Realizing that we all carry parts of the #malignant within us is one matter. But learning how to live with that observation is a lesson time teaches in growing up. #vss365

Turning twenty-five soon. I’m tired. Maybe a life alone isn’t lonely if it means I no longer step on shards that never belonged to my ground, on boundaries that should have been theirs to hold.

I’m not the same me don’t sweeten my coffee with milk no more the bitterness of a cold brew— the same one i used to mock— feels like a wake-up call now and i sip it slow i welcome it

the sand’s slipping time’s been ticking rose glasses dimmed gone. my sight got worse a blessing in disguise? real glasses on no more soft-focus lies almost slipped into #idolatry mistook noise for presence ego caught me - irony and now all my devotion is back to You. #vss365

defensive thoughts misstrust and and and it's all me so many versions of myself are playing in y'alls head yet the one and truly the real me Just who is she? It can't be! you refusing saying " I'm family I know it better" ngl Just makes my sorrow deeper the end #vss365

It's not the feeling of loneliness That enfulges me with fright Nor is it the feeling of longing That makes my mind tremble It is being cause to endings feeling relief yet one part of you wonders What if that friendship would have lasted? #vss365 #end

the cycle of self-doubt stopped spinning like a laundromat the coins been used doubts shed what if's kicked finally the machine halted the #end #vss365 final part to a poem I wrote over a year ago back when I was afraid to show people my poetry

If being truthful is wearing your heart on your sleeves so is sharing your poetry wearing your heart on your face Does me handpicking people who get a glimpse of my heart make me unproud of these feelings or just scared of being vulnerable? Possibly both well only time will show

I'm a writer by nature, Threading my thoughts carefully one by one, As if crafting a jewelry. The words come to me and mix in with my thoughts, Hidden behind the sentences, of course, Are meanings so #ethereal, The necklace would have snapped, By their weight. #vss365

On my #desk a journal is perched Telling tales of one who Rushed into huge decisions Mistaking lack of anxiety for love Almost losing sight of the main objective Peace What gives me peace and where is my calm? #vss365

I won't ever say this to your face But I forgive your lies I wish you the best for real Just a part of me wonders How does it feel to lie to yourself?

There is this weird thing about me I hear about lies and My vision turns red Is this what they call a red line? Every positive memory along with my Feelings burn away Only the ashes remain But they as well just Get blown away Oh well

The abandoned building retains a unique essence, whether in the marked heights on the #gnarled doors of those long gone, or the pet scratches on furniture that has lost its form. Time certainly burries people from the game, yet their belongings remain unerased . . . #vss365

Just as walking in circles Each hope, thinking the bimble's end is near Hey It's now time to run the Marathon sober Is met with yet another race through circles Each round makes you drop some parts of you And hey we are still in a limbo Puzzling life without the pieces #vss365

For the people far, the walls appear so sturdy. But nearby passersby find them crumbly. Rumors say whoever strikes gets struck. They call it a rose with thorns, while tenants know it's like #nettles. Stings may hurt, but it's all for your own good. #vss365

As the days swiftly fly by, Towards the end of the road, The goal becomes clear, A better me, a better us, Together, just us, Though not a #ballerina, The balancé right now Is perfectly worth what's to come. #vss365

My mind is a maze, lately leading me through labyrinths of past chapters. Chanting: You did this, that, and more. Witness the #damage you have endured. Do you truly wish to risk repeating the same? Can we endure this or will I have to patch you up again within me. #vss365
