I remember it was October when you told me you loved me. You wrapped it in a parcel, and sent your message via post. I didn’t mean to boast, but I loved you too. Autumn was your favourite month, or so you told me, but I guess it was all lies. Such a disguise that … More Autumn
I’ve always shied away from happiness, I thought it was just a dream, but it seems everyone is content. I wonder how long I’ve spent looking into darkness. Wondering how I can dig my way out. I used to shout at myself because I never knew what it was to live. I just hope I … More Taking Life by the Hands.
I always wondered what it would be, to sit up late, maybe until three and ask you ‘what does love mean?’, but you won’t answer, and although it seems fine… we’ll never be that word. I used to think that love was real, but then I saw you cry that day I told you I … More 3am
Call me a flower, maybe I’m made of regret, and false dreams. Grown in a soil of hope, but drowned in a river of shame. Boy of 16. Told me he could feel my pain, but his Tumblr had cats. I couldn’t recall the way he smiled when he said it would be okay. He … More Hipster Girl gone Bad
If we took 5 minutes to consider what we said to someone, maybe there would be less broken hearts and paper drops of tears which your ex-girlfriend cried when you told her she was ugly. Maybe the world would be less cold, and you’d learn that you can’t fix someone with staples and glue. I … More If We took 5 minutes to Consider What We Said to Someone… (Spoken Word)
I am Untitled, don’t give me a name because apparently I’m never worth it. I’m the kid at the back of the class who tried to pick grass but ended up with his ass in the mud instead. He hit his head and you all thought it was funny when he came in the next … More Untitled
You said the body held power, but then I watched everyone around me crumble. And the people that once stood like skyscrapers now fell to the floor. They became a blank page, a closed door and nobody could stop them from losing control. I watched you unfold into nothing but dust, and I think that … More The Bodies
He told me I was 1 in a million, but then again that’s what he told everyone. His eyes were so blue, and I think I swam in them once, before I knew him. My friends told me to watch out, count your luck girl because hes a bad one. What did they know? I … More He.
Dear World, you do not know me yet as I am not born. I understand that the world is beautiful, and full of green grass and water that shimmers in the sunlight. I hear the voices of those around me who speak of peace and love. Some people even pray that there is something above … More #DearWorld (A Response to #DearDaddy)
You told me that time didn’t stop for anyone, but that was before you showed me how your body was a clock. It ticked and it tocked. I heard it click and groan when you moved. The cogs slowly moved as you swept your way through this life and tried to keep it together. I … More Your Time.
