There is nothing worth saying right nowWe have been stripped of our freedoms time & time againI am a caged bird who refuses to singI am bored and restless and anxious for the future.Others are wondering how they’ll pay their rent or buy foodand I’ve been there, albeit for different reasonsI know it’s hard andContinue reading “there’s no place like….”

what doesn’t kill you
Grief is a big feelingthat comfortably stretches out over timeexpanding & contractingunable to be contained She will consume you if you let herthe deep dark cavernous hallsshe’ll show you deep inside The fire burnsbut does she devour inwards or outwardswhat is life without suffering,the perfect partner to pleasure My tears they fall like rainand yetContinue reading “what doesn’t kill you”
hot hot heat
The casual caliente nature that is evoked by the sounds of a Spanish guitarFeeling the soft, sticky hot breeze.A lick of my salty smooth skin. My hips move to the music,the way the leaves sway gently in the wind.I glisten, I glow. A warmth, a devilish nature.I’ve always had this thing inside me;burning passion readyContinue reading “hot hot heat”
reflections on being
I struggle to write the right thing,always concerned with if I sounddeep enough, consumable enoughlike, would I like this if I read it on instagram? Is it relatable enough? Trendy enough?Did I reference the right thing? Do I have the right problems?Or is it just obvious and contrived. Is this my inner critic?Or a glimpseContinue reading “reflections on being”

You know those teen movies you know the ones that eternal summer dripping popsicles scuffed up converse running around the carnival lana del rey playing in the background thinking that life is hard not knowing how hard it really is that us against the world mentality filmed in gritty 90s tint the drugs and theContinue reading “teenage dreams”

The air is fresh andContinue reading “spring reverie”

love letter to the universe
There is something innately peaceful abouta snowy field in the middle of the night.You can really hear your thoughts,hear them sync up with the pulse of the universe. I look out across the roaming vista,inhaling the frigid air into my icy lungsI am both exactly where I should be,and somehow, nowhere at all. The windContinue reading “love letter to the universe”
wildfire girl
She is a wildfire,who doesn’t care who she burns downon her quest to self-destruct. A raging fire can be a beautiful thing,so full of life and yetit so savagely destroys, as well. Her flames burn crimson red and deep ochre,even violent blue, not a solemn blue,though sometimes it may seem so. Sadness can be destructiveContinue reading “wildfire girl”
Lettre D’amour pour le Ciel
*reads a bit of Baudelaire & thinks she can write poems in french* Shout out to google docs for editing this for me. I don’t think I’ve ever written in french outside of school and maybe the occasional instagram caption so don’t roast me too hard… Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais quelquefois,mon attention seraitContinue reading “Lettre D’amour pour le Ciel”
