  • Revelations

    —

    It whiffles away like a soft whimper, An unsightly display Born of delusion. Rippling cracks across the glass reveal The mirrors within the mirror, Other perspectives: A fragmentary existence, Each piece reflecting a different nature Of the all-encompassing whole. Shattered, but whole. I was a terrible thing after all, But I’ll wash my hands of…

  • It Returns

    —

    I’m hollowed out, Every part of me spilled out before the world To be seen, to be discarded; Little aspects I’ve grown to disdain, So I’ll give it up! So why do I place it in the royal blue bin? It always comes back to me; After all, that is me. So what choice do…

  • A Picture of Me at 2 Years Old

    —

    I hold an ephemeral life so gently in my palms. It is so bright-eyed and rosy-cheeked, So delicate and so unique. I wish I could shed a tear for it, Knowing it has not long for this world, But I don’t wish to drown it with sadness. Let it thrive, live unbeknownst to weakness, To…

  • How a Boy Thinks

    —

    It’s pointless, Expecting an ember to suddenly catch ablaze; As soon as it hits the ground, The spark lost its life and became ash. An often banal observation, But even dust can inspire So why not just receive it for now? You can let it go later. I am tired. The world revolves around me…

  • Save Me

    —

    Happiness by proxy is not enough; I pray something within me will save me, Like the fountain of my soul becoming self-contained So I’ll always be replenished, As if to say, I know I am enough. -k.r.r.

  • On The Foolishness of Regret

    —

    If I loved myself, I would not know regret For I must embrace my own grace And learn to pardon my own mistakes As I would toward the one I loved. -k.r.r.

  • My Entangled Mind

    —

    I cannot forfeit the past, for long as it has been, it has assimilated itself as part of me. The moment present became past it became another building block of my soul, and even with hindsight, when it felt as if those building blocks should topple, not even Aeolus could bring them down with his…

  • Abruptness

    —

    I am speaking to you. I am doing so assuredly and assiduously because I have heard you, and even though the matter of your own speech felt like the crushing blow of a club, I am speaking to you because you have left an indelible imprint on my soul, the character of which I cannot…

  • Silly Man

    —

    A self-constructed glamour, The design flawed in that it could only trick its creator, Who wore the shroud so self-convincingly He believed it to be his own skin. Rip it from him And expose his flesh, All naked and plain like truth And though it will feel as if he is being torn to shreds,…

  • A Lesson I Must Always Relearn

    —

    I’ve found that the most difficult thing for me to reconcile is how much I am actually able to control in my own life. If something goes wrong, it must be because of my own failings. That isn’t always the case. Sometimes things fall outside the realm of my influence, whether I like it or…
