It’s not your time…
Once upon a time There was a young girl She was tired of fighting Tired of feeling ignored Tired of being alone. She tried and tried to be everything they wanted her to be. So she thought, what if there was no me? She sat in the chair of her vanity And looked at the Continue reading

This is me trying
My hands are shaking as I write this. Anxiety. Panic. Depression. All of which have been consuming my emotions this last month. All it took was one moment to trigger my downward spiral. It was this moment that I realized that I needed help. I started with medication, and then did the hard part. I Continue reading

Depression
I am no stranger to the darkness that lives in me. And lately it’s been growing darker and darker, doing its best to engulf me and swallow me whole. I feel it pressing down into my chest, the pain in my veins growing worse with each cry. The darkness inside of me is polluting the Continue reading

The Prologue
The walls are white, a stark difference to the grey skies outside. Death’s chill is seeping through the halls. Or maybe it’s just the draft air conditioning units causing her to shiver.

Time
*Edited from the original written November 9th, 2007 Time Ah, when does it begin? And oh, when does it end? Time It slips through our fingers like sand Always elusive, yet in such demand Time An ever-present companion, fleeting and fast Leaving us longing, hoping it will last Time With every tick of the clock, Continue reading

*This is another original piece from 2008, never published. My soul is trapped in a dark, cold, and empty dungeon There are no windows for the sun to shine in and light my way out. No arms to hold and warm my icy skin. Just empty gloom. No one around to hear my cries. Just Continue reading

SECRETS OF THE WORLD
Intro: I spent this summer visiting family and friends in the states of the first time since I left in 2019. During my visit I found a lot of my old writings that I saved, some in old journals and others on scraps of paper. This poem has always been one of my favorites, originally Continue reading

Dear Reader
Dear Reader, If you’re reading this, you probably made me the villain of your story. I’m not, but if it makes you feel better then I guess I will be. Love bombs and guilt trips won’t gaslight me back to your arms or inbox. You dug your own graves, and the silence you sat in, Continue reading

A darkness lives…
There are things that happen in the world that none of us can really explain or understand. I have always believed in the ghost stories my grandmother told us growing up. The stories of her parents and her grandparents. The ghosts that haunted their homes and my mother when she was young. Supposedly our family Continue reading
About Me
Just your normal millennial trying to make it in this world. I love going to new cities, eating new foods and meeting new people- but I usually prefer the company of my cats. I’m inviting you to come laugh, cry, travel and eat with me on the crazy ride we call adulthood.
