You are…
I lowered a ladder for you, Let you climb over my walls, I allowed you to come in, You're more than just my partner, You have become my best friend, When I’m sad, you bring me joy, When I’m mad, you calm me down, When I’

Poetry fuels my soul, It helps me heal and grow. I write the words I am afraid to say outloud. I am a Jack of all trades I write kids poems, poems about depressions, sucide, immigration rights and more

Walls
She is guarded, Protective, Too many have broken her heart, The wall around her heart grows with every lie, Every broken promise, Every time you lead her on, She is tired of the games, She is tired of the excuses, Instead of listening she will push you away and hide,

I learned
I learned how to smile with a mouth full of sorrow, I learned how to lie about the marks that were on my body, I learned how to scream internally, I learned how to dread the warzone that was our home, I learned that money can’t buy you happiness,

My little love
Your birth changed my life, I found out about you and I cried, You are beauty and grace, God blessed me with you, I watch you grow with admiration, Hear you laugh, what a heavenly sound, Your smile turns my day around, I have been blessed to watch you grow,

Green eyes
Your green eyes used to mesmerize, Now I see shame and pity, You had hope and dreams, You were filled with ambition, Then the drugs came!! They destroyed you, You lost everything, Your home, your job, The respect from your parents, You sold your soul for a quick hit, It

Images
Truth is for years I hated the person I saw, Battled internally with my looks, Took pills to lose the weight, starved myself to look a certain way, I was never content with the image I saw, I worked out five times a day, Never slept, because in my mind

Through this window
Fear puts me to bed at night, I awake and I see the light, The sun is beaming on me and I remember the world is bigger than i think, Helping me forget my insecurites. There is so much I can do! I can sail the sea, I can swim
Screams that linger
The screams echo through this house, A child too young to know what it is about, living in fear of what they will see next, broken glass on the floor, Broken hearts this is no safe home, nowhere to feel safe in this warzone, The howls haunting through the night,

She sees herself and her flaws, Puts on makeup to cover her insecurities, Her mind shouts your fat, and ugly, No one will even look at you, Her thoughts are breaking her self-esteem, She takes pills to “help” lose the weight, Starves herself to look a certain way, Comprares herself
Kids' Poem

They call me strange, They call me odd, They make me feel like I do not belong, They bullied me instead of trying to understand me, Made me want to hide my gills, Too afraid to even feel, I swam alone in tears, Until someone said “I like your tail”
