My lips smile, hiding the storm in my eyes So they won’t ask- About the holes in my heart, that threaten to fill me Or the fire in my soul, that threatens to consume me

Haunted Dreams
My dreams, are haunted by figures shaped with regret and pain, that waits for me to fall unconscious
Betray
Sometimes I wonder If my Eyes Give away The feelings I hide And the words I don’t say
Strong
Sometimes At night I stare At nothing Thinking How this Will make Me stronger Feeling Like I’m Tired Of my strength
Unprepared
I never knew That an image Could cause, Physical pain I never thought A memory Would make, Me choke on air I never felt That loosing you Should be, Happening now
No Breath
Who knew That sorrow Felt like air Being sucked From you chest Until You could not Breathe or speak Or find rest
Regret
Summer sun slips Beneath a field of blue And with every star Comes memories of you Wind pushes through, Branches packed with leaves I’m lost in the view As each part of me grieves The moon shines bright, Bathing me in it’s glow Lost in the night I wonder, do you know…
Conflict
You feel, Like Home And- Like pain All at once
Inside
My lips are numb From speaking The same words Over and over My head pounds From trying To reason Again and again My heart aches From feeling So alone Day after day
For Women
I like to imagine A world changed Without glass ceilings A system, rearranged I like to imagine Our daughters freed, From limitations That held you and me I like to imagine These aren’t dreams And the world may be Better than it seems
