Safe
This is my space
a place where I can reveal who I am
share my darkest thoughts
express my deepest desires and hopes
and no one can come up to me
and punch me in the gut
yell in my face
or scream at me
because of who I am here
my sanctuary.
i will always be an elusive anonymous shadow
no one knows my identity
but
all that can be changed
by a few wandering glances
a misplaced gaze over my shoulder
and I could be exposed
like a painting put up on display
for people to critique and laugh at
right in front of
Because if it does
I’ll just have to slip back into the shadows
for no one to see
ever again.

“It’ll Be Okay”
so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

loving you
there’s been roses
growing on my ribcage
covered in thorns.
there’s been matches
gathering in my heart
waiting to be lit.
and now you’re here.
with the patience to snip
all the thorns without ruining
the soft roses.
with the last match needed
to light the fire.
and i’m here too,
sweet and firey.
loving you.
