Desire
The lot of us who avoid it,Versus the ones of us who are constantly chasing it,It complicates things so much,Pursuits that will never bear fruit,Seeking out whom and what they cannot have, Promising things they will never be able to provide,Shunning the hearts within reach for the ones they can never obtain,Mixing feelings with pursuits…

Fissures
The type of crack that goes undetected, But can still cause harmThin, Understated and silent,Lies under the surface for lengths of time unknown,Then on its own timing, It will push to the front, Damaging everything in its path,Shattering its surroundings,Slithering away, As it watches you crumble into pieces as it goes on to its next…

I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 8: Intimacy
Let’s talk intimacy, but not the kind you’re used to hearing about. As I’ve slowly began to lightly dip my toe back into the dating game ( and I mean lightly ), it has gotten me thinking about the foundational things I am looking for.

Feeling stronger on my own,…

Unanchored
Restless and floating,A square piece in a round hole.So many circling thoughts,With the crushing realization of no one to moor me,There are parts of me in so many places,I don’t know what I have left for myself,Who am I, except neither here nor there?In the middle,Dancing between what I want and what others want,Following the…

I Wonder…
I wonder if you realise the pain you cause me, When you brush me aside so callously, Every time I take the time to tell you something, And you barely pay attention, I wonder if you realise the pang it shoots through me, When I offer myself, And you barely notice or even still- shoot…

I realise upon writing this blog post, that the title might come as a shock to some of my close friends and some family members- that’s mainly because it’s been one of the biggest secrets I have held on to in my life. I wish I could say it wasn’t a highly kept secret or…

Close your eyes.Really close your eyes.What have you lost?What have you cut off?What paths that you chose brought you here?What paths were chosen for you? Close your eyes.Really close your eyes.Is this…
