When I Grow Up
when i grow up
i want to be
an astronaut,
an author,
a magician
as a child, it was
easy to dream
of anything
a doctor,
a scientist,
a teacher
the world is vast
and full
of possibilities
now a grown woman,
my heart just wants
to be happy
but disappointingly,
happiness is elusive and
life is a sadist
that takes pleasure
in my agony
so in a world where
we can be anything
i became a masochist

We need you! Be kind to yourself. You are a contributor to this amazing world. The words in your writings scared me. 🙏🏼 Peace.
I'm just having a tough year. Thank you for the kind words.
in another universe
i hope
i am happy enough,
confident enough,
strong enough
to be alone

happy thoughts, they tell me,
"fill your head with happy thoughts"
oh, how i wish to
but the thing is,
my mind
is already crowded
and my demons
won't let any of these
"happy thoughts"
ruin their own
idea of a "merry-go-round"

my september, a dream,
a swift kiss, a muffled scream
a coin rolling in a dark alley,
waiting,
waiting
to be picked
by someone
drowned in melancholy,
my september, like the thread
of hope
i was clinging to somehow
escaped with the
thoughts squeezing
my weary mind,
and i'm here still
trying-
trying my best
to figure
it out
-september, katie
