There’s Still Time

There’s a stretch in your chest how much time do you have left Will you accomplish all you want to? The dream you had the one you loved all the things that haven’t come true There’s still time my love you’ve got time The sun hasn’t set on you there’s plenty of time Take a breath you ain’t done yet You’ll find your way there’s plenty of time There’sContinue reading “There’s Still Time”

Self-rejection

Self-rejection sounds like the great name for a poem, but my own self-doubt won’t even permit me to pen a few awkward lines. I lock a chain on my words even before they have a chance to form in my mind, trek down my arm and through my fingers. I’m annoyed at my inability to forgettheContinue reading “Self-rejection”

Internal Wars

Swarming, Swarming Crawling inside me  My thoughts scratch along my veins Becoming chains. Drowning, Drowning Underneath all my failures I’ve been in this place before So insecure Looking in the mirror The pressure is so severe, Time to eliminate those thoughts Before I disappear; I will not hold myself hostage And become a prisoner ofContinue reading “Internal Wars”
