with the fragile beats of your heart
and the cracked sound of your voice
You fought to be this way
You fought when you didn't want to
You fought when you didn't think you could
You fought because you never wanted someone
who looks up to you to think
They can't fight

At some point
I would like you to meet
the real me
Not because you deserve to
but because I'm curious
to see
if you crumble
at the sight
With enough blood
in my system
I'll be able to withstand
the sound of your nasal voice
just long enough
to determine
which of your many...

I know what you did
in a way I can't recover
The story blow by blow
broke the back
of a camel
who spent all of his days
laying in a bed of straw
waiting for it to be over
Watching you try
Try to bury love in any way possible
Trying to be the force that breaks
any re...

You cannot hurt me
if I don't let you
All you were to me
was a better alternative to feeling
Now my veins are bursting
with an unparalleled strength
not only can I defeat you
I have defeated you
so undeniably
that you can't even touch me
or exist near me
I am invisible to you
B...

I don't think you know
what you mean to me
and I have no voice
so I can't tell you
I write in the quiet
between the sentences I would say
if I could talk
but I've forgotten how to sing
You are calm and taciturn
but you have a strength so loud
I could hear the vibrations
for yea...

The first episode of Buffy I watched was "Amends." I was with two of my favorite people in the world - the only people who in opening their home to me, gave me one solid reason to be grateful that my previous one fell apart.
For the past six years, I have suffered fro...

And he said he's proud of me
in the way you never could
so it felt like the closure I need
You no longer control my security
You never could
treat me as anything apart from you
You controlled my security
so I was never safe
Treat me as anything apart from you
If...

In honor of International Women's Day, I'm going to share a poem by one of my newest friends, Hallie Widner.

Home
When the final light had faded
And arctic winds embrace me
When loneliness is everything
And hope becomes my misery
Where the heavy crush of roses,

You are my friend
There's nothing I wouldn't do
I'd raise the world so you can pass underneath and breathe
You know I struggle too
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To make you feel safe
You know I struggle too
A lot goes unsaid
I'll make you feel safe
Because you've done the s...

and I thought it had something to do with you
I let it ring through
and clasped my own hands before listening
It wasn't.
But it could have been
It could have been them - the people you hid me from
telling me your goal was to be hidden forever
After all
Don't they alw...
