Hush

Blood boiling,
Steam rising to the top
Of surfaces we can’t touch.

Asinine inquiries,
Premeditated consciences
Of translucent relationships.

This ball of fury soaking,
With heat forever warming
Like the sun circulates around the moon.

Too many words said,
As they try to find boxes
To make sense of this

Nothing can change it
Or properly articulate intent
If we are not honest.

Beings shall remain unfazed,
As words hit walls going no where
They, too shall not move.

Say nothing,
Do nothing,
It’s all the same, to you.

It’s in the eyes

I can see myself in a spiral for control—
I’ve lost it all.
The virtue that is I is gone and I don’t know why.
Playing the role of a woman who has it all
I can’t help but cry because it’s a beautiful lie.
It’s in the eyes,
My soul on a display for an Oscar-winning award for the “best leading woman in a drama”
Looking up to the sky— there are no answers when the sun won’t shine.
I’ve got to know right now because the only truth is in the eyes.
One minute I’m fine and the next I’ve fallen to my knees, curled into a ball.
I must be blind—there’s more lies than truths and the anger won’t subside.
Look me in the eye and tell me everything will be alright.
