I Burned All of My Journals
I have made many attempts to tell my story but the words get stuck. I've managed a bit of poetry. In poetry I can be more elusive. The metaphors and analogies pour out but my truth gets to stay hidden. Eventually I will get there but until then I'll just start with what I can.

Proof
I know what you're thinking I can see it in your eyes They emphasize your sighs and patronize my lies The thing is I know the truth of the matter, the proof I bestow upon you to shatter. The chatter won't matter now, I've got a free pass. Served up on a platter to batter the past.

How to Survive a Hostage Situation
Was it just this morning that she left? It feels so long ago. She was so calm and I knew she was sad so I thought maybe she would stay. I really wanted her to stay. She even gave me an option. If I could just step out of the house and take her hand, she would follow me back inside.
