Life hits kind of hard, especially when you grow close to people who don't love you for who you are and feel the need to change you. Be yourself. You are worth it and never forget it. This is s small poem I wrote about going through a breakup having to be true to myself.


Every moment felt bliss

How did we get to this

Thought that we'd last forever

But now forever's not us

I'm broken and torn

You're shaken and worn

Our melodies both strong

But built with different chords

I miss the good morning texts

And your smile each night

But I can't pretend it's worth it

Throughout every fight

I wanted love for me Not despite me

Yet you just want it period

I loved you for who you were

Blessings and downfalls a myriad

We may not want the same thing

And I don't think that's wrong

Cause we might change together

But still alone we must stay strong

I held you higher than my life

Funny how things change

I started to love myself

Saw your love wasn't the same

Fact is however

I'll never wish you pain

I just hope you find love in someone

You don't feel the need to change

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
