FEAR (Remove filter)
Scared
Scared
there’s a war in my head between
Me and my worst enemy
a giant monster of fear and shame
telling me I can’t ever change
And every time I step out to take a risk
the monster screams and shouts “you can’t do this”
cause “who are you, and what do you have to say?”
i know you, and I’ve always kept you safe
and now you can’t get me to leave,
I’m bigger than ...

The Wolf and Moon
A lone wolf walks amongst the highest peak.
See's the life of a bright beautiful moon.
The wolf stares in awe and howls, till the lungs feel weak
But notices the moon doesn't move.
He howls louder yet theres no change.
So he tries to climb higher so he can see.
He howls once more.
Mesmerised by a beauty that's so free.
The next night comes, in awe he howls again.

Soldiers In My Mind
I am at the pit of my breakdown
Saying goodbye to sleep I once loved
Food I could once eat without nausea
Dreams
That once allowed rest
Help me
I pray
Sitting on the floor sobbing
Do I allow this pain to make me human
Or wish it away?
I bring these matters to You
I cannot do it alone
I’m still processing
Picking out the safest part...

What is Poetry?
Poetry is my
drug of choice,
calming rain,
rays of sunshine.
an antidote
to suffering,
waltzing words
on lonely nights,
my lost lover
whispering
in my ear,
release,
of fear,
wind beneath
birds in flight,
illuminating
light,
immortality...

To be Loved by You
What do you see
When your eyes land on me
What do you fear
When I am near
What is written on the wall
That's guarding you from all
I long to give to you
Do you know
Do you really know
That I would never let you go
Do you understand
I only wish to be with you
In the end
When I look at you
It's like the whole world is new
A better place for all

Nightmare off 75
Anxious vibes keep me awake
I have these vivid dreams at night
They tell me you are not alright
It eats me alive that I cannot call tonight
Every second felt so real
The headlights and broken glass
Sharp breaths that sound like your last
The blood on your shirt and on my hands
The way they tried to pull me back
All I could see was your hand, a cracked screen, and glasses...

The Wasp
She is dead already,
those eyes have murdered her.
They shut her inside jars,
scream their pain, projection.
She needs not to sting humans
but she is overwhelmed.
Searching for open windows,
A chance to kill herself.
