I wish I was the new girl
Or boy, or whatever society makes of me
I want to have value, not like a valuable person, but like a diamond
Sparkling in the light, sometimes colorless
A picture is worth a thousand words
But I just want to be worth one.

With the winter coming in, and holidays, remember it’s a hard time for some people. Mental health isn’t an easy topic for most people to talk about, myself included. Be mindful, don’t dismiss, and be opening of people who try to vent or open up. Be safe everyone and know you are loved.

The night shade
Captures your smile
Kind of like autumn leaves
And the post photo op scarlet sun
Skin like cotton sheets, love like a wild fire, enveloping everything you set sights on
I saw you write a letter last night ending with “Forever Yours”
But all I write in response is “I’m Forever Yours”

It’s beautiful really
Eyes showing only apathy
Nothing short of a pathetic semblance
Of a blasè man
Hidden behind ivory curtains
Also hiding any quality of life
Or happy investment of time
Sitting on his phone
Writing rhymes to cope
To wit, is anything real?

Like knives to skin
My bones are ground
Powder, ribbons of flesh
I bleed out my eyes and ears for your touch
With every pill that I take
For every mistake that I’ve made
I find a new way to cope
But you’d never open your eyes.

The wind blows hard
Screaming, screeching
Intimately, immeasurably loud
But like my thoughts
Quiet and serene
Senseless, meaningless
Tranquil.
