People

i dont want to define

you by your exit.

i don’t want your farewell to sour your memory.

Pride and Relationships

It isn’t the hurt that scares me,

it’s the potential humiliation.

Wage Gap

It is about the pay, yes,

But it’s more about my worth.

Problem and Solution

For a solution to present itself,

a problem has to be acknowledged first.

Wishing for Scars

Not all heartbreak

has an exit wound.

Stripped

The most naked I’ve ever felt

is sharing my writing with another person.

Depth

Don’t come to me expecting small, shrinking, vapid.

You will see a puddle and find yourself drowning in the Pacific Ocean.
