To my children Talk yourself happy in GodI feel a surge of happiness in me.
My mood today uplifted.
Because I chose to make God first-focus,
My mindset has already shifted.
Bursting with joy, happy as can be.
Because hope in my God blooms inside of me.
I feel the flaring of His joy,
Floodings my heart, body and soul.
His joy engulfs my human mind.
And it's completely taking...

Why Didn't You StayFar from the sea
I'm trying to set myself free
Tears flowing like a river
I have no idea when will it be over
You left in March, now it's almost May
Still, I'm asking myself why didn't you stay?
I can feel the heaviness in me like rain
My heart is clearly in vain
My nights felt so empty, I always cry
The...

Shadows IVThe darkness settles in at 1400 and it is crying
It has deal with pain in a manner that is becoming burdensome
It is tired of all the disappoints and is still crying
Physical pain would be less burdensome
The connection of souls does not come to the lips
HOPE is lost and not in any universe
The constant disappointment has...

Heavenly IIBy noon, the halls throb with static, a low thrum like teeth grinding in sleep. The school, half-submerged in memory, holds its breath. Beneath a cracked skylight, a locker peels open by itself, slow as a yawn. Inside: a paper crown, soaked in ink, and a polaroid of a girl with mirrors for eyes.
In the...

Night TerrorsRunning down Chicago Ave barefoot brain buzzing hymns and static, neon crucifix blinking above a bodega, the gospel of smoke and piss, all-night diner flickering with ghosts of jukeboxes past—she laughs in her sleep, god I miss her already, dreaming of Congo drums, 3AM baptisms, ash on my tongue and wind in my coat, don’t...

Overwhelmed Avalanches of DoubtSo many ways to say one thing
More than one way to turn pawn to king
Too many turns to the grocery store
Which turn shall I take?
Countless words to choose from
From sunrise to sunset
Too many ends to be met
With no end
So many ways to say one thing
How will I say this?
The paralysis of perfection pours
A whisper...

Our private communications Apps2024.4.24
One year ago, today, at 13:28:00,
You installed some Conversation Apps XMPP.
A single word "Hi" was sent to my device.
Then at 14:28:00, exactly one hour later, I received:
"Hi. I am sending you a message".
Since then, we continued on messaging one another.
Despite we were in the same area,
Sitting only 1.5m away from each other.
There...

DogWoof woof woof woof
Hello can you hear me I’m human they just say I’m a dog
Hurting in many ways that they say a dog withstands
Hands and knees praying all they see is paws
Food and water or I’ll die no they say kibbles and bits
Strands of me peek but to them I’m wearing...

Tattoo Deportation
I cannot explain the terror and fear
That I am feeling sat in a cell here
Can’t see where I am, and no one has said
I was thrown on a plane, I'm so upset.
They said my tattoo is gang-related
That's simply not true, this I have stated
It's a lovely flower enclosed in chains
To remind me how I...

23-4-2025I take heed of what I’m too scared to admit,
Keep stepping on,
Sometimes you just take the lead and head on into the darkest abyss.
Focus hard on what it is that you miss,
Make time for yourself,
Sometimes you’ve gotta remind yourself that you exist.
Take heed of what you transmit,
Cantankerous,
Cancerous,
Make...

And so I emerged
And I’ve returned...

Emily,It made me so sad
when you told me
that you cut your
wrists.
And it was made so much
worse when
you rolled your sleeves
down and showed me
both of them.
"Sorry to change the
subject, but I have
to ask: what do
you want to be
when you grow up?"
"Once I’m out of
this place," you gesticulate
around the hollow halls
of the hospital.
"Once I’m out...
