Lavender

Lusting lavender

Seductive scent of slumber

Diffuse your magic

The Void

We're born into a bottle
filled with idle waves of restless hopes
Scrape the waste from our hollow shells
and hear the fainting echoes of despair
Nothing can save our anemic hearts
from wanting more and bleeding dry
Enough is never really enough

A Poem Inspired by International Women's Day

I don't exist for your amusement
I'm not an object or a prize
I don't exist for expectations
built from societal lies
I don't exist just to be stifled
Hear the power in my voice
I don't exist for them to take away my right to have a choice

I exist just like you exist, and with this truth I stand
The existence of a woman should be equal to a man
And even if conflicted by my own genetic strands
I do exist to live my life exactly as I am

Nature's Garden

Underneath the roots, the beauty stems.

What grows is planted.

I was born with dirt in my nails, pigments of spring in my eyes—

Existing in nature's garden, cultivating life into the earth with my hands...

It's poetry.

LIFE AS IT IS

Post, like, tweet, repeat…

Don’t like what I said? “Unfriend” “Delete”  

Influence the masses – In Social We Trust

I have to share it… because… I must!

Follow the followers, think with the trends…

If I don’t like your post then are we still friends?

It’s viral, don’t catch it—the vanity train…

The Millennial mission for insta-fame.

Let’s get political, stand up for what’s right

Make a huge impact by getting more likes

#RIPPoundSign — Your memory fades.

Lost forever from the digital days.

At least we’re connected, refreshed, up-to-date...

I won’t forget birthdays, I’ll never be late…

I can test my IQ with a BuzzFeed Quiz!

That’s life in a nutshell, that’s life as it is.

Focus

Everything captured

Inside a sadistic lens

Nothing is sacred

Wishing Well

I'm wishing well
Into a tunnel of hopes
Throwing my pennies
Into nothing I can reach
Desperately I hope for change
Because all my change is gone

Maybe we shouldn't throw wishes away
You never know who's taking them
