Letters to Nature
Trees Every so often when I am feeling down, you give me the strength to look up to your glory. The beauty of your essence makes me feel whole.

Alone Again
One more day without love, one more day without that special someone. One more day without a hug or a kiss that would make me feel welcome and in peace. I have been waiting patiently for that special someone to show me the beauty of love, but it seems that time is running too slow and holding on the love that belongs to me. I am running out of time, that I know my old friend. People say to be patient, that the right one will come to me. That when my true love comes to me, my heart will rejoice, and my empty lonely days will not exist. I am still here, every year on Valentine's, waiting for that special someone to come to me. But that's okay because I am free and I know that one day, that special someone will come to me and finally, I will be truly free.

You Walked Away
Sad. I became sad. I had a bad day, those happen sometimes. I chose to come to you, and You looked at me Like I was crazy.

Can't
Look at yourself; what can you do? Look at your eyes; they can’t see into a soul. Look at your feet; they can’t walk on water.

Late 20s
Broke in my window and lit a match. The only place I felt safe. I burnt down my house. Cleared out space, sorted through the thoughts in my head.

Remembrance
A coffee shop. A bed full of clothes, a cat beneath the sheets, the sheets that are not tucked in because I forgot to, Because I didn’t want to, for fear that the cat would hate me.

Gun Control
It's time for the world to make a clean slate It's time for the world to wash the blood from its hands It's time for the world to get a grip on gun control
