Kingdom of Ruin


I always find peace 

in spaces 

Where nature is reclaiming what’s hers 

Watching concrete walls crumble 

From the wild vines that grow like veins 

Bringing new life to what was stagnant

Destruction can be beautiful and necessary

Nothing is permanent 

No matter how hard

You fight for it to be.

Slaying Doubt


My life has always 

Been

On the outside 

Looking in

I am learning to love

And not just exist

In my own skin

Be still in the moments

I’m riddled with

Doubts and anxiety

Letting the fear of the future

Wash away from me

The ebb and flow

Of lovingly holding 

The moments that 

Sustain me

Knowing I will be

Weathered and changed

But these storms won’t

Define me and

The rain is necessary 

To cleanse and nurture 

This garden 

That is beginning to 

Flourish around me.
