reality is very jarring
it's so different from my books
I love the escape
all the different worlds I can experience
so much better than reality

I’m a doer.
That’s just what I do.
I’ve done so much
And still got much to do.

Life is strange ,when
Sitting here doing nothing
Puts me in a strain.

Tired of the pivoting
And changing

The doing
Is never ending.

I’m no longer a kid.
I care what people think of me;
the way I act,
the way I look,
the clothes I wear.

I’m no longer a kid.
Back then, letters were only building blocks used for spelling,
Why do they now mark the corner of my work?
Why do they determine my academic future?

I’m no longer a kid.
My tears are no longer spilled over a grazed knee
For now they pour over anxious thoughts-
Will they ever stop falling?

I'm no longer a kid.
We were told to be bodies full of kindness,
because everyone deserves love.
Why are some people treated differently?

I’m no longer a kid.
The world has opened up it’s true self to me
and now I drown in it.

i am in a dark room
standing.

i look around
papers are flying everywhere
in the dark.

the dark room is my mind,
and the papers
are my thoughts.

i couldn’t take it.
i had to write them down.

Some days, I smile and I don’t know why,
Other days, I sit and just let time slide by.
Coffee gets cold, texts go unread,
Thoughts spinning circles inside my head.

Some days, I win little fights with my doubt,
Other days, I barely crawl out.
But I breathe, I try, I take one more stride
And that, for today, is enough on my side.

Speak completely
Don't skip, you'll stumble, upon your words
And when you choke, you will turn
Away your face in shame and defeat
Speak completely.


Speak completely.
For when you hide your words
Your tongue will weaken
The life in your eyes will fade away.
And all you exhale is what you wanted to say.
Speak completely.


Speak completely
For your thoughts will crowd and collect
Inside of your head.
Swimming and swirling
Waiting to be said.
You try to ignore them
But they keep you up as you lie in bed.
Speak completely.


Speak completely
There are people who listen and care
And think and share your thoughts.
Please don't be scared to
Speak completely.


Speak completely
because the world goes on
While you remain reserved
Without ever knowing
Who you were.
Speak completely.


Speak completely
For your words are powerful, bright, and beautiful.
You could meet people
who find you fascinating and gifted.
Your words could carry you far and high
away from your dismal disposition.


But you are the one
who hides in a cave
And drowns yourself in echoes.


But you are the one
who hides in a cave
And drowns yourself in echoes.


who hides in a cave
And drowns yourself in echoes.


And drowns yourself in echoes.


In echoes.


Echoes.
