Toxic Liquid
Today i’m feeling something not so sweet
Something bubbly
But not too bubbly
I’m only going to drink a few
Just going to relax
A few go down and i’m finally starting to feel confident
Confident enough to almost,
Almost feel comfortable in my own skin
So i drink another
I’m feeling light
I’m almost feeling pretty
Drink another sip
Woah,
Another one empty
I sit there,
Empty handed
I look around,
I feel like i can almost belong somewhere
I grab another
It glides down my throat,
No objection
I’m feeling good
I feel light and happy
Who cares if i can belong,
Or do
I am me
I am good as i am
I tip back another one
The pain from the past is there,
Bearable and ever so present
Tip it back some more
No i don’t want to remember that
No i don’t want to feel that
Drink some more,
It’ll all go away
Find that happy medium
It’s there, i swear it is
More liquid gold glides down my throat
Tip toeing on the darkness
It’s there,
Acknowledge it
But don’t succumb to it
Just a little more
You’re fine, Just fine
Dancing
And singing
Time of your life
Smiles everywhere
Everyone is where they belong
You look down
Your hand shakes
You look around
Get a hold of yourself
You’re fine
You find it harder and harder to believe in your own smile
It starts to fade
Tip back some more
The darkness is there
You’re surrendering
It feels so good
But so bad
It’s got a hold
But you refuse the hands around your neck
Sip back some more
Boom
You’re lost
In the past,
in the unknown
The darkness has you
You allow it
Drink some more
Feel less
Yet feel it all at once
A mac truck
Demolishing everything in it’s wake
You’re gone
Too far gone
Blank stare
Wobble this way,
Wobble that way.
No one likes you,
You don’t even like yourself
Take another sip
Who cares
No one cared from the start
Too far gone,
A black cloud overtaking yet again
Letting yourself subside
Storm clouds rain throughout your head
The thunder demands to be felt
Your consciousness rattles
The lightening strikes
A florescent blue blinding you
Leaving nothing but darkness in its wake

Moments I Find You Most Beautiful
When you are washing dishes, I’ve concluded that this is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen you. The faraway look in your eyes, or the quiet humming of tunes I soon won’t remember, that’s when I find you the most beautiful.
No, when you are reading a book with glasses perched high upon the bridge of your nose underneath the glow of the yellow light, that’s the most beautiful I’ve ever seen you. The way your mouth forms choked up words upon your throat, or the cute pout that makes way when you’re in deep concentration, that’s when I find you the most beautiful.
Or maybe I find you the most beautiful when your eyes turn into crescent moons and your laugh fills the room quietly, then all at once. Your once stoic face now takes on one of joy and happiness as you try to cover your smile— which I love by the way— with the palms of your delicate hands.
I’d love to stick by your side for as long as I can, and continue to pick out moments of when I find you the most beautiful than anything I’ve ever witnessed.

the pain was unbearable
the weight I carried wouldn’t allow me to walk
it was like jumping into the water
knowing that you can’t swim
and letting yourself sink to the bottom.
no one saw me drowning
no one saw me crawling in my skin
i did what society said
i put on a mask and didn’t let anyone in
no one saw it
and you can’t save someone that doesn’t want to be saved
and you can’t fix something that is beyond broken
i was kept hostage in my own mind
“think happy thoughts” they all said
but I can’t think of the fireflies in mason jars that I used as night lights
without being reminded
why I was so afraid of the dark

Begin Again!
Begin again,
A billion times if you must,
Reinvent yourself,
Learn to live in love with life,
Grow to acknowledge, accept,
In your abilities trust.
Reach for the stars,
Cliche, And yet what one should do,
Your best version capable of anything,
Begin again,
Let go of the mistakes and recreate you!

Unrequited Love lingers in the vastness… Yes this is true. However the ONLY love that matters is the love of SELF!!! Remember that and there is no love that will ever be unrequited! #2021vision #2021 #love #loveyourself #loveislove #lovequotes #haiku #reflection #refreshing #self #poetry #poetinthemaking #quarantine #quarantinelife #teti #wcw #wce #poetsofinstagram #change #soulsearching #light #blackgirlmagic #lovehaiku #lovepoet #lovepoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CWYXRF3Ldhe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Instead of searching for love
Search for yourself because even
That’s easier than searching
For something that doesn’t
Want to be found.

Exhausting!
This journey can be exhausting, Fighting everyday to stay alive, Keeping your head above tainted water, Walking miles in worn down shoes, Unable in this dark to ever thrive. Battling sleeping demons, Awoken by tear soaked cries, Focused on kidnapping sanity, Holding any happiness hostage, Whispering false hopes and endless lies. This journey can be exhausting, Wanting to be all you can be, Scarred by evil you’ve witnessed, The broken you’ve felt, Determined to let it all go, Exhausted by the journey yet eager to feel free!
