Breathe In Cages
“Memories exist outside of time” Words quoted, not stolen “Even though I can swim, I always seem to drown.” Words fumbled, not folded. “Even when I am erased from your sight, I will remain in your heart” Words rehearsed, not genuine. “You will die with a smile” Truth spilled in tongues Words robbed of their…

I Wanna Be The Girls: Being Bestie-less In Your Twenties
I wanna be girls, the besties on tv. Sunday sitting, flipping magazines, on a warm beach, baking in the sun. Dreaming bout the women That we’d one day become. I wanna be girls Where our minds link like glue whatever I’m on ur down to do. Share a headset the preview’s soundproof But will check…

There I Am
I’ve heard it said. “Wherever you go, There you are.” Across so many moons I’ve tried to run, To run from myself. The race was fruitless, For “Wherever you go, There you are.” In India, Nepal, and even Laos I thought I’d lose myself, But instead, I found Another side of me, For “Wherever you…

Standing here, I remember the times Those times when my heart soared, In them, you were the melody A melody that never faded Now all there is just silence A silence deafening beyond time. Writing for you was my awakening Now in this slumber I can’t dream, Your touch was my medicine But now I’m…

The Women’s Time
I am woman, hear me scream, Bursting every manmade seam, Sewn tight to keep me out, Unprepared for my shrill shout. Your final days are coming near. Our time to rule is finally here. Centuries usurped by men Has brought us to damnation, Wreaking war around the world, Fear, hate, greed unfurled, Love lost for…

Fly High
Oh, fly high Like a beautiful butterfly With the wings of hope And dreams of youth You have to fly high There’s so much to see There’s so much to do Oh, you have to fly high Gather all your hope And make wings of it To fly after the dreams To catch them all…

Dark Realms Of The Soul
In a sky full of stars, I would stare at the darkness. It’s a rough reflection of my heart. I would rather stare at the clearness of the night, It reflects how lonely my life truly is. No contacts on my phone. No one to hold when the night is turning cold. No one to…

To The Little Girl I Once Was
Every time a doubtful thought appears, I think back to the little girl I once was. The little girl with big brown eyes who looked at the world with awe. The little girl who believed every dream she held was possible. The little girl who couldn’t wait to meet the woman I would become. The…
