Drifting
Until sweet sleep washes over you
And you allow it to carry you away
Peacefully surrendering to the tide
Abandoning your body...
You drift from the bay
Falling under the lapping waves
Deeper and deeper into calming darkness
Letting go and forgetting
At the very same time
Until eyes open like the shore
Crashing onto the rocks
And sun expands across you
Placing yo...

Hand on darkness
Some years ago, I realised
I am the driver of my life
And so I chose light
It was a difficult decision
More difficult than it sounds
Itβs hard to know what it is to see
When thereβs no darkness around
Itβs easy to equate pain with feeling
To attach pain to being
And so I never ran from the dark
I marched towards it
Let it smoke my heart
Instead, it was alw...

Let the wolves run
Let the wolves run
I run faster
Let the wolves run
I am stronger
Sure of myself
I flex the muscles of my mind
No need to hide
I expel hexes in one breath,
You may not enter
Nor commit the theft
Of my soul
You are uninvited
Release the hatred from your heart
Vengeance is a waste of energy
To be enlightened is to be smart
And rise above, rise!
I a...

Part of us
Something speaks from beyond
Something writhes alive
In each of us
Something pulls and breathes
Beyond our touch
They call it instinct
But it is magically distinct
And can lead, lead, lead
To something in your core
They call it power of the brain
But itβs so much more
It cannot be explained away
It cannot be spoken out of existence
They call it the mi...

One
Iβm sorry to disappoint you
That I can be too sweet and so weak
And yet I can be cold and cruel too
That I can completely snap to my core
And morph into a creature of different sorts
Iβm sorry that Iβm not white or black
Or immaculate
Or of any matter
For that fact
Iβm not anything
At all
Not wholly whole
You see,
Incompleteness
Has been my superpower

Metamorphous
Youβre right
3 years ago, I viewed frogs as aliens
Now I wonder whether theyβre angels
Months ago, I hated the sound of songbirds
Now I write their songs
I tweet along
Everything I did, I did do
It still was
Even if it no longer is
Whatever I am
I still am what I was
Even if I no longer am
Youβre right
I was right and now Iβm left
But the person I was hasn...

The Tide Will Come Out Of Your Mouth
SMASH!
Every time the glass of your skull
Crashes into the fist of another memory
To crush you where you stand
Because another memory has broken you
Because another memory has entered you
Like intruders, they force their way inside
They punch their way into your attention
They invade your heart
Until you must look at them
All so that they can violate you again
They...

Outside of Herself
"Find yourself"
You can misplace your mind
But
You can't forfeit your mind
When you've built a fort for your mind
Mine is bulletproof,
Double-glazed,
Soundproof,
In here
I can stay outside of myself
I can step outside of the world
Oops
Yesterday,
I watched us having a conversation
From my window panes
Through the heavy glaze
It made me feel some type...

Will you be mind?
My time
Is not mine
But our time
Youβve made your bed in my dreams
I lie in it
But
this isnβt me
See,
I would part with my skin
If it werenβt attached
And never look back
But
Each night when I close my eyes for sleep
I see you in my head
Your feet poke out one side of your bed
And oh,
It makes me giddy for you
And so,
I end up crawling in bes...
