The first two poems here were originally published on DeviantArt, as that is where I started my artistic and literary publication journey over a decade ago.
Darkness
Justified hatred
Secondary to the pain
Losing myself now
Heartbreak
Dying in Shadows
The Darkness is swallowing
Breaking me again
Shy
Please don’t stare at me
Exposed and vulnerable
Aching for my shell
Run
Breathing hard, footfalls
Echoing off the pavement
Like a dull heartbeat
Spark
A light in the dark
Smoldering until it turns
Into a bright flame
Anxiety
Can’t breathe; I can’t
Move; I can’t feel anything
But the crushing wave
Brave
Fear lives in my eyes
But courage lives in my heart
As I make the leap
Soldier
Each day, a new war
Fighting for my inner peace
I must soldier on

I like to cover a broad range of emotions with my poetry, from the light to the dark and the shades in between. Follow for more if you like what you read, and be sure to check out my fiction, too!
