of nowhere and that tiny tinder bursts into a spark.
I’m a blanket. I keep you comfortable, make you feel safe, create heat—but I am flame resistant. You don’t fight the constant battle of trying to put me out, as there is no danger of fire from me.
I want to fan the flames, but I can’t. I can’t because there is a firewall that I can’t breech. I’ve tri ..read more

If only you knew
How do u lay next to someone every night, knowing you don’t love them? I try to find a million ways to leave but none of them ever work out. I lay here with fear not knowing what could happen, what will be next? Will I ever be happy again? The little voice in my head is screaming to be free but u can’t hear me. I lay here night after night thinking of ways to leave, but morning comes and the fear of being happy pulls me back. What would happen if I told you how I feel? Would you knock me down? Or let me go? But that’s just some questions I don’t want to know. If only u felt ..read more
