Can’t Breathe

Anxiety doesn’t know whose bed you’re in.

On Munchkins and Smiles

He was surrounded by strangers, they were

family, but he was four, they adults.

During my childhood, I was seen, not heard.

Sitting next to him I said, “Hi, Batman!”

He looked at his shirt, looked at me and smiled.

Cower

Enraptured

Torture

Self oppression

Suffocating

Unnerved wreck

The blossom unfolds

as the sun nurtures. A babe

is loved and matures.

When it is too cold

my feet are turning blue.

I suppose my heart is

ever since you left

coloured blue too

Fun Find

“Black, no sugar.”

Umbrella broke,

may as well wait.

Romantic spot.

Coming back soon.

From out of all he chose me

to; out of nowhere I lost him

Me vs. Me

Brand new day.

I get to

make a change!

But what of

incessant

thoughts that haunt.

Bringing them

to the light,

facing them.

Even the

scariest

demons run

when exposed

before the

well-lit truth.

He Wasn’t the Best at Anything

He certainly wasn't the best at anything, though he tried. It's something, perhaps, that he was best at: trying. He tried many things. He'd probably wish he tried more. But the one thing, I think we can all agree, he definitely should not have tried...was to wrestle that alligator.

A Broken Commandment

What is the price of a beautiful moment?

I have carved a false idol out of myself—an image wrapped in perfect lighting and practiced angles.

Like it. Share it. Praise this thing which I have made. This thing which bears no resemblance to its maker.
