The War In My Head
Shut up.
Shut up.
The voices get louder.
A million people that do not exist outside of my head.
They tell me things.

My Voice
A million words fight to break free.
So many, that I cannot speak.
I try and I try, but it doesn’t matter.

but it must be done.

Missing
She is a lark
ripping the bark
as she takes off.
A missed sight
into the night.
Mother weeps for her.
The lost child
gone in the wind.

I felt pretty today,
Like the glimmering sun.
I felt happy today,
Like nothing else mattered.
I felt confident today,

Rehearsal
We're backstage, giddy with nerves and
tired out of our minds, whisper-laughing as we mess
with our hair, with each other, try to put on makeup in the dark.

Fixing What Is Broken
When the world is at its darkest days,
Turn the light on.
When someone is lost,
Find them
Hold them
And assure them
