Sideways days
upside down
Me as a disappointment to myself
The lift from within the jolt
The awkward flow
fills my mind
-Saschia
Alive
I chain myself to things I love most
And free myself from anything else
Sometimes the chains weigh me down
But what is pure love without the weight of chains
And the freeing it aches real bad
Because even though I don’t let those things chain me
The desire for them will always be there.
-Saschia
Human Lips
Fingers intertwined
Locked into submission
From some irresistible urge
Don’t pretend you don’t feel it
The pull
Ignore the fear and the doubt
Feel the ocean
Taste the breeze
Close your eyes
And fucking kiss me
-Saschia
Bared Bones
Bare bones splinter
A man voices his disregard
An ache low and bitter
Sits in my blood
The uplift
The drop
The dazed eyes searching for something
They always knew
-Saschia
Safe
Tucked under my blankets
The doors are locked
The kids have kissed foreheads
And warm toesies
Safe from the cold damp night
-Saschia
I’m Home
The lights turn on
I’m on my way home
Stripped bare
In a constant state of reflection
The web
The red connections
And moments that were always
meant to be
-Saschia
This is Who
I watched her rise above
I watched her question who she really was
And demand who she would become
She didn’t sit still for a moment longer
She pushed through and persevered
And now her home is quiet
And still
She worked for this peace
She stepped out and stood tall
And worked til her inside matched her outside
Til her life matched her dreams
This is her lifelong journey of becoming
This is who she is destined to be
♡ Saschia
Steady
The ground freezes
I’d have lost my footing
But over the years I left pebbles
And words and stories
To hold me steady
I still fall
But I land on poetry
I don’t think there is anything more artistic
Than landing on poetry
-Saschia
The world will swallow you whole without a thought
It will take your possessions
Your goals
Your plans for the future
And chew it all like a cow chews cud
So plant your roots
Find your soul
And be true to who you are
There’s no other way
-Saschia
Only You
The spins
The darkness
The caving in
I don’t expect anyone to understand this
But you
You’ll make it
I promise you
We’ll light the way together
I’ll light the way for you
Don’t waste your time
Doubting whether this is right
Changing bad habits
Never feels right
-Saschia
