Everyone is busy
making plans for a party
Here I am
convincing myself to go to therapy.

I can feel fire at my fingertips
the heat of all I want to do
it coalesces before me
forging myself into who I want to be
finally seeing clearly,
wiping clean the fogged mirror:
WHO I AM.

I am everything I’ve ever wanted to be
and still, I am not yet all that I’ve dreamed to be

that hope for more
is the best part.
Old
Is
Gold
Gold
Is
A
Goal?....

I’ll never love anybody the way I loved you
That version of me
soft blind and all in
is gone
But don’t mistake my healing for bitterness
You didn’t ruin me
You revealed me
That scar
It’s where I began again
Stronger
Sharper
Wiser
Not the same
Never again
I became someone even I didn’t expect
And I owe that to the pain
you left behind
I often wonder —

What is more painful:

to lose someone you once had,

                      or

to never have anyone to lose?

Stars looked like glowing sands
Down here—far, far below;
Cities too radiate a blinding hope
Gazed beyond the fields and hills;
Beauty oozes out of a distant thing,
Meter and miles allures the mind.
I have lost her love.
I look for her in words—
the words that fill pages
of my stolen diary.

She has a few good days.
She fell in love.
His honey words
made her forget her fear.

He left.
And so did she.

I have lost her love.
I see glimpses of it
when I cook pasta.
In dance, in sweat—
I see it in my eyes.

She seems so far away.
I have lost her love.

In a world full of  chaos, strive and pain
The best thing to do.
Is stay in your lane.
Being true to your self.
