i find that i write the best
just after a fight
just after i've cried
just after the tears have fallen

doesn't matter what story it is
happy, sad, mysterious
funny, tragic, ridiculous
i will always write it well

because any story i write
after a fight, after i've cried
is a story that gives me the most comfort
because any fiction

is better than this.
my one wish is
to find someone
who sees the world
as beautiful as i do
with their mouth
preaching poetic beauty
as i have once done
to all the boys
i have loved
satan was his favorite angel
and he still let him fall
then what's the hope for the rest of us
a dead line receiving a desperate call

Here you are,
even now,
bruised but alive,
s̶u̶r̶v̶i̶v̶o̶r̶

at what point does one
become tired of living
and simply exist
first ever haiku :)
believing you're nothing
so you treat yourself like nothing
waking up realizing
this is what you wanted
but you just wanted to make someone feel good
since all it seems like you do is fail
a steep price for a broken solution
to a problem you could've fixed
by being honest with yourself
why couldn't you just be wrong
now nothing is alright

I wonder if I really am kind hearted.
Most people think it’s true,
But maybe I’m just afraid of being mean-
Maybe I’m afraid of being you.

we do not write poetry
we write mirrors
which are held up
to curious faces
who read
looking for their
own reflections
