When Petals Fall

I bloomed where the light was borrowed
Your shadow felt like shelter
The seasons changed without warning
I learned to bend without breaking
Still…pieces of me fell quietly
I held on long after the spring had gone
Until the wind carried away what I could not release
And in the silence…I began again

Meadow’s Mask

She hammered grass against her skin
to hide the darkness trapped within
A garden grown so none would see
the tangled roots of her true being

The blooms were bright, the silence deep
a mask she wore so she could keep
their judgment soft, their gaze away
while pieces of her wilted gray

BORROWED TIME

Here I stand, with trembling hand
Feeding the past, what once was mine
Watching forever fall to sand
The silent cost of borrowed time

They hurled their fire through the sky
hoping it would scorch her name
Their words were stones wrapped up in flame
their silence colder than the blame

Yet still she stood, no scream, no plea
just ash and ember in her stare
For hate, she learned, can burn the giver
long before it singes air

I made this sketch a couple years ago after I got into a little tiff with my boss. It was the way they looked at me, the way they spewed their words at me with so much hate and disgust, the way they made me feel so stupid over something so insignificant. It completely shocked me and in that moment I truly felt like they were a fireball heading right towards me and all I could do was stare.

The weird pictures I take VS the weird pictures I make 🤣
