From Thoughts to Poems: An Introduction; Lost
Tripping Down Memory Lane: Paradise
wherever I am whoever I’m with my only paradise is in my mind; a myth I don’t see palm trees I see the wind blowing through I don’t see the sunny blue skies but what they could turn to the glass is always half-empty when I look to it if I […]
Pasted Mind: self-poisoning, pink
It was quite difficult to figure out which poem I wanted to use for my last collage of the summer. All the ones I had in mind were either too short, not edited enough, or so old that I didn’t like them anymore. What I ended up doing instead was combining two poems – one […]
Lo Que Siento: dissecting my insecurities
For my fifth and final post, I really wanted to dig deep into my own mind. The focus of the poem was an abstract approach to some of my insecurities and fears, and how I’ve been able not to overcome them, but manage and live with them. I remember a night when I felt as […]
Pasted Mind: aliens anonymous
If you asked me what, exactly, this poem is about, I couldn’t fully tell you. Not because it’s a grand secret or anything, just because I honestly don’t know. I love the aesthetic of space and the stars, and my dad and I are both conspiracy theorists at heart, so I think it was inevitable […]
Tripping Down Memory Lane: As I Am
from the womb to walking I’ve felt the same self-hatred stew brewing in my brain the longer I look the more I despise what stares back at me a mirror reflects lies wipe away the makeup bring forth my fears strip off my layers I’m left in tears the style I […]
Lo Que Siento: Polluted Minds
The Earth is a beautiful place, but our society is at a point where we have allowed greed, power, and wealth to take over our minds. All of this cupidity is finally taking a toll on our home, as well as our own well-being. For this week’s post, I wanted to concentrate on the beauties […]
Tripping Down Memory Lane: From Friends to Memories
deep in thought no one to think about as I lost myself everyone else tended to walk out sometimes I need you but no one is there we’re all seemingly drowning together yet it’s just me gasping for air I miss when I could run to you when tears filled up […]
Pasted Mind: pollinated in eden
If someone were to ask me which poem I’m most proud of from Sophomore year, it would be this one. I performed it for my Fall 2018 Spoken Arts show, Rights Write. It has gone through countless edits while still maintaining the same mystical, nature-y, nostalgic tone I aimed for. I wrote it about my […]
Lo Que Siento: Illusion of Equality
For this week’s post, I wanted to focus on something that has been really prominent throughout the media as well as my own life recently – gender inequality. Specifically, women having their rights stripped away, and not having the control they deserve. Just imagining a woman not having the right to her own body is […]
