Safe

The world is a cruel dark place

People are selfish and unbothered

Lines of right and wrong are blotched into a large space of grey

I cling on to my humanity with all my claws in.

It scares me, the white lies

You can trust or you can watch them,

Yet person next to you hides

beneath their promises, a skeleton of deceits

Unkind, ruthless and self centered

But I am here, 

I am still here

Putting together, kindness block by block

building a home that is safe

You can come here and rest,

lean against the cool and the warmth

You are safe here.

When do you ask for consent

 I was standing at a stop Waiting for my bus to arrive A fine young gentleman approached and asked for my number  I hesitate before I decline He says, '”but, I am a nice guy” As he takes a step closer towering over my frame with all his height. I flinch, afraid, I peer around for help. None are at this stop ‘Cept the bus that comes on. I hold my bag close and run away. It has been a hectic week  I meet up with a friend to catch up We have a drink or two in us As we move to cook a joined meal His hands move to the rhythm of beats Onto the low of my back He pulls me closer  I brake with both my palms “ But I am a nice guy, you should give me a chance” He says, as he continues to pull me in closer  I push hard and lock myself in the room. Was coming back from a celebration the other night with a friend We must have had some drinks As one hand on wheel, his other found mine I push away, I flinch  “But I am a nice guy”  He says, as his hand continues to gra...

Paradise

          **All the characters and events in this story are completely fictional** The bizarre set of events that started happening as soon as I landed in the magic island of Hawaii still sends my brain reeling into a perplexed contusion. I planned a trip to surf the beaches of Hawaii, on island of Oahu, for my birthday. The trip started with my friends riling me up to fetch that fairy tale romance I dream of. Don't tell them that I stuffed my luggage with 3 books, and I plan to do some intense reading.   I was waiting by baggage carousel after my flight landed to collect my suitcase. I see this tall gentleman (or should I call him an adult boy since he is wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers), picking up a red 24" suitcase that weirdly resembled mine. His suitcase had a captain marvel sticker on it just like my suitcase. IT WAS MY SUITCASE! I ran around the perimeter of carousel as this gentleman tries to casually walk away with m...

Anyone

 To the guy who said he would be with anyone but with me, I have carried the weight of those words in my heart, The pain of my spirit crushed, for very long, I trusted the whimsy parts of my being in your hands, And then got pushed into the depths of Tartarus. My soul was broken and my heart was crushed. I thank you today, For without you, I wouldn't have broken apart into the smallest of bits. For without it, atoms of my soul wouldn't have come together, This time, to create a perfect being of myself. This time, I put myself together the right way. I thank you today for the love you showered when we were together, And for the hell my soul has endured, Because today, I am stronger than ever I have been.  I release you from my energy today. It's been a long time coming, I put you to rest.
