Love

Are we all searching for love to distract us from our saddening lives? t.l.

I’ve tried to squeeze myself a little smaller cut the parts you didn’t like tried to fit into your vessel be good, be patient be quiet, be obedient. now that I break free it takes time to grow back the branches that were “unnecessary” the flowers that grow on cacti the parts that once wereContinue reading “Flowers”

Your sexuality is the end of you.” “Why choose the difficult road with thorns and poisonous spiders when you can have it easy? Why did you sailContinue reading “Drizzle”

Storm
