"I'm fine"
A desperate call for help
A cover up
A lie
Darkness sets in
Not only on the world around me
But inside as well
It's soul consuming
Someone please help
Find a light to shine in this darkness
So that there is something to give comfort and hope
Because I am deathly afraid
I know what the darkness can do
It possesses the minds of the weak
And shreds their souls
Until it is too late
The wounds in their heart
Begin to show on their skin
And the pain brings the slightest bit of comfort knowing
I'm not dead yet

bad medicine
about the highs and lows of toxic relationships, from drugs, to dudes, to the drama of it all. the . how it can feel so good when it's good, and so bad when it's bad. how it makes us sick - codependent and fixated on them - and can begin to believe we need them. and how we are the only person with the power to change things in our lives. it's about what medicine you take, because good and bad are both all around us all the time.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
