Cambodia and Thailand are 11 hours ahead of home. I live the whole day before the people I love have even woken up. So I wrote this poem about the way I feel here in the future. I live in the future And in the future I lean out of windows Gazing into the heat …

Reconciliation to self.
My sister wrote this poem and sent it to me the other day, and it was so exactly right, so exactly how I am feeling. I haven't had the will or the strength to come up with my own words lately, but hers have filled my heart and spoken for me. I am learning how …
It’s going to be alright
For young love that's not so young anymore. And for my 26th birthday. We used to write 7 poems a day about falling in love. Now we can hardly form the thought.

April Poems
April is poetry month and I (along with lots of other writers) have decided to write one poem a day for the entire month. So far my poems are mostly terrible and I assume they will continue to be terrible as the month goes on. However, I wrote this poem the other day when I …

Upon Graduating College

I like sunshine and pretty things and cheerfulness, and I dread responsibility." -Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise I'm thankful and ready and restless and scared. But mostly I'm just so filled with feelings and struggles and confusion and light, that I …
Some days are hard
I say a bad word in this post... You've been warned. "For the ones who are told only to speak when they are spoken to and then are never spoken to." -Anis Mojgani I have yet to decide what this post is about. I just need to write, so here I am. There is something …
