Advice for the insecure

Be you

Call out to the world

“Differences are ok”

Especially when you

Follow your heart

Go for your dream

Help other people

Inspire

Just reach for the stars

Know your not alone

Let them say what they want to say

Many don’t understand

Never stop educating

Open up

Perservere

Quit hiding

Run out and

Say

“This is me”

Understand that there’s nothing you can do to change the...

An ocean of emotions are spilling from my chest.

By sunset my feelings will have drowned me.

Color’s shift from green to blue.

Dark waters ahead are unwavering.

Even my mind is dying softly with the rest of me.

Forgetful I am, but not right now, when I am filled by memory.

Gorgeous scents of salt and sea suffocate my brain.

Hollow from the world around me, I am my own thought’s detainee.

I...

All while the people spent making their lists,

Baiting dear Santa to give them a wish,

Cookies and cookies, besides that, they don’t care what _he’ll_ get.

“Don’t worry about Santa, he wants no gifts.”

Except maybe he does, just like all of us,

Failing to explain exactly what we want.

Get what you want, care less for the others.

How come it’s that way?

If you can say thank you, why don’t y...

Once upon a time there was a boy called Sam. He was just an ordinary boy who did ordinary boy things. One day Sam’s mum said he could take a walk through the forest all by himself. He was super duper happy and off he went. He was being an ordinary boy still walking through the forest whistling. That’s when he heard a noise. He stopped and then in front of his eyes came running a fox. Sam didn’t ca...

TW: suicidal ideation

Ask me who I am;

Berate me like my mother.

Clear your throat and

Dare to choke — a boy like any other.

Evade me if you must.

Forget about the stars

Gloating through the curtains when you

Hide behind those bars.

I might call tomorrow,

Jealousy soaked to the bone.

Kudos to your sister, never leaving you alone.

...

A speck of life sits between us.

Before we choose what to pick for it, we must decide.

Choose which reality to hand it over to.

Demise and Death?

Ecstasy and Elightment?

Four choices, and more, that bring out the outcome of the human race

Getting into life isn’t so straightforward anyway.

Hell, I don’t know why we even try.

“I know,” you say, “but I don’t know how you’d feel.”

Just tell ...

Ambition never took me far,

But my love for you did.

Chasing feelings I may not have forever,

Dreaming nightly of your kiss.

Every day spent in your presence

Falling oh so hard for your bright smile.

Grab my wrist and lead me away,

Hand in mine, i'll stay awhile.

I can't help but gaze into your eyes

Just watching as they gleam.

Kindling the warm flame in my heart, i feel

Like a loves...

As I walk through the show,

Below is a night club.

Coming here is my safe space,

Desire to order an Italian sub.

Everything is exactly where it needs to be,

Friday night, Saturday morning.

Going with my best friends,

Having a great time, not boring.

In the club, I’m dancing with the DJ,

Jumping around

Killing this sick beat,

Loving the surround sound

My hips don’t lie,

Nothing is making sense,

...

A long time ago, I saw a boy laugh. Barely able to breathe type laughter. Clearly he had no care in the world. “Dangerous,” I thought, to show that much emotion around the others. Everyone knows that he had shown his hand. Frankly, I acted repulsed, but deep down I was jealous of his freedom.

Growing up in the same neighborhood, he reached his hand out to mine and dared to smile. Hands interlock...

Andante, little sprout

Beware the wish to win the race

Can you wait but a little longer?

Don’t rush, darling, even if

Every bone in you screams _RUN_

Forget what they told you about fast

Going the distance requires consistency,

Half the battle is a steady pace.

Ignition throttles you forward,

Just wait a moment, dear,

Kindly reduce your speed,

Let your feet develop a rhythm, andante,

Mind the path...
