i’ve begun to realize. that being in love with your reflection. is a common misconception. some search for gold to complete their whole- ness. their soul’s own goodness. yet the pieces of them lay strewn about like thorns stinging the soles of their bare feet. self-love is a vicious venom slowly vacating the very venalContinue reading “The Ghost in the Mirror”

The first time I heard her Name from your lips, Poison rendered me, Speechless My tongue stung with the taste of blood, Wrung out and ragged, By rusty chains The second time I saw you, Meet my eyes My heart fluttered and twirled in, Clandestine disguise It danced in festivity to the shackles draw aroundContinue reading “Something More”

To Abandon your Nation- The first step onto the soil They expect you to say, Your chains were freed, Of that other country That enslaves, And rapes, And underpays. That your wounds were healed, By those who loved with open arms, Who ignored your scars, By this nation that Pays, And prays, And preys, AndContinue reading “One Voice, Three Stories”
