I Dont Have a Reason Why

I came right in committed

I guess I rushed into it

I poured my heart into this

Silver charm

On my neck

But now it’s missing

And I don’t really know why

This pain is heavier than life

My pleasure that I found in yours

Is now

Lost in your

Warm blue sky

Afraid of falling backward

I search for all the answers

In books I can’t seem to locate

My words spill

Like fate

But they're so scattered

Addicted to affliction

I feel like something missing

But I don’t really have a reason why

I thought by chasing beauty

I find it through maturity

But life has ways of never giving

Reasons why

About The "Author"

I was born and raised in central New Jersey-- lovely, I know-- as a Quaker/Jewish child hybrid. I grew up with a love for reading and writing (as my dad was an English major). I lived and attended school in NJ until my sophomore year. I transitioned into a boarding school in Pennslyvania, where my passion for writing, art, performing, ACTIVISM, and (of course) poetry, flourished.

In my writing, you're going to find me. Whether that be my struggles, my thoughts, my stories, my successes, it really depends on what you decide to read. Feel free to contact me any time for questions or even just a conversation about stuff. Happy reading!
