I’m pushing away those who pretend to care for me deeply. Who turn blind eyes to rotten fruit so that they don’t feel ill at ease. I’m pushing away those who stay silent when I speak vulnerably. They never owed me consideration, but without it I would
Poetry
What is one human being worth to another? Knife in the back from the one you called brother Actions outside of ourselves cause an ache You lie alone in bed and call it all your mistake My bad I walked right past red flags I gave you a chance and
Poetry
I oft feel like I’m running out Wading in stagnant waters of doubt I wonder how I’ve survived without The things I can only dream about There is a time to mourn the past But bad things never seem to last It was my mind that held so
