Aftermath
PoetryA friend, a daughter, a sister.
She grinned ear to ear until she was alone–her danger zone.
Where she collected beer tabs and hid empty prescription bottles under the bed.
What was spinning in her head? I question.
All I know is that the signs felt like pinches
until they slapped me in the face.
Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention:
- Ten people will lose their lives today by suicide in Canada.
- In 2016, there were 3,926 suicides in Canada.
- Men are three times more likely to die by suicide, although women are three times more likely to try.

Discovered
PoetryYou have become a galaxy
I’d willingly escape this earth for
to see stars that refuse
to notice me here.

Going under – these are addictions
PoetryThe storm above me never fails to run out of power pushing my body.
You see, it’s like the ocean fiercely grabbing my hand,
pretending to side with me in confusion.
Eventually, I’ll go under.

One Night
PoetryL i s t e n.
Your scent wafts too many regrets for my heart to possibly grip…
but I know how to cure this:
we’ll lock ourselves away for a night
and I’ll inhale your sweet smell like it’s the only oxygen here.
These walls hold no boundaries.
