In his arms, the world aligns just right,
A place where heartbeats synchronize in the quiet night.
The hustle fades, the stress melts away,
In his arms, it’s easier to face the day.

Under open skies or beneath the city lights,
His embrace cuts through the coldest nights.
A gentle strength, a quiet might,
With him, even the darkest…read more

In the vast silence where words once failed,
Among shadows where fears prevailed,
You, so young with steps unsure,
A silent fighter, pure and demure.

Born into a world unkind, you struggled to find your voice,
A journey not chosen, but imposed without a choice.
Nonverbal, delayed, they labeled you, placing limits they saw fit,
But…read more

Birds still chirp their fucking hearts out on crap days,
Like a karaoke star who’s totally lost his way.
And flowers? They’re gatecrashing funerals with sass,
Whispering, “Was it our fucking fragrance, perhaps?”

People scatter when shit really starts to hit the fan,
Quicker than I say “fuck it” to my diet plan.
But the ride-or-dies? They stick…read more

They said I’d burn, but I found my fire,
Defying the limits of their uninspired mire.
Tales of a perfect life, a distant, elusive dream,
Yet here I stand, my reality upstream.

Solving my Rubik’s with time, each turn a surprise,
The colors align in ways they couldn’t visualize.
A mosaic of triumph, far beyond their design,
A life that’s unfolding,…read more

In a town where promises are plenty and the government hands out aid,
A question echoes softly, under the shade.
“Why try hard, why aim high, when help is just a call away?
Why bother with the struggle, if you’re okay day by day?”

The government says, “We’ll help you, keep you safe and fed,
You won’t need to worry, we’ve got your back,” they…read more

In the intricate fabric of life, both dark and bright threads intertwine,
Weaving a story of joy and sorrow, uniquely mine.
No single moment shines so bright,
But every hue blends just right.

From peaks of joy, where hearts soar free,
To valleys deep, where eyes barely see,
Each step, each stumble, and each stride,
Together, they guide me…read more

During my nights facing failures stare
I discovered myself ensnared wandering in a daunting labyrinth.
My freshman year, a nightmare, with grades dismal,
A future so bleak it seemed to extinguish my passion.

The phone would ring, its updates a blow
Each call clinging harshly to my mother’s heart.
Alone, in the darkness of night tears would…read more

We chase the dream of a perfect day,
But imperfections won’t go away.
In this world of chaos, we stumble and sway,
Yet beauty hides in the mess we create.

Laughter echoes, but tears fall too,
In every hello, there is a goodbye too.
The sun shines bright, but my shadows loom,
In every moment, a story’s hidden gloom.

We quest for control, but…read more

I am not a parent but I want to be one day today that ability to birth my own changed

In the quiet of the night, within my soul
I felt like a shattered bottle, burdened by misfortune
now fragmented on the ground
With dreams of motherhood pushed aside.

Tumors, occupants of my body
Whispering fear like a consuming fire.
My body, a…read more
