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 – 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”
