When you listen to others
Talk about attractive people
You think about the last time
Someone thought you were attractive
You realize it’s been so long
You don’t remember when it was
It’s never fun listening
And feeling alienated
By all your friends and crushes
Making you feel invisible
How would it brighten your day
If someone told you, you looked nice
From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
Too much can be overwhelming
Setting anxiety on fire
I disabled cell phone notifications
It created too much noise
I don’t see anything
Until I open the apps
I keep sound and vibrations off
All those distractions
While in a crowd
Sends me into a panic attack
So much noise in a busy world
I just want silence
From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
There’s an energy of hate
Pulsating through the world
And everyone blames someone else –
The truth is – they hate themselves –
They have no compassion because
They feel no self-compassion
They have no self-love –
You can’t love anyone
Until you love yourself
And hating someone does not
Give you the right to hurt them –
No one has the right to hurt anyone
So, stop hurting yourself and others
From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
