I would unfold your stress when you’re complicated
like origami
intricate and overlapping
made pretty for the world
I will smooth your creases

Bargaining with Depression
a check list
meditation
candlelight bath
what to I have to trade
to be functional again
I Don't Know Her
this reflection
she’s a lost bundle of scars
who used to show power
pride, competence
now barely recognizable
broken down
knowing she’ll never return
not in the same way
Tourguide
you taste like the rain
or how it feels to
hike along a riverbed
you give me a map
until I have the time
to memorize
the trails of your body
Smile for Me
you’ll find me curled up
in the shadow
in the valley of doubt
wearing my lipstick
trying in vain
to feign enthusiasm
I Walked Away
There comes a point when I have nothing left to give
Guilt you swing over my head like sandbags
Because apologies weren't enough for your timeline
Your venom stopped being bearable
Weight and self-righteousness never lifts
All the bonds in your life crumble away
When they don't kowtow to your indignation
Disagree with your entitlement
I don't live up to that pedestal
Somehow also wrapped in jealousy
When all I knew from you was mean-spirited
Complaints to drag down to your level
Calculated confrontations to ruin special moments
It stopped being worth it
