Lost

Courtney

Not all those who wander are lost or found;

They simply just are. Taking in the sights,

smelling all the smells, hearing all the sounds....

Walked Away

Courtney

1 min read

I was shaking. My eyes toggled between the two of them standing there in front of me. Both so beautiful, stoic and sad. I’ve wanted B forever, and she finally wanted me…but why did it take so long? And there stood J. Everything I’ve always wanted in a person—a fresh start. Perhaps something healthy. I sighed and walked away from both of them....

Courtney

Reflection

Courtney

1 min read

I stared in the mirror, my “disorder” pulsating through my bloodshot eyes. I wanted to punch it like it was something physical I could beat into a pulp.

Grain Alcohol

Courtney

1 min read

That smell,

Hard work, sweet sweat,

Grain alcohol and mint—

I want to inhale you deeply.
