  • Unlocked Fear

    I do not speak you into existenceI look behind me to see if you’re thereEvery shadow you could be lurkingEvery storm can summon you hereI plant my feet firmly.And avoid cracks on the streetI do not go into dark alleysFor surely, we will meet.I do not turn my back to…

  • Incense

    Your aroma lingersIt fills this spaceIt cleanses my soulYour ashes pile uBelow your feet nowBut up topIs the spark that started it allUntil slowly you becomeNothing at all. ~Melissa Stein Writes

  • Project

    A puzzle piece with many facetsThere is no easy fit hereThe more you try to force itThe more damaged it appears.You begin with familiar piecesShapes and colors matching your ownBut the more you try to see this pictureThe more lost you become.Incomplete from the startA missing piece from the artHave…

  • Lying to yourself

    When issues rise to the surfaceYou bury it deep inside of you.Dig the hole, plant it deep,Leave a piece of you.Forget it for years to comeLet its roots dig deep into youWhen the weeds start to overgrowThe thorns dig deepCracking the soil you try to upkeep.You trim up to the…

  • Gatekeeper

    Given a key that doesn’t unlock anything.Across from my world to yours,Has this line bleeding underneath me.A barrier you intend to gatekeep me,Boundaries I came to set free. On the opposite side of reality,Has me seeing before it even comes to be.Turning everything upside down,To get a better view.You try to…

  • Unscripted

    When the words fly off the page,What role do I want to play?Trapped in this version of me,That everyone sees.Is this the real me?Or is it what I want you to believe? When the time comes when I am finally alone,The unfiltered thoughts,Resurface a little bit more. I took a role I…

  • Society

    Don’t listen to what they say,They will take your personality away.You’re fine just the way you are,A flaw is just a battle scar.Don’t let them steal your joy,You’re only human not a toy.Let their words drift away,They never mattered anyway.Let down your guard,It was never your fight in the first…

  • Amends

    Trying to change a frame of mind,That fights against me.But how can you fight fairly?When you don’t have the full story.It’s my word against yours,Let these tears stack up against me.But what are we really battling for here?All our traumas and our fears.Has us defending words that won’t matter in…

  • Demon Made

    Tell me your demons,And I will show you mine.They hide in the shadows,On a dark night.Traces of me left in time,And disappear before they can find the lightShadows that reappear in the back of my mind.Lingering doubts,That I can’t cancel out.Only to find out,The demons I made,Have figured me out.…

  • Background Noise

    The clicks of cameras,Fly close to you.Can you still even hear them?Or have you ignored that too.Your being mentioned,But you pay no attention.Head stuck in the clouds,No intention of coming down.While I’ve been in the background,Background noise only adds to the sound.Of a life you can no longer hear now.…
