Only a couple of words away

Your heart aches,
each pump of blood filling
your body with pain and regret

whether it's a loss of that special
person in your life or the melting
sorrows of that something that's
missing.

You feel hurt but don't want to say
it because they always tell you that
everything is going to be okay

but it doesn't feel that way.

It's okay to say that it's not going to be okay.
It's okay to feel that you don't have enough.
It's okay to feel unbearably empty.

Just know, no matter how far
apart we may be,
I am only a couple of words away.

  • End of school year stuff :)

    As we slip into summer break, I just wanted to express that school in the past year in the pandemic has been incredibly difficult and that everyone here deserves time to themselves this summer to do things that you love!
  • changes

    the world seems to always be changing
    you grip onto one thing but then it slips
    right from your fingers

    life can be 
    static
    monotone
    predictable

    but it can also be
    dynamic
    ever-changing
    chaotic
  • spring is near

    the sun is coming out quickly
    and doesn't leave too soon
    the buds haven't began to blossom
    the trees look a little bare
    but there's a warm-ish breeze in the air
    that tells me spring is near
