I didn’t mean to let my fingers slip.
I had my life gathered in salt-stained glass jars,
laced with coffee-grind drifters and blood-thrifted stress.
I’m standing in shatters I haven’t swept,
lost in sharp […]

They say these years are where you find yourself—
but mind yourself, they don’t tell you where to look.
I tried to search in mirrors, but I fear they seem far fiercer
when scattered scars and freckles are the […]

Wow. I don’t quite have the words–wow!

It’s interesting, isn’t it?
How teachers often tell us
that any question is a bright question,
and a good question’s only job is to be asked.
But kindergarten was sixteen years ago,
and my teachers don’t […]

I don’t remember living without this doubt.
Confidence was suspicious,
like the shadows of dark streets that I never dared wander.
Certainty was the friend I watched others get to know,
wondering if she w […]

Such an honest and poignant poem! It’s so lovely how the reader enters the poem with loose screws…and leaves the poem with the screws finding their place. Comforting.

Yesterday was an ordinary day.
I don’t mean that I spent it
marching through the mundane,
looking for glimpses of something new
to steer me off my road of routine.
I mean that I never lifted my head to c […]

I have to give a speech this term—
and, frankly, I’m afraid.
It’s not my form of fun,
and now I’m speaking for a grade.
I have to give a speech this term
and share my thoughts aloud.
They say it’s just like […]

I love this! 😍

I straighten my back, and shoulder blades
take on a new meaning.
Tension stretches its hands around my neck
and claws my skin at the same time—
like twisted thorns clinging to the seams in my shirt.
I laugh s […]

This poem stopped me in my absentminded article-browsing and forced me to give thanks to God– for the poem itself and for the message it contains. Both are beautiful.

This is perfect, Cindy. This captures so much and expresses pain so well. Beautiful. 💕
I’m a little late in reading this, but this is beautiful, Cindy. Thank you for your precious words, my brave girl. <3
This is so good and relatable! I love this analogy for making mistakes, and I’m glad that you mentioned the feeling of being too fragile for a rough world. You’ve put into words what many people might feel but struggle to express.
