Paid In Full [Poem]

What we pay for in attention
We purchase in identity

What we consume by choice
We create from inevitably

The person we see today
Is a byproduct of yesterday

And who we'll be tomorrow
Is paid in full each day—invariably

Hiding [Poem]

Isn’t it funny
How we hide our faults
And then wonder why
It feels like
Nobody
Really sees us

Love, Like Death [Poem]

The size of your love for another
Isn’t equal to the size of love
the other receives

The most beautiful love letter ever written
Pales in comparison
to a simple hug from the one that’s right

If there’s anything I’ve learned from love in this life
It’s that love, like death,
isn’t something you get to decide

Escaping Hell [Poem]

How do you tell someone
How to break free
from the grips of hell
When they’re the one
With burns
Cuts
Scrapes
Bruises
And gashes;

And all you’ve got are words
From unblemished pages 
And pure intentions

Missed [Poem]

Be someone who’s missed
They said

So I spent my life
Collecting notifications
From distant platforms
To prove to myself
That people think of me

I thought
But something was missed
