Internal dialogue
Home all day
with my pent-up talk,
this ear like a state
and if I have ink
I reckon myself a world.

Sunset
sun settling on the sea
like a public head
I cannot understand
what I have been today
I embrace multitudes
our selves can be one or many
at their own table
breed a kind of inward distance
in that void or wound
and dissemble one towards another
like a parliament
but have nothing more to do
than make clear music
Homunculus
Within my mind
a mind I long to tame—
a left boy, a little Hercules,
the king of ham.
I find trouble
and learn nothing.
But I am a little
pleased at this nothing,
my no that is no.
Parallel Universes
there is a theory that says
just a breath away
is an alternate universe.
a universe where there is a me
who is happy and safe and warm.
a universe where there is a me
who has never looked over her shoulder.
a universe where there is a me
in her own home with her own family.
somehow, i
love and hate
this theory.
Face to Face
At the bar, nursing a Romanov - or two
Sometimes three or four
I am forced to look into myself -
Not a pretty sight.
At the barber, as he twists my neck
Left and right, up and down
And then firmly upright
I am forced to look at myself -
Not a pretty sight either!
Illusion
People only show you what you want to see.
So I went ahead and showed all of me.
love you.
"love yourself"
so easy to say
yet so hard to do.
i wish i loved myself
so it wouldn't hurt as bad,
to not hear you tell me that you love me.
the way I love you.
sorry
She said sorry way too often like it was a greeting
It was her favorite word cause she labeled herself as a disaster
She felt sorry for not being good enough for anyone
Cause no one ever told get that she was good enough
No one ever told her that she was much more than the earthquake she created in her head
She was just too sorry for breathing around people

I miss who I was
before you left me in the dust.
6.Bullsh*t!!
"You can't love someone before you love yourself."
Bullshit!
I have never loved myself
But you, I love you so much I forgot what hating myself felt like..
unique
my loss wouldn't be unique
why would anyone care?
not even i do
i'm nothing special
i'm everything that isn't
i'm just here
and there
