Forgiveness is an old Goddess Her skin is leathery and torn Her smile though knowingly sweet Kindles bitterness When she grows horns Her teeth turn into fangs And her mouth gushes with dragonly fire Her pardon so often abused Has become the tool of twisted liars And so she summons her children: Humility, Remorse, andContinue reading “Forgiveness”

Will Monotony Ever be Murdered?
My pen cries Its vapid tears beat against melting windows while they drum against the pane The same rhythm formed As the vowels of these words corrupt The suceptibility of White paper Purged of ink And swimming in the carelessness of Unconsciousness Does life mean to care? Or does it run us careworn? Do inanimateContinue reading “Will Monotony Ever be Murdered?”
A Love Poem to Yourself
How long have you spent hiding behind closed doors? Just waiting… For the day you could fnally be yourself How many days has it been since you’ve shed The flowered scales that disguise your honesty The ones that help you grow lies on the roof of your mouth Just so your audience would coo inContinue reading “A Love Poem to Yourself”
Defying Tradition
I am enslaved by the standards of society Beauty and perfection oppress me Dangling like ropes before my eyes They are nooses that will be strung If I disobey I am bound and gagged Watching the handsome millionaires Prominent politicians Stunning models Climb what we call the ladder of “Success” And carve their names intoContinue reading “Defying Tradition”
On Stereotypes

My Purpose
This is a collection of two poems I have been working on lately. The second one is a continuation of the first. Let me know what you think. New page New stage A clueless audience in A twisted game Words wander like the wretched waren of a childhood bedtime story Watership Down Up and aboundContinue reading “My Purpose”
Excitement
Though I have been writing frequently, none of my poems have been post-worthy recently. This poem that I wrote the other day, somehow stood out to me. It just appeared out of nowhere. Let me know what you think:) Excitement Is like a tangerine Orange zest grating against the Bitterness of the Gyrating words thatContinue reading “Excitement”
Starting Over;
No More A Castle of Glass Some people never know That as the towers crash and burn and The foreboding crow utters its furious cry You’re the mystical queen hiding in the rubble Faltering as you learn How to truly try Others may never notice the way your hands tremble They only appreciate your gracefulContinue reading “Starting Over;”
