Adrenaline

 My love for you was like the adrenaline coursing through my veins, it was fleeting and momentary but it had me crawling back to you even after you left me wounded on the floor.

But they cradled me, yes? (Poem)

I cry a lot At least every 1-2 business days Sometimes I plan out my mental breakdowns I have time after class on Tuesday evenings but Thursdays are all booked This world is full of a lot of hurt Hurt that was blessed to me the moment I entered it Hurt that was cursed to me the moment I said "Hi" Hurt given to me as a gift, in a red paper bag with glitter Hurt, I’ve given others as hatred spewed before love ever did And it’s given me a trauma-filled liver Kidney stones that make believe that some things will never pass My central artery veins are all clogged up with things that lead directly to my heart My head often forgets my rights and lefts and who loves me when I am weak Even with my body failing and my head forgetting It never made me angry It never made me cold It never turned my heart into a concrete statue, as if it’s something to be admired Nothing in this world could take away my softness My plush cheeks hurt from smiling too much My heart that’s tattooed on my ski...

When He handcrafted the droop of ...

Imago Dei (Poem)

When I think of the Imago Dei, how we are made in the image of God I like to think that skinned knees were part of the package That Jesus Christ, He had skinned His knees from playing with the neighborhood boys Or maybe He just spent too much time on His knees in front of His bed talking to His Father I like to think that Jesus also had a freckle on His left arm just above His wrist Or that Jesus had a cut on the upper part of His jaw when He shaved for the first time I like to think that Jesus would think tattoos were cool but would never get them  I like to believe that Jesus loves the phrase “heart on His sleeve” because if He’s anything like me, He too wears His heart on His sleeve If Jesus is anything like me He suffered from facial erythema from crying too much  I wonder if Jesus had green eyes that had spots of orange and brown when He was happy I wonder if He understood the tightness of skin when bloating and the sag from starving I wonder if Jesus ever looked up at th...
