The Happy Friend
Reading through each page
Experiencing the characters emotions
Putting myself into the protagonist's shoes
Only to realise that I've left out the person who hurts the most
Paging through the book I start to realise
The "happy" friend has always been hurting the most
They have always supported the protagonist, but never themselves
Even though the protagonist is the superhe...

Social anxiety
It might be in my imagination or a thought that sticks in my mind, When you walk in a crowded room it’s hard to be able to trust any human of kind .
You smile and walk through the crowd , hoping your silence isn’t too loud . You’re wanting to get to your destination , without anyone bumping into you for what feels like for desperation.
Desperation - to get a glimpse of you , for when you le...

Fear
02.04.21
Heart so fast I'd rival a mouse
Darting eyes, fast breath
Don't look at me now
Checking my phone so often
It's hot in my hands
Don't get too close
Especially if you're a man
My hands shake with fear
And my breath quick with worry
My leg taps a song
Like it's also in a hurry
I jump at the sight
Of shadows on pavement
Can't sleep at night
Sick with worry...

Mind is stuck in an everlasting illusion.
I’m trying to balance such ruthless confusion. But again it’s one down to the always winning intrusion.
Weaker and weaker I start to become as I slip beneath life’s Almighty thumb.
In turn I get thrown around until my emotions reach that proposed numb.
I then start to wonder how all this speculation of mine begun.

Plastic Razor Blades
~It's that constant voice in my head,
It's my voice,
Illustrating the never-ending daytime nightmares that keep me up at night,
That keep me down at noon
I fall for these stories
The fabrications that knit the fabric of my life
It's the stories behind the gazes that cut the deepest
Everyday I fight through plastic razor blades
But I don't think I'm strong enough~

Compare Despair
A perfectly edited
Existence
Resists the truth
Of reality
All that's
Been shown
In this
Instance
Is exactly
What they
Want you
To see
As you
Scroll these
Sensational scenes
And the
Clutches of
Envy
Dig deep
Remember it's
Not all
As it
Seems
You don't
Know what
Sorrow

Introvert's Day Off
I packed a suitcase for just myself
then took a trip to winter months. Found
the key to the bedroom in a snow-crusted corner.
Flat-lined in a crowded room and had to shake
off the hangover in
empty spaces.
So mood landed on carpet
and grew dim like a lamp when the flimsy blanket
drapes over the shade to welcome the latest
blast of ice in gray sunset.

An Introduction
On the days when my tongue betrays me
The pen is my ally.
While it cannot turn off my mind
It is comforting to have a friend
Who promises the comfort of revision,
Of reinvention,
Of erasure,
Of closure.
On the nights
When my bed is my solace
And sleep is a guest who takes too damn long to arrive
There are words
my words
That I can use to dream.
There are days when my mind
And my...

Highs and Lows, Frogs and Toads
5th grade was my downfall
Anxiety coupled with A.D.D
Made for the perfect broken marriage.
6th grade was calm.
I had everything under control
And I was taking medication
But 7th grade was morbid.
A child,
One only the devil could produce,
Had arrived with the diseased name
Of Depression.
8th grade was the year Depression made friends
Suicidal Tho...
