I remember my mother's words from grade school "Can you do anything right?" I never thought it would still be this hard as an adult. What scares me Is that I'm burning my candle at both ends And I'm at the end of my rope But still falling short. "So you're trying this hard" "And … Continue reading I Make Messes

We Need to Dream
"What do you want to do?" A question that has long daunted me and one I try to push to the back of my mind... But also one I try to pull back to the front because I know how important it is. I didn't know the answer to this question when I started college, … Continue reading We Need to Dream
Under the Stairs
I remember him Perfectly. At times it feels like I was given a little demon I can't get rid of An anger constantly waiting for the right moment to burst A shame no one would have guessed lies behind the facade of my delightful smile A burning fire inside my heart that I both hate … Continue reading Under the Stairs
The “Michael” Wound
Even if I forgive him And accept him for who he is He could never rise to his duty Because change is below him And he is who he is. "You can't miss what you never knew" Isn't always true Because when I look at other people I see the previews Of something beautiful I … Continue reading The “Michael” Wound

Though I see her in the day And she knows I can't play She'll settle for being … Continue reading My Secret Romance

My Necessary Detriment
There's something about weddings that equally fills my heart as well as hurts it. I've just attended three weddings in one month. I was ecstatic to have been able to be part of them all and to witness such an incredibly special day. I was part of something that brought people together. People. That's what … Continue reading My Necessary Detriment
What I Say
I need saving from myself. I am Complacent. And I hate it. "Then stop moaning about it and do something!" I say to myself. The two of us aren't very kind when we talk. "No shit dumbass, because you'll never motivate yourself unless someone's kicking your ass!" That's true I hate being pushed around. It … Continue reading What I Say
