Shining with colors so bright
And pure, just like you.

The Words That I Don't Say

Incessant silence ebbs throughout the room from me to you. Anger seethes from you to me which feeds into the hollow quiet. Merciless stakes of words jab repeatedly into my skin and probe me into a permanent tight lip. Secrets continue to bubble beneath the surface as they beg to spill forth. Opening up old wounds that had only begun to scar over. Regrets of the past and present continue to haunt my minds and threaten to spill. Repetition of self hatred and disgust toward myself only beckons me to shut out the rest of the world. Your words may reach me, but I am the one that is not responding as this hand only tightens around my neck.

1. her sunset hair all hell-bound and flickering like the memories of us at 2:00am trying to spark a liver-fire. she never screamed. That’s what’s different about us: I’m all lungs and April droughts, cracking, until the showers bloom cornered in my eyes, and I praise God. I praise God. she quivers in a humid silence.

My Life Story Isn't A Poem

This is what it feels like to crumble down in a blazing squall. You are muffled gunshots wrecking yourself in high speed collision with his brass armor. You compress every eruption by choking ashes and swallowing shatter glasses because god forbid you are a frostbitten girl with hitched breath and messed up mascara and god forbid you are explosive and god forbid you crumble down because no, you are an inspiration and you are clenched fist and sculpted chest, you are concrete and you are statue, you are the ice cold dusk and YOU DON

Why Books Suck

Let me write you a story of all you want to hear. Of intercourse and romance, drugs and beer. Of simple plots and story devices, where no thinking is required. I'll even make it into a series, everything you've desired. Pick it up in the middle, why not? It's all the same. So-and-so get together, there's sex on every page. It's the best story in the world, and it only took me six days! Don't worry about morals, there's none to be learned. If you hate life-long lessons, then enjoy every word. The characters are flat with the basic of descriptions, with no voice of their own. If one dies, no tears will be shed, there's another just arou

to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub.

i. to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub: in the magazine I own that published your story, they blurred out the crime scene photographs, erasing your face and the full curves of your breasts. some part of me wonders if you would have wanted this, or if you would have liked for the public to see you in your final moments, half-soaked in grey-looking water, your hair in strings, glued to the porcelain, eyes closed and mouth gaping, no breath stirring, no bubbles rising. ii. sometimes when I look into the depths of my bathroom sink, I hear your voice (or what I imagine it to be-- after all, we never met). you sit on the edge

letter to an ember.

if I could say anything to the me of four years ago, it would be "brush your hair." and also, "clean up your eyeliner, you look like an emo raccoon," and also, "there are other colors besides black, didn't you get the memo?" I would then follow it up by telling you that your writing sucks, and that you will one day throw out all of the journals you currently hold so dear. but that's okay. I'm not the first to spit such venom in your ear and I will not be the last. the good thing is that you will keep writing no matter what I tell you and no matter how much the smoke of old words stings your eyes. I've always admired your tenacity, kid. n

dear katie.

i. yesterday you felt the first heartache that really mattered. now you've become a virgin painted black biting your lip and cultivating your bitterness. but Katie, Katie, it's not the last time. you're gonna wind up with bloodied knees more times than you can count, and you're gonna spend many nights that leave old-road potholes dripping into your pillows. You're gonna panic and almost crash your car. you're gonna say infinite hellos and goodbyes in the span of a moment and at times you will feel like an apple tree planted in a jam jar, crushed and misplaced. but Katie, I'd be lying if I said you won't grow. ii. you were wrong every ti

letters on leaving.

i wrote my first suicide letter in 10th grade. they told me it didn't count if you felt like dying unless you had it down on paper like a vetoed birth certificate. i've rewritten it enough times since to realize i could never leave with a proper goodbye. goodbye is too heavy a word for paper to hold and i was never brave enough for the kind of courage it takes to tell them why. why they weren't enough to keep me here. but i'm finally learning a different kind of bravery- the kind it takes to stay. stay. i learned to wear death like rope burn my junior year my senior year we became friends but i finally stopped cutting the insides of wrist

This Is Not A Prayer

God I write this to you, This is not a prayer Not such an inconsequential waste of air, No, no I can hardly breathe From on all the prayers Wasted on your ears, Nor stand... From how long I've knelt at your feet. This is a letter Sent from a grieving sinner Written Whilst still clutching the hand You stole from him From me. Two hands ,in fact, One so small I hardly noticed When it ceased clutching me. I write this to ask Not to pray As prayers seem to have no worth to you Surely not mine at least. I ask only That you return them to me. Let me clutch these hands So tightly Till they might return my grasp. Because as I am right now I dou

Depression

Trapped in darkness, Like a tiny box closing in, choking me. They call it nothing, But we few sufferers call it depression, A black gaping hole in our lives, They call it attention seeking, we call it life
