My poems derail themselves often. They almost never end with the meaning that was intended. I’ll stick to my plan until about 6 lines in and then whatever sweeps over my head and my hands – it’s over so I go along with it. I don’t mind because they’re my thoughts. I write how IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Inside Jokes”

Poetry Series – Extend Belief
I get angry when someone else tells me not to write about certain topics because some people might read it and take it wrong. Where is my rage when I’m silencing myself, telling myself not to write about topics because people might not get it, might think I’m crazy? My rage is still there onlyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Extend Belief”
Poetry Series – Idealize
I can’t be held responsible for other people’s opinions and perspectives of my experiences. I remember befriending someone after not liking them. This doesn’t mean that I’m fake – it just means that I can set aside my emotional reactions to situations to see the truth beyond my triggers. It means that even when thereContinue reading “Poetry Series – Idealize”
Trauma Recovery
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post that wasn’t a poem. It seems like now, some days, my thoughts just flow in a series of paced-to-a-beat words. I think about how at some point throughout the years of schooling, I was taught grouping will help memorization. I don’t expect anyone to memorize whatContinue reading “Trauma Recovery”
Poetry Series – PTSD
Not everyone out there, watching your moves is doing it so that they can root for you. See, it’s been brought to my awareness that some of my readers might be creeps, going through my posts just to keep tabs on me. I’d like to say that I’ve flattered that I take up that muchContinue reading “Poetry Series – PTSD”

Do you know the willpower it takes to not tell someone they’re stupid as they’re saying something completely fucking stupid? Do you know the reaction time you have to have to catch those words before they launch from your mouth, laced with anger and hate? No one is stupid on account of a stupid belief.Continue reading “Poetry Series – Bother”
Poetry Series – Narcissism, Accused
I worked with a coach that told me that someones we need people around to point out the parts of ourselves that we can’t see. Without a mirror, you won’t see the tip of your nose. If something is stuck in the middle of your back, good luck catching a glimpse without coming across asContinue reading “Poetry Series – Narcissism, Accused”
Poetry Series – Money
I wonder if some topics are as difficult for everyone as they are for me? Maybe it’s one of those things that if you’ve had enough exposure to something, you become desensitized to it. Maybe the problem is that I haven’t seen enough money – I never grew up that kind of rich. Money MoneyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Money”
Poetry Series – Controversy
When you start sharing your truth, the people that have wronged you will inevitably protest. We grow in a society where it’s encouraged to hide all of your greatest wrongs, biggest flaws, lest you be judged for them. One of the biggest wrongs I’ve committed, at least to myself, was tiptoeing around people so oftenContinue reading “Poetry Series – Controversy”
Poetry Series – Hateful, Call me Ungrateful
It’s not always easy to stop from taking my feelings out on those closest to me. In the same way that children throw tantrums with the people they are the most comfortable around, knowing they’re safe and loved through them, I have this natural inclination to push the limits of just how much I canContinue reading “Poetry Series – Hateful, Call me Ungrateful”
