Trauma

Our traumas are both our oceans and our space. Vast and unknowing. There’s a certain fear that comes with that reality. How do you heal from something vast and unknowing? The last time we spoke I…. The last time I saw you we… So many things are gone now. I look around and so many…

Coachella Poem 2019

PSA: no matter what I am about to say don’t come to Weekend 2 of Coachella. I would never lie to you. So whatever truths I put into words below, don’t mind them at all. This is an absolutely dreadful place. Never come here. I promise you the grass is literally not greener on the…

Modern Day Friends: My conversation with DragonflyJonez and Lajethro Jenkins

This is a story of friendship. Well that’s what the idea of all this started as. Then I came to the realization that it all was so much more. These men aren’t just two charismatic online personalities that get a long well on social meadia. They have evolved to brothers in real life. Tyler (dragonflyjonez)…

Matter…

Truth of the matter is it’s been awhile since we talked like this. I told you I love you and I meant it with all of my damaged heart. I just wish I didn’t say it so soon. But I would never time travel to change how I feel about you. We finish each other’s…

Seeds of Growth

It’s the season of growth. All those seeds I planted in the Winter are coming back as trophies. I’m evil but I’m not scared. I’m not scared to say I wish you were here to hold me. I’m growing, I wish you were here when I’m new to know me. You’re still preoccupied with thoughts…

Who Are You?

I want to know your name. Until then you be girl and I’ll be boy. Even though we know all of this is much deeper than that. And at this moment in time I think my life is on an upward bound for at least 40 more years. I think you are a beautiful lotus…

Sundays: 2018

I started this with Sundays being my favorite day. Now I have fallen in love with them and that’s all thanks to you. I am in New York right now ready to bring the new year with one of my best friends appreciating all aspect of life and reflecting on all of you. What touches…

Ruined

I want to be ruined. I want to be destroyed. And I think you want the same thing. Something so beautiful and tragic that it shouldn’t exist. Yet here we are. Loving to hate each other. Yet here we are. Learning to exist with one another. Why do we chase the ones who think we…

Beautiful Chaos

Heart to hearts in the bathroom and we ain’t even talking about us. I’m holding the door shut I hear the music faintly in the background. I love this song… I notice all of you, but that’s not what’s important right now. Haven’t wrote about you in awhile. I think I miss it. Sum of…

Ballerina

She use to say yes to me… Sometimes we take moments for granted. We don’t properly reflect until those moments become memories. I wanted it to mean more to you… All these ideas that came to me. Who am I to try and control everything? Of course I want to know who you really are….
