Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everybody!!! Ihope your holiday is filled with happiness and joy!

Steve.

Steve is a guy. He is not a potato. YOLO.

Do Not...

Do not be afraid
As shadows fill the night
And demons reach out to grab you
Do not weep, my child
The darkness is your friend
Run, hide from the light
Do not cry my lover
The rose’s thorns are sharp
But blood is prettier when it’s fresh
Do not worry, my friend
Today is my last day
But we’ll be together soon
Do not be sad
For happiness is fleeting
And pain is ETERNAL

I Am You

I See You
Walking, Strutting, Proud
And rightly so
I Hear You
Sobbing, Crying, Sad
For reasons you don’t know
I Smell You
Honey, fig, spruce
The wind carries it to me
I Taste You
Peppermint and pretzels
And you and I become we
I Touch You
Soft and ever silky
Like skin that’s born anew
I Am You

Where I Am From

I Am From
I am from pens,
from BIC in a new package and
From tear stains on paper.
I am from the empty house that
Sounds like disappointment and feels
Like prison.
I am from stifled creativity and
Pig- headed conservatives.
I am from putting each other down
And court hearings.
From a sister with
A knife and another with a baby.
I am from velvet dresses and
Baptist churches.
From not being allowed to think for myself.
I am from “You’ll never make it!” and
“You might as well just kill yourself.”
I am from one school and one family to another,
Trying to find somebody to love me.
I am from burnt pictures and memories,
Trying to forget and trying to remember.
I am from a dad with no name and a mom that
Didn’t want me.
I am from making it on my own.
