“This town is too small for you. You were always meant for bigger things. Girls like us aren’t fit for cages we are meant to fly.”

I came into this world screaming. I plan to leave it quieter, softer and letting everything I’ve done do the talking.

In people and poetry I have found a way to heal.

You tossed me out like dirt but out of dirt roses grew and I have more thorns than petals.

I may have forgiven you but forgiving myself is a much slower process.

I build a world inside you I shattered when you left and took it with you.

I am a mess of insomnia, broken promises, and better tomorrows that never came.

Loneliness is the realest feeling I have ever known.

In a final Act of self preservation, I cut you out of my life.

Time is a cruel thing. You can have all the time in the world with someone but when it ends it still won’t be enough.

Truth- I am broken. Dare- Love me anyway.

You made a goddamn mess of me but watch me rise from the ashes.

He took everything from me when he put his hands on me.

My body is covered in scars where silver blades kisses my skin and pretended to be love.

Mother, I want to die this world is too cruel and I am too fragile.

Maybe in another life I’d tell you I loved you and you’d stay.

Maybe there’s a world out there where you and I find each other and it doesn’t end in burning flames or broken hearts.
