A place where you can be human.
This thin skin can’t tolerate much
It’s like paper
I used to look for bandaids
I used to wrap up in layers so no one could see
But there’s no poetry in that
And what’s a poet with no poetry
So here I am professing my sadness
My thin skin
And
My desire for more layers
-Saschia
Maybe this is all there is
But the maybe
That’s what keeps me focused
The maybe there’s just as little bit more
Or a lotta bit more
I think it’s worth hangin on
To a maybe
-Saschia
Dance with me
Shift
Change positions
With me
Let’s get lost
And find you in me
And me in you
Let’s work together
To make sure
We both get through
Cuz life can be a shithole
Or it could be a beautiful dance
With just me and you
-Saschia
I’m tired
I continue to sacrifice sleep
And the tired is getting to me
Getting tired of being mature
Of being conscious
Of being awake
It’s tiring to focus on my own growth
To focus on the development of my character
Especially, when I’m just too tired
But we do it, right
We continue the trudge
The good fight
Because life without a fight
Is just dead and we aren’t dead
So fight
And keep fighting
-Saschia
It’s a weird think letting go
You can say it all you want
But like forgiveness
It’s something you have to do
Painfully slow
Accepting that is the hard part
-Saschia
I am my own vessel
At all times
I am capable
of navigating the open ocean
I can be the captain
And face the storm
Or
I can let someone else
Lead my vessel
That choice is always
Mine
-Sasch
Sometimes it’s as simple as visiting your your grandmother
Or chewing the same flavor gum you chewed in highschool
But most times it’s letting go of something you’re not ready to let go of
And that’s the simple truth we should be clinging to
-Sasch
Ah he stopped
And for the briefest moment
He connected
And retraced his steps
If that’s not enlightenment
I don’t know what is
Well, truth is
I don’t know much of anything
I just know he connected
-Sasch
Love is an act not a feeling
The feeling is anxiety
Same feeling you get on a roller coaster
Or right before you’re about to speak
When I say love, I’m referring to the verb.
I will love myself with actions
I will love you with my actions
It’s a bonus when you get both the actions and the words. 👏👏

Hiding in peace
No, not hiding
Just put away
in no special order
Head on her shoulders
Hips below her waist
But her mind it’s in the books
And late night conversations
It’s searching
out in the open
While everything else
Is not hiding
No, not hiding
Just put away
in no special order
-Saschia
