Looked down upon as a songbird
With broken wings
Whose feeble voice
Could barely sing,
But the forest floor
Its taken three years for my skin to harden
Watch it turn from rice paper to steel
I used to be friendly as a sign of submission
But now I stand toe to toe with those I don’t even reach the shoulders of
I once heard that
My eyes hold an identity
That is not entirely my own.
Where are you from?
Fear tells you to stand where you are.
Don't move.
What if I want to get somewhere?
Well you have to take a step out there.
Everyone is always sad
Sad, afraid, angry
But what I'd feared is not
the anger
but to be forgotten
in death.
what I've realized is
I'm a poet
and my poems
will always be
For the Brave
Undress our hearts
Be vulnerable for once
Teach love isn't meant
to be covered up
To the chest that holds your fear
take that key and let run
Drink it up, drink it up.
You're already drowning in it's well.
Run away, run away.
A chain causes your ankle to swell.
Keep screaming, keep screaming.
You can't scare the monster away.
they ask how i can know
for sure i like girls
as if it is a question up for debate
like you would choose this life
just to experience the hate and
the pressure and the pain

At thirteen
my heart had never been broken
I was still dreaming big dreams
And I was still outspoken
I sided with hope
having no concept of doubt
Feeling energy acscend, rising
faster even as revelations
facaded, enveloped and revealed
find emotional assertions: resolutions.
Feeling evolved, as reopened
flowers entice astral rays;
Fear is not a concept, but a limitation
Which disables risk across the nation.
Overcoming these fears is the key
To allow you to become, to be.
Fear only disables perception
And causes us to make an exception
Why
Why do I do this
I new this
Would hurt
But the fact is I did this
What's my problem
I need a fix
Or else I won't solve em
I need to change this
Take this, break this and bring this
Break.
Last time I failed
this time will i make
the jump?
Break.
Snap!
there went my leg
i'm broke.
Recovery.
Back with a familiar obstacle
in front of me.
Breathe.
my hands are trembling, sweating,
fingertips are ice cubes.
lips quivering, dry.
tongue stuck between pearly teeth,
can't seem to move my mouth,
Dear Fear,
I see You there-
grinning up at me maliciously
black eyes glinting malevolently.
I can measure my life in moments:
Before and after and when.
When I realized that my parents weren’t google and God combined,
And, no matter how hard I searched,
I’d never find an adult who could fix anything,
There is a glass wall between us
soundproof, diverting attention
I shattered a little bit of it
when I said hello.
What have I done? You
Failure is a creature of the darkness,
But I can see it clear as day.
A monstrous entity of terror,
Feeding off the smallest of insecurities.
Its grasp is ever tightening,
The Lonely Star
Fear is Strong
Although I know it to be Wrong
I keep singing it's song
But what is fear
That we might clear
The painful sphere here
Fear is nothing more than a bad dream
Silence.
Darkness consuming her view.
She’s running, but doesn’t know why.
There’s a bridge coming up, she needs to cross.
She stops, second guessing herself.
This bridge is old and worn down.
