Fishbowl

Esperanza

1 min read

Standing inside of my fish bowl

Nowhere to escape

Nowhere to go

Only my tears to comfort me now

I cry for what I was

For what I am

For what I never will be

But my tears don’t stop

The bowl is starting to fill up

Surrounded by my misery

It’s suffocating

I am drowning

I never was a good swimmer

As I sink to the bottom

I see faces come into view of the glass

I try to call out to them

But no one ca...

The Creator

Esperanza

With-in me are galaxies

Each full of possibilities and unknown power

There is a solar system in my mind

Super novas flow through my veins

I created my universe through the struggles of my birthright

I feel my rage shake the cosmos

My tears water the earth

My pain created life itself

With life comes heartache

With heartache comes joy

The moon is my past

For each phase made me a newer self

The sta...

If I could count the ways I love you

They would have to invent new numbers

My love for you is longer than Pi

3.1415926535

You are infinity numbers

For you are my infinite

I love you more than every star in all the galaxies

Their dust flows through your veins

Your very being is an elixir of magic and endless possibilities

The gods look upon us

Jealous of our love

I don’t even look back

For I am ...

People often ask you what is your favorite childhood memory

That is really easy for me to answer

I was getting starburst’s from the hotel vending machine

My heart fluttering excitedly as I waited to for the candy to drop

BOOM!! CRACK!! BOOM!!

My eyes quickly went to the window next to me

I stood on my tippy toes so I could properly observe

My eyes growing wide with excitement

Staring out with ...

The Unexpected

Esperanza

1 min read

I never thought I would say hello

You came in a blink of an eye

You were at the time my everything

From soft words

Music to my ears

Long nights of sweet melodies

You were my lock and key

Safeguarding even my deepest secrets

Your words complete me

They lightened the way

But now the path is dark

Music no longer plays

Instead the cry of the wind down these hollow halls

Just a ghost replaces where t...

Anger

Esperanza

1 min read

Anger is a gift

I seldom let myself enjoy

For it use to be my prison sentence

Without my mask to hide the tears

Without my muzzle to hide my screams

I would have been sent to the stake

A look of frustration means rebellion

Rebellion means treason

Dare I question the hierarchy

Each protesting word was dowsing myself in gasoline while they held a match

If you go against the law, you will burn

Bu...
