Ode to Social Anxiety

There are faces everywhere and i can’t see What’s in front of me, what’s out there Can you hear me, i know i’m a bit quiet I’m just hiding here among the masses Biding my time, uncertain, unsure, Calling, alone, curious How do you do it? So carefree, unabashedly Unidentified bodies crashing down around me […]

Learning to live with the lonely

The quiet surrounds me and my eyes are sealed shut. I’m scared because I don’t know what’s waiting for me if i open and look. I know at the very least, you won’t be there waiting for me. It’s been maybe a month now, but i’m still coping with the loss of you. Not having […]

To the house,

To the house I never called a home— It’s always weird coming back to visit you. Your shutters are tinted an eerie, unwelcoming white and your side gate is quite literally falling apart. The wood is rotting and whenever it rains, I know there’s something consuming it. Your front lawn is dying and I know […]

A love letter to myself…

Dear you, It’s me, the other half of you. How are you today? I know you didn’t make it out of bed this morning in time for class. I know that happens a lot, and I just wanted to see if you were doing okay. I had a feeling you were falling down a spiral […]

Colors bloom for love of light And never in the silence of this night A petal plucked, withering grey Painted with all i wish i could say But words grieve for lack of light Especially in the silence of this night Opaque, grating chalk on slate I shrivel and i suffocate Where can i find […]

Lullaby

Lullaby singing, lullaby play Lullaby hear me in the pulse and pull Ebb and flow, pushing grey Black matter clinging, making me dull Eyes closed, wandering, ever lost Kaleidoscope dreams shifting strong Vibrant disturbing pathways crossed Haunting the night forever long Melody charming, dark notes wrong Bass clef buzzing as the choir strums Weaving a […]

Little Marks

Little marks criss cross, summer breeze Blow to the wind, winter freeze Little marks dot the autumn scape Until spring lies with mouth agape Lies aflutter, fly away clean Lies afloat while seasons keep Secrets sing of seeds we reap No plants rise but weeds they weep Little vines haunting through cracks seep Little vines […]

Hello! This is my corner…

You deserve to feel human. -Me Cover c/o Katelynn Rowley, 2019 Hi there! I never thought that I’d be someone to share my writing. When I first started, it was just a private outlet for me to release my emotions into tangible words. I didn’t realize that while I was writing, I was also documenting […]

My thoughts on me…

I’m going to be a third-year biochemistry and cell biology major at UC San Diego. When I’m not writing this blog, I love to catch the sunset and read in my free time. I rock climb and I like calligraphy. I work as a tour guide in the Office of Admissions and I work in […]
