Eyes                                          

When you look into my eyes, 
what do you see?

The debris from all the tragedy?

That’s only part of me

Like a detainee, I’m trapped inside, 
denied feelings of happiness
only a slight will to survive 
I’m only here
because
I plea,
for sanity
for my mind to not 
take over me,
with negativity
to give me the dignity
to fight another day. 
Strength, not captivity 
Ability, not anxiety
I want to write words 
that need to be heard
without them getting blurred. 
Let me transfer the good 
for all that are misunderstood.
I want to RISE, 
that’s what I want you to see
when you look into my eyes.

​


STORMS                                            

I can find peace in the winds now,

I love the roar ,

The ever-changing churns.

It takes, it makes, it purifying.

Its loveless, on purpose

Unlike people.

Storms take away the absence of 

My blistering cries.
