I wanted to start writing more poems to help my mind heal and express myself. In my world I don’t have a lot of people who care to listen to me or even communicate.


hopefully they help you or bring clarity to you some how too :)


Title: Hurt Locker


I feel so vulnerable.

It’s an ache, unpleasant, so cunning.

It’s the swiftest and most elusive feeling

It shivers me, yet it’s unknown, enough to keep me running.

It lingers and hides and it’s always by my side.

It has many names;

Except for it’s real call.

It produces fear and hurry and sends me warnings,

Yet its size is unknown; hard to question depth and tall.

There are many who claim to be its master.

Yet they suffer through its grip too.

“How do I smile through this disaster?”

A constant event I must put myself through.

I know I look crazy to the naked eye

But who really allows that eye to see plain.

For to be naked is something we hide from.

For to be naked is to be ashamed.
