I'm afraid
I've fallen
in love
with the sun.

I've transformed: 
I'm water.
I can no longer stand tall.

Catch me
before 
I slip through your fingers.

Catch me
before
I turn into ice.

I wish 
I could be
unbreakable glass:
I could magnify your light.

Do I extinguish you
when you melt me?
Do I drown your energy? 


He told me no.
He told me I soothe him.
And that's a relief to me.

Are you smart
because the world says you're smart?

Are you fit
because the world says you're fit?

If I call you my world, 
is your opinion all that matters? 

If I'm your world, 
do my thoughts create life?

Let's make an offspring
so she can embody our best parts.

Let's say goodbye to this present world
and breathe life into our own. 

In my mind
I'm always skinny.

Does that mean I have
good self-image
or does it mean
I want to disappear? 

Which answer
makes me more
optimistic? 
Which answer 
makes me more
honest?

impenetrable skin
words cannot get in
gridlock teeth
and hot streams
of acid
down your cheeks

impossible girl
with armor for skin
don't swallow your words
but don't let them in

don't let others in
unless you want to feel
unless you want to hurt
unless you want to grow 

They say to
write what you know,
so I can't write it
unless I've felt it
or done it.

Do you see my poetry
getting happier?

You're the poet of my life.

Write my story in your blood
and I'll write yours in mine. 

Your brain and heart are organs.
They can be sick
just like
any
other
part of you.

I can't tell if my chest pain is
an anxiety attack or a heart attack.

What's the difference between 
an anxiety attack and a panic attack,
anyway?

delusions 
                delusions
are all I think
when I close my eyes

zig zag
            zig zag

prick my heart with a needle 
so it can pop already 
                                    
                                      kabloom
