Poems

Feeling Safe Within

Yelling doesn’t threaten me A sound of distress of someone else I listen Open heart

You say you love me and I believe you but I don’t know what love

i miss my mother every single moment even when i don’t pay attention she’s with

when i was young i skipped the now rushed to the next challenge frustrated by

what if the poem is blank nothing on the page incorporating everything and nothing blank

i don’t always know what to say forgive me my heart blocks the vocal cords
