Poetry

*My poetry comes from a place of honesty and vulnerability with the purpose of being an avenue of emotional expression and healing. I like to be very transparent. Some of my poems may include triggering or sexual content. I'll include an asterisk if it has sexual or what I think might be potentially triggering.

Lost between two elements

equal parts fire and water. 

Do I burn?

Do I flow?

I do not know. 

 

Always alone

on my own.

Caring for others, 

Yet never cared for. 

 

A heart so numb

with tears that never fall. 

Shackled with pain

A prisoner of my emotions. 

 

Slowly suffocating

I fight

I beg

I plead

Let me go.

Let me go. 

 

Always numb

Never wanting to feel

Not realizing what I had done. 

 

My decision was made for me. 

My choices were gone. 

In complete darkness

from now on. 

 

Too tired to fight,

In letting go I found the light. 

 

Moving from burn to flow

I let go. 

 

Pouring out of me

a hurricane of emotion. 

All the hurt

All the pain

All the lonely

All the fear

Every single one of my tears. 

 

Letting it all go

Numb no more

I am free

To be authentically me. 

 

Connected to the divine

To the goddess within.

Connected to me.

 

Here I stand

Naked

Vulnerable

Silent. 

 

It's clear now.

Working in unison

Two parts to a whole

Yin and Yang

I burn

I flow. 

 

No longer a contradiction

Working in harmony,

I never thought

That this is where I would be. 

 

Yet here I am
