I was raised on a thought

A tiny seed

Planted in a sea of rot

_It was that if you took up too much space_

_You’d be a disgrace_

And so I grew up

Raised on that thought

I cross my arms to hide my stomach

Because I’m nervous that they’ll spite it

And when I walk past a man

I cover my chest with my hands

And every day of my life

I see everything in black and white

And do you know what I’ve learned?

...

10 letters, to be wondered

Unsaid words never heard

Nothing nor keys, will free our cages

Do see the stolen choices guiding our future

Everyone knows, your decisions will change us

Rather you choose to see, isn’t what we are to be

Stories will be told, ourselves will be whole

Together, black and blue swollen, we will be hoping

Our cuts will be healed

Our future gardens unfailing

Do know mar...

A seed light as a feather

Dancing in the breeze

Hurles itself downwards

deep into the depths

Of the soil below

Tucked in treasure

Ready to sprout

Patiently waiting

When the right time is about

No awareness, no sound

Only an uncertain feeling all around

It gains the strength

to spread its roots

Extending beyond

The capacity of truth

Steadfast and heavy

It reaches beyond the eye

So durable in...

For as long as I can remember, never have i experienced the gratification of knowing what Home felt like.

No sense of safety or belonging.

Family wasn’t solid, more like every man for themselves.

A constant war raging within everyone.

Like the never ending story,

the nothingnes was consuming us all.

Like Ferngully our forest ripped from the ground,

I had to get away as fast as i could.

I guess...

Born 8 pounds, 12 ounces

Screaming and Whaling

A blessing to the family that Grief surrounded

Born with eyes wide open

She’d always know love

Because that was what she was raised on

It was who she was

They’d hold her close

Grow her up on family vacations

Hugs and kisses

She was needed

She knew she wanted to be something

Inspiration bubbling up around her

Raised on the purpose

The power...

We always marvel

At the grandeur of a tree

By its height,

Or it’s leaves,

Or the thickness of its trunk

But that is not how the tree continues to live

For that, you have to go under

Deep, wide, long

The roots snake through the ground

Without the roots

The could never have become grand

Without the roots

The tree could not live

Perhaps we should give more credit

To what lays beneath

To...

How could I say yes?

Yet I leaped to it.

How could I forget?

Yet I regret.

How could I not want you?

Yet I ran from you.

These issues run far

but your roots run deeper

They stay longer

Forever….

Believe me when I say

The people you surround yourself with, influence your success

The people you call your “family”, your mother, your father, your sibling

They’re not always the ones who support you

Who help you up when you fall down

Who push you to keep going even after you give up

They’re not always the ones who believe in you

And that’s okay

Sometimes your real family is your group of fri...

Bright green leaves with drops of dew

The branches swish with the breeze around you

A long sturdy trunk, holding it tall

Through spring and summer and winter and fall

Deep beneath the ground

If you dig is found

An upsidedown forest like a reflecting lake

Except none of this haven is fake

The soil protects the trees knees

From the dangerous and swishing breeze

Stretching to lands just out of r...

We love the trees, we love their foods!

We love the trees, and even their roots!

But what ever will we do?!

When the roots are why we can never poop?!?

Oh rooooooots

Oh there’s roots.

Stopping up tha mane line for my boooke’s

I’m starting to sweat from tryin not to doo doo.

It’s hurting me so bad I think I’m gonna puke.

God damn those roots!

Fuck you!

I wished you would cut me loose!
