Landscapes

I've lived my life
like an action-packed adventure.
Slowing down only for the occasional
sea, river, or snowscape.
I've yet to learn the value
of taking a break,
of stopping to sit in the...

I Am Nothing

I am nothing.
An artist with an absence of ability,
and a detrimental determination drought.

I am nothing.
A previous poet,
who successfully extirpated any soaring expectations.

I am nothing.
A vast void plays substitute to my stomach,
...

Power

I am so sick of being the victim,
the martyr,
the one needing help.
Egotistical men love a damsel in distress;
they love to buy me a meal
and tell me I'm worth more than I have.
They don't believe that though.
You see
they especially love...

Two Days Before

Two days before
we spoke.
Two days before
I saw you.
Two days before
I should've seen it.
The way you set it up;
you threw the perfect party,
(with the last of your money).
You told us how you loved us,
apologized for everything-
and...

All At Once

Somewhere beyond my skin
lives a reminiscent spirit.
The line between my present
and my past
is narrow and tattered.
All that I've given,
I still have.
All that I've been,
I still...

The Elephant Holding Me Back

So distracted by work,
School,
The elephant,
And when I’m luckiest
Sleep;
I’ve lost my most notable skill.
The ability to absolutely submerge my entire soul into every flower I smell,
Study every face I pass, and fall in love with every bit...

Eventually

I wish that you loved me
In the way that I love you.
The absolute
Unconditional
No matter what
Type of love.
See, for you
I would do anything.
Every piece of my soul
Belongs to you.
Do with it as you please,
But promise me this;
...

Descension

You know they say
Once you hit rock bottom
You can only go up.
But they lied.
See, I've fallen through the floor
landing on the rockiest of bottoms
Time after time.
And after a while,
It gets very old.
I start to climb back up.
I think...
