If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

42 poems·Since July 2015

Find me where the heart beats faster and the mind runs clearly. If you turn around, you might catch a glimpse of moonlight: Hold it close and you may hear the whispers of my aches and dreams. Speak softly now, you might scare the strength out of me. You'll never know where my thoughts will go next, just let me be the one driving this journey. Someday I'll return to the stars and sleep in the void, a place where I hope to find colors I've never seen before. And when I master the art of painting into the galaxies of pain and recovery, I will discover the truth in me. I will be free, I will be free. Let the constellations tattoo the spaces of my body. ***If you ever want me to check out your poetry, feel free to let me know!***

Computer Work

July 27, 2015
My life is full of glaring screens,
And I should possibly know what they mean?
Deadlines, headings, scores --
They're all just one giant bore.
But then again
It's all for the work, I suppose.
Because in the end,
This world is only for those
Who apparently glares the best,
Never looking down at the chest
Or up at a bird's nest.
But it's no wonder our necks are so stiff:
We never realize that the wind 
Is floating adrift,
Higher than our eyes can ever go.
So flow, flow, flow
And take it all in --
Why do we all have the need to win?
Let the network of vision begin, begin, begin.
