Poems
Letter To My Past Self
I wrote you a letter It was full of questions I’m not even sure I want the answers to Perhaps I was trying To antagonise Maybe I was hoping It might open your eyes I guess I will never know why I wrote you that letter But I know you never read it And maybe […]
Native
I do worry Sometimes That were I to rid myself Of my depression I would be cutting away A part of me For surely these feelings Existed Inside of me from the beginning A disease, yes But invasive, no Is it right to kill A native species Even when it longs to destroy […]
