Pretty tops And trackie bottoms The girls all got their Lashes done Long nails Pigtails I wonder where That stain’s come from There’s big pupils Behind the wings And the beat is heavy On the song “What is it,” she asks Her mates “That feels so good about Doing wrong?” They all nod Their sweating [...]

Don’t hate! Unless it’s the group We oppose today.  Don’t judge! Unless it’s the person Deserving.  Don’t support! Unless they’ve explicitly Told us they’re good - and we must believe these words... Even though we out throw The vows of someone we deem as worst.  And in five minutes our hive mind will shift; We’ll [...]

Sorry, what was the point you were making? The one before the synergy started breaking? Because I swear I knew it was gonna be earthquaking But you shut your lips before it slipped There’s no mistaking Seemed a while your tongue had been baking Up this hard hitter, teeth chattered, shattered and shaking All these [...]

They are just flesh and anonymity Bones that structure but don’t poke I stared into the open space  Not at his face as he spoke I ain’t pulled or drawn or captivated By any skin that ain’t your shade I don’t need to pluck off because I don’t give Opportunity for other hands to get [...]

Sometimes to you I let slip What I can’t say to him That’s why I dim at full brim Start to swim in the shallows And skim the surface  Swallow don’t spit I say heartbreak like it’s hymn  Condone what brings A broken chest to a teary chin Twist innocence To fit my blistered whim [...]

I know I shouldn’t do it But I’m gonna do it anyway So what’s the point of knowing? Some things happen so fast  I don’t realise 'till they pass Like sleeping through snowing It’s melted by the dawn crack Just wet feet and raised back As the cold wind blows slack Through the windows  I [...]

Sometimes I don’t even wanna talk to myself So writing these poems gets hard I want all the pigtail and gristle With no lard I want to fill these deep and plunging  Silences Scream down my yard I want to burn my throat so abundantly My words are left smokey and charred I want to [...]

Will I ever stop feeling like I’m Ruining your life? I strive to provide smooth glide But I’m bona fide sly When I realise that I Am making things difficult again And the slime of my crimes Engulfs all that I’ve dried From the saturation That comes after the downpours Of my cries I lie [...]
