I used to know who I was

I could perfectly describe to you every meticulous detail of how my future was going to unfold

Then fate inserted him into my life

Suddenly there was no plan anymore

I no longer had the ability to sum up who I was in mere words because I no longer knew who that girl is

He barreled through my life like a freight train with no end in sight

Yet somehow I knew when I met...

Silence is underrated.

I believe the beauty of silence is gravely misconceived

The wonderment of having every thought swirl about without any interruptions

I think people vastly overlook the comfort that silence holds

A chance for every fiber of your brain to relax

Your train of thought can chug comfortably along in solitude

In silence I can feel whatever I want to feel

Nothing to overwhelm my s...

I used to be beautiful. Full of life, pretty smile, happy, that’s the way they used to describe me. I am now tainted, my hair holds painful memories instead of volume, my smile nothing but a ghost on my face. I am no longer beautiful and I am certainly no longer full of life. HE took that from. He took it all from me. I had my WHOLE life ahead of me, I was only 17. I put trust in him. He took adva...

When the man with the briefcase approached me and asked me if I would like to be swept away to a paradise of wonders, I of course thought he was absolutely nuts. Something in me was screaming for a change that day, some vastly different from my everyday mundane routine, so I said yes. Flash forward a week later and I can’t manage to leave.

There’s something special about this place. I’m sur...

My fingertips caress the front of the book, engulfing them in a cloud of anticipation. As I leaf through every page, the words emit a faint whisper, bursting with the excitement of delving into a new world. Where will this one take me? I wonder to myself. There are no limits, to choose a new story is the feeling of freedom. As my eyes skim the ink, reading over line by line, I can feel the world a...

I watched you pack your things

Filling box by box

Taping away all the memories

Silence lingers in the air

Only the sound of you shuffling hurriedly across the hard wood

As I stand with watery eyes begging you not to go

There’s used to be a time when I thought we would see it through to the end

But your heart is as shallow as my hope for that is now

It is all I can do to stand here

Playing prete...

“Your crown is made of the people’s bones and hunger.” I say with a trembling voice to the sadistic man sitting upon the golden throne. “You rule over this kingdom with an iron fist disguised in hopeful wishes and cowering fear. You are no God! Who are you to decide who gets to live and who gets to die at the expense of your sinful shrine.” The man’s eyes are deadpanned forward, no trace of empath...

As I stare deeply engrossed in the elegant swirls of the yellow and blue hues that make up Vincent Van Goghs ‘Starry Night’, I can’t help but yearn to know what it would feel like to be inside this painting. The night sky a soothing lullaby, with stars twinkling like fireflies. There’s something peaceful and serene about the endless twists and turns of the magical sky painted over the quiet city. ...

His arms wrap around me

Engulfing me in aromatic clouds

His words so sweet

His sting so intrusive

His eyes a pale blue

The sky has no comparison

His lips so bountiful

Wrapping perfectly around my lips like chartreuse satin sheets

Every kiss sweeter than the last

Anxiously waiting for the sugar period to pass

He feels so sinful

I’ve always been warned to stay away from anything too sweet

I, ho...

Life without you

Feels like diving to the bottom of the ocean

Without any gear

All the oxygen ripped from my lungs

Every vessel in my body feeling like it could implode at any moment

Life without you

Feels like being stranded in the middle of the desert

Without any water

Desperately beside myself

Longing for something too far out of my reach

Life without you

Feels like being the new kid in sch...
