There is something Surprisingly warm About that old college sweatshirt That makes me wear it Multiple times at home, After all these years. That something is nostalgia. There is something Inexplicably beautiful About that dull grey colour That I otherwise don't favour, Calling it too drab For my otherwise colourful wardrobe. That something is nostalgia. [...]

It Will Happen
I know you have waited So long that It seems like a lifetime, So hard that It seems you can't anymore. Don't give up now. It will happen. I know the feeling Of uncertainty That clouds you completely, Of bottomless sadness That drains you steadily. Take one moment at a time. It will happen. I [...]
I’ll Be There
I am not white. I am not black. I am certainly grey. But when you need me, I'll be there. I can be selfish. I can be unreasonable. I can be stubborn. But when you start falling, I'll be there. I may drive you crazy. I may baffle you endlessly. I may make you want [...]
You Are Enough
When you are told Multiple times a day You are not enough, What do you do? Do you accept it, If not consciously, Then subconsciously And replay it to never forget it? When you are made to feel Multiple times a day You are worthless, What don't you do? Don't you dare Question it, Test [...]
Validation
So this is how it goes. I say something. You say, "Wow!" I do something. You say, "Oh my! How?!" Oh no! Not once! But every single time! Anything from me Should be worth your time As soon as you see! You do it not for yourself. You do it for me. As I'm a [...]
Out of Control
What do you do When you know That the sky is going to fall? On you and On everything you love? Do you stand back To let it just happen? Do you start to fight With all your tiny might? Knowing the outcome either way? Yes, sometimes It's just all So out of control, So [...]
He Came With the Rain
He came with the rain, Unexpected As on a clear sky day, Uninvited As without an umbrella, Unabashed As with the torrential pour. Soon thereafter, Changed the weather Around and within me, Changed the rhythm Of things and life, Changed so much In so short a time. Then the rain stopped. With the rain who [...]
Do What Makes You Happy
Do what makes you happy. Not the superficial, temporary Kind of happy, But the real, lasting Kind of happy. Don't worry what others'll think. Eventually, if not immediately, They'll have better things to think. Finally, you will be left alone For yourself to think. So stop procrastinating any more. Give yourself permission For so much [...]
This Moment of Paradise and Hell
In this moment, Is unbridled joy, Unlike any seen, Is unfathomable despair, Unlike ever expected. In this moment, Something begins, Making the heart beat faster, Something ends, Making everything go blank. In this moment, Someone has an orgasm, Sees paradise, Someone loses an organ, Sees hell. In this moment, Someone comes back home, Meets familiar [...]
You’re Beautiful When You Smile
I see you, Thinking and over-thinking, Caring too much About every little detail. Yes, it's important. But when you stop Once in a long while And just smile, You're just beautiful. I hear you, Go on and on endlessly, Voicing your heart As well as that big brain. Yes, it's needed. But when you take [...]
