Biography
In an effort to empower myself despite the problems I have faced I have turned their memories and feelings into poems. I hope other people can relate and get something out of it.

"Vodka Kisses" Do you remember that time? Neither do I Kinda like the first time, the last time, that party, last night You rob me of my memories And a little more than that But I love you I love trading my values, my inhibitions For how you stroke my impulsivity Your warm inside me not like the others who forced their way in Some nights your touch is soft and warm But other nights we go hard I can't hold my head up, cant walk straight, I laugh I don't know what's funny because I wouldn't be laughing if I was sober If I was myself Who ever that is I don't remember, like that one time... "You" You are a ravaging fire Your selfishness scolds There's no Light or warmth As I nurse my burns Few times I reduce you to embers Before you consume me into ashes "Daddy" Daddy dust man Caked over everything Diming it all to grey I've wiped you away with my tears Blown my anger at you To see what's been hidden from the light Its so beautiful Though weathered and aged But even as it shines unscathed I know the dust is already collecting "Love" We were high on laughter The light in our eyes inspired the sun to rise The night ended and we knew we were next If living is about securing a place to exist Life itself is in your arms And death is your goodbye "Fed Up" How many fucking times Can you do this Can I break down Because this time We were going to change The pace I know you need time And I need space But we'll do this again Gain less of both Less of each other "Last Time" Last time you promised Like you the time before that I don't know if I believed your lies Or mine But neither are enough And I only mean the apologies I make to myself "Where love Died" Love crawled into bed Next to me to die We waited for peaceful moments Between the shouting She hates the noise And the hostile indifference 'will they miss me' she implored 'like all lost things are missed' Earnestly and then Only when needed Alone, I mourned love After she killed herself Like most things with nowhere to live Nobody understands the self destruction But being that I know despair As deafening and consuming As love, I mourned love Like I gave her life myself Shame and disappointment Came uninvited and Stayed far too long
