Poison Love: A Poem Series

Have you ever loved someone too much? I have. This is a poem series about love that should not have been loved. This series is about feelings that weigh heavy in the heart but are not reciprocated, or are wasted on abusive misfits. These poems are about loving fully, opening the self-up, and receiving disappointment for reward; but they represent resilience because the soul can learn to love again.

What is Life?

To be in your arms
To be a part of you
To be only yours
To even exist in a world inside of a universe
Where I can know you
That is a privilege.
And to love you
Oh God,
To get to love you
Now that is to live


I have no more words to utter

It’s all said
It’s all done
She was everything
He was the one
The moon
And the sun
Our brightest stars
Are now on the run
Naked soul
A silent compassion passes between us

I am here for you
When the world’s left you
I cannot laugh
I cannot judge
Only listen
Memorize the silence
She was everything
He was the one
The moon
And the sun
Our brightest stars
They are now on the run
Naked soul
A silent compassion passes between us

I am here for you

I can’t help but to look at her and think that you’ve downgraded. She was beautiful.


More than air

You make me pathetic
Craving you
Even if only a brief passing by
Wanting to breathe in you
Desiring you
You make me weak
Pathetic to your judgment
Pining for your approval
Awaiting your pat on the head


I just want you to love me
I want that more than air
I want it more than space
More than anything on earth


I’ll cry my tears in silence
I’ll try harder

All you must say is jump
And I will ask, “How high?”


Pathetic


You mean that much to me.
Do I mean that much to you?


I feel like loving you, so, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to love you.



Nov 27

It's 7 am and I know you hate me somewhere and I couldn't be happier.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
