Unforgivable wrongness.
I did it.
I knew it was wrong.
Trying to erase the voices,
but they fill my head all day long.
My family and friends, what will they think?
Is this really me?
My image stained like indelible ink.
If i tell today, my pain will fray.
Will they forgive me or stray me away?
Its time to confess, my unholy sins.
My body is froze, like a store manakin.
I sigh so much, I can hardly breath.

why now?
This is truly hard, to see your truth fade like the sand on a beach. Shouldn’t I have told you sooner? yes. Did I try to? yes. Am I doing this this to breathe? yes.

Beauty Of Life
In the quiet of the womb, where life begins to grow,
A spark of love, a seed of light, in tender shadows glow.
From dust, from breath, from whispered will, a pattern fine is drawn,
Each soul is shaped in sacred ways, a new day’s dawning song.
For God, the Great Creator, with hands unseen but near,
Forms every child in tender care, each moment pure and clear.
In each small heart, a piece of Him, Hi...
If I Could Say Anything
You are so _beautiful_. Every part of you. The outside, the inside, and everything in between. Your green eyes, they're more than green. Green is too simple, too bland a word to use. Your eyes look like a forest, the sea, and the sun. So uniquely beautiful. I used to think your eyes were blue, but that was before I got lost in their depth. Before I _heard_ them. Now that I do, I see, feel, and und...
Marginalia
To doodle on the sides of my book
was not what I first had in mind
When you said
you needed to write me something
I wasn’t expecting
A heart shaped iris
Drawn above the neatly organized lines
Inside sketched eyes
Instead of dark circles
I thought a letter was what I'd find
Not a diaper baby
Floating on what seems to be clouds of dust farts
Shooting safety pins
At calligraphy of the word...
I’ll Never Tell
Cloudy brain , heavy rain
Too much to hold , too much to think
All the thoughts , no one knows
Secrets pending to be told
It’s dark , it’s mysterious but it mine.
I keep them hidden deep inside.
For no one will understand , what I hold in my mind.
Is it better unsaid , is it best untold.
Should I reveal the secrets that keep my mind on go....
Eighty-six thousand And 400 seconds
Eighty-six thousand and 400 seconds
Consumed by hours of constant hardship
Dress that way; Do it right
Look your age; don’t put up a fight
Don’t stress out; do not fret
If you mess up it’ll only create one singular mess
That’s not it; thats not right
That’s too short; thats too tight
Act right all the time
Don’t screw up it’s not worth your time
Screw up that grade
Make a mistake
Argue again

My Truth.
Say my name
Because I shouldn’t be prey
In a place that’s supposed to be safe
Say her name
Because she shouldn’t be afraid
While walking home everyday
Say his name
Because the color of his skin
Shouldn’t define who he is
Say her name
Because her religion
Shouldn’t cause her bullying
Say his name
Because mothers shouldn’t be afraid
to lose their kids to an early grave
Say her name
Because...
