Trouble Me
There's nothing and everything left to say, but I locked the doors and am letting the key reside in the pit of my empty stomach.
I cut the ties with my sharp tongue yet you desperately sew them back together tugging on the string attached to my broken heart. I hold onto faith you'll miraculously see the error in your ways but it's time to set down the burden of your dead weight.

People have come and taken volumes from my shelves and never returned them. I still hold the empty spaces within me.

it's as they say - you know you've
fallen in love with someone when
they become the first thing
you want to see in the morning.
i still wake up every day hoping,
once more, we can abandon the world
and spend the whole day in bed.
"a first for everything."
d.b.a

Growth is not
a straight line
nor is it a
fault line.
Growth is
a semicolon
placed where an
ellipsis
once slept.

If no one wants me
Don't worry
I exist for myself
I will take care of myself
And I will love myself
More than anything

Highest Self
time for new things
adventures and discovery
explorations and learning
practicing newfound magic
simple messages
sent by angels and guardians
whispers of wisdom
clarity from the universe
refocusing passions
redefining purpose
refining my highest self

Triolet Poem #46
You can't have cake and eat it too. You can't have two sides of a coin. If it is fake then see it through, you can't have cake and eat it too. You can try take or leave it true or meet halfway where both sides join. You can't have cake and eat it too. You can't have two sides of a coin.
"Two Sides Of A Coin", JEP

You have to have more than just knowledge and words to catch a soul in the blessed nets of seduction.
Hay que saber tener más que sólo conocimiento y palabras para atrapar a un alma en las benditas redes de la seducción.

I don’t mind getting old
but the world hates me for it
my mirror shows me hideous reflections
the men find me boring
the aunties frown, “rotting womanhood”
tragedy
I write about the same man
can’t let go of the comfort in his brown eyes
his voice, gone, but haunting
he touches me like a ghost every night
I am a fucking maniac at 3 am (chuckles)
tragedy
I am a grand failure
everyday, 6.20 pm, I stare at the subway tracks,
wondering if I jump
and see my dead father, how do I tell him
his prized daughter turned out a loser?
tragedy

another year is ending and I want you to know that it is okay if you:
have not healed from the things that happened/did not happen from six months ago. just because the year is ending it does not mean your grief is too.
don't have any "fun" NYE plans to ring in the new year. this life is yours to live across days and months and years, and you can celebrate days other than the ones heavily marketed and shoved down your throat to shroud you in severe FOMO.
have no resolutions or goals for 2024 laid out in elaborate lists or shared on social media or with your friends. you are braving through this life trying to do your best every day and hold the fort and so of course you know, deep down you know what is needed from you for you going forward and of course you are going to work in that direction. good luck love.
have not become a "better" version of yourself by any of the tangible or conventional measures. that kind of bettering is mostly to serve others, not yourself.
are not happy with yourself/your life as it is now. you're a work-in-progress, remember? and if you're progressing in a direction you do not like, then it's time to change the blueprints and the strategy.
take time off social media around this time to protect your mental health and whatever little joy you have managed to keep.
don't want to spend too much time reflecting on how this past year went and doing various forms of 2023-wrapped. again, it's your life. you can also revisit this year in memories and pictures and feelings whenever you'd like. it's not like you don't still visit 2012, 2017, and 2022, right?
feel disconnected from your friends, family, lover. I know this is "ideally" a time to be celebrated with your loved ones. but life is not ideal, is it? it's just life. and if right now you are not feeling the love, the joy, or just don't have the headspace or social energy to engage , that's alright.
are finding comfort in simpler things like a TV show from the 90s or that book you first read at sixteen or that slice of strawberry cake or a random post like this you come across.
don't feel hopeful, encouraged, or excited for 2024. given everything that's happened in the last couple of years, on the macro and micro level, it's only natural for you to feel weary as well as wary. when the good things happen, when the healing happens, when things begin working in your favour over time, you will automatically feel all those things. it's okay if until then you choose to be neutral.

let me be your coffee
for you won't find anything
tastier than me.
and I promise
to turn your wake up
into a beautiful
sleepless night.

Why do I miss you when I shouldn't? What have you done to my soul that I think of you like this? Have you enchanted me without me knowing? Was it your soulful eyes or perhaps that melancholic smile? I'm drawn to you and I can't explain it. Do you think of me too and that's what I am feeling?

there lies a strange wonder
in the space between being friends and lovers.
no labels, titles, or expectations, only pure affection.
tell me, then.
why is it that true friends last,
but lovers end up strangers in the end?
"the dichotomy of relationships."
d.b.a

There is a
scar that
lights my way.
Stumbling over
the bodies of
expired selves, I
drink home from
a plastic flask
and salivate
for the
bitter cure.
