you tell me you don't like poetry. that you prefer a messy text with bad grammar but authentic emotion. and I smile and tell you that my poetry is a lot like that, a list of drunk texts at 2 am I never sent the person I wrote them for. minus the bad grammar. but authentic emotion? but words that aren't pompous? expression that's human? that's what my poetry is. and now at close to 2 am, I want to send you some texts. authentic emotion. lower caps. lacking punctuation perhaps. but what would I say? I'm not drunk. and I'm not in love. maybe one day you will read my poetry and wonder if in another universe we would know each other better and how wonderfully authentic that would be, how spectacularly human.

I crave to be held with delicacy. Like how u will hold a newborn. Or a weak flower. Or a glass bowl. Cause the world has made me equally fragile

Home, you remind me of home,
If it was a living and breathing entity,
Maybe if it was a face,
Maybe if it was the junction,
At which the lines of my hands meet.
The chaotic tranquility of a voice perhaps?
Simple places of refuge,
I find myself going back to even though,
Not looking back was the only promise I ever made.
Ghosts of the past seem like angels when I
Hopelessly daydream of us at night.
Gazing at you reminds me of home, of
Rain and chamomile tea and honey, of
Evenly cut pictures on my vision board. So
Why do you always go away, when
All I can think of is clutching at your very essence,
Love, you remind me of home, but I am a wanderer.

You saw me at my worst and still swore I was the best you've ever had. I wish I could've looked at me through your eyes.

Someone I thought to be a friend once told me I was like an open book in a dead and forgotten language.
As another once said, "I feel as if I'm made to understand but not to be understood."
In other words, I was open to her, but she did not care to read me.
I'm too tired to be upset

What can you possibly threaten me with? Cut me---and I will bleed poems. Skin me----and I will uncover unseen phases of history. Strangle me---I will perish with the smile of a believer. My art is my armor. I may be buried, but I won't die.

i just want to be enough
i just want to be enough
i just want to be your love
if you were mine, and i yours
could this be? since we’re a p a r t
i just want to hold your heart
even when it feels like i
am f a r t h e r than the stars above
even if darkness engulfed
long distance ? can we adjust?
texts, calls (thank you internet)
but do you think it’s enough?
what if our screens begin to
dimmen, will we then forget?
in the universe i entrust
can i still be your girl crush?
women like women, i blush
i gush and i gush, o h f u c k
i just want to be enough
i just want to be enough
i just want to be your love
— my worried love fills the page
@ 2:18 am (hgw)

there's a weird calm in knowing that you're not important
everyone knows about the sadness, the nights spent at home while your friends post selfies with people they surely like better
everyone know about the emptiness, the nights spent at home staring at the wall wishing you were someone, anyone, else
but no one talks about the calmness, the nights spent at home alone, no new messages no missed calls
this has always been your reality and it always will be, so you might as well learn to find the peace in it

Kids, you can be lost into so many emotions that you'd wish nothing for yourself except a long sleep. It's a part of you that you're scared of. Sometimes we go through hell and back experiences that changes our perspectives about life forever. So kids, if there's 2AM ticking on the clock and you are lost into storm of emotions, make sure you go to sleep. Because nothing good happens after 2AM.

i was supposed to kill myself today,
February 14, 2023.
it’s rainy today,
dark and dreary out.
the perfect day for me to go missing,
never make it to class or to work.
i was supposed to down a bottle of pills with vodka,
after eating things i’ve denied myself for the sake of being skinny.
i was supposed to use a rope and allow myself to swing freely,
like a child on a play set.
i was supposed to use my blades to carve deep into my skin,
watching blood bubble up to the surface.
i was supposed to stand in front of an oncoming train,
and let the impact take me away.
i was supposed to press a gun
to my temple,
or stick the barrel in my mouth,
or to pressed tightly to my chest.
i was supposed to kill myself today.
i was supposed to leave a note in my dorm,
detailing that i couldn’t go on like this.
lay out my heart all right there readily visible to the person that found me first.
i was supposed to leave a note at home to be found later.
my note was supposed to
detail
every single
horrible thing i’ve ever made it through
and every horrible thought i’ve had.
i was supposed to leave a bunch of notes
separate from the other,
to the individuals in my life i’d be letting down.
to say i’m sorry
for all the things i’ve done
to let them down.
and to tell them it’s not their fault,
i was already gone.
that i’ve been dead for years.
because it’s true,
i have.
im not ok, and i really haven’t been.
not in a long long time.
and i know it’s horrible
to make parents bury their children,
and grandparents bury their grandchildren,
but it’s also horrible to be
in just so much pain.
i was supposed to kill myself today.
but i’m still here.
February 14, 2023.

Rebellion doesn't always mean violence, war and blood shed. Sometimes it means insisting on staying soft. It means refusing to turn bitter and angry. It means forgiving when it feels impossible to forgive. It means not holding any grudges or resentment when getting hurt. It means turning pain into lessons and growth. It means being kind and gentle when times are tough. It means showing compassion instead of indifference. It means giving up on saving appearance but being real and raw instead. It means being unapologetically yourself. It means accepting your emotions, not letting them consume you. It means returning hate with love. It means pursuing light even in the darkest times. It means finding joy in the smallest things. Rebellion means being human.

Poetry.
Some design their inks to caress
Their pages. Delicately write with their
Imaginative calming oceans
Yet, I embrace my thunderstorms
Causing terror, potent written
Emotions
Mayhems jotted down in order.
As ink drips from my eyes
As the storms pass,
My cloudy mind clears.
Words commence blooming.
Tangled vines seize any scattered thoughts.
Merely an empty mind remains.
Yet, seeping rage soaks the
Brittle Pages. It is too feeble even to whisper.
My poetry.
