  • Red Flags

    Arise o manipulators Time wasters, drunk texters Stand right nau, what’s the problem? What’s up You’re still in denial right? I get that from people like you a lot The thing about red flags is that they always stay hidden While the green ones are flown, high in the air Like a parade of good…

  • The Galaxy that is you.

    The Galaxy that is you ✨ We’re all made up of star stuffIn some weird, dark, bright often milky wayA glitter in our eyes that show we’re excitedReminders of the little joys that come with being aliveWe’re lights in the darkA role assigned by the creator of the universeWe illuminate the way, bring hope to…

  • Give Me A Moment

    The mtn number you’ve dialled Feels too vulnerable to talk to you right now She knows you’re trying to help, but she really doesn’t need it Please try again later Or dial *505# To listen to a pre-recorded message. Hold on a minute Please, give me a second to recollect myself I need a moment…

  • A “No-helpian”

    I know this is gonna be harsh It’ll hurt But I hope you’ll understand Because I sure don’t get Why y’all act like hypocrites Every damn day It’s lovely to want to help people To listen To always be there But how can you expect me to confide in me When you never tell me…

  • Friends

    I search for friends like other girls search for boyfriendsNope, not this oneShe’s too shallowShe raises her voiceThis one even sounds like my mumI know it’s weird but it’s been way too long.Since I formed a close relationship with someone I genuinely liked.

  • College

    I stare at my phone,Eyes heavy with bags they don’t need to carry.I look from note to text book,From jotter to pen,And wonder why I’d been so happy to come to this school. I’m so exhausted that weird things are becoming my lifestyle,Like talking to myself,And considering mixing coffee with fearless.They said this school life…

  • Circe

    Circe. Circe, they called her,For she was a literal goddess of magic,With a twist of her pen and a story in her head she could make anything come to life.With her wildest dreams and greatest ideas she created a universe she could call her own.None of the poets who came before or after her could…

  • Unafraid of the pen

    I hold the pen in my hand,A writer true and true,Not just of plays and great song lyrics,But of moving books, articles too.I didn’t know how powerful the pen could be until I began to take writing seriously.I didn’t know how much of an effect my words could have,Until I started writing true stories.
