Freedom Cry by K Hoffman
A cry fills the night It is mine I am crying for freedom Freedom from this life But my cries fall on deaf ears And my body keeps on living Even after my soul has died

Someone to Love by K Hoffman
How do you get someone to love you? I want to hold your hand. I want to feel your lips against mine. I want to feel your body next to mine. I love to be near you. I don’t want you to leave. When you do I feel so empty. I eagerly await the good-bye…

You’re a Bitch by K Hoffman
You’re such a bitch. You’re such a bitch. You’re a terrible, ugly, Horrible witch. Get out of my face. Stay out of my life. I don’t want you To be my wife. I don’t want to be Seen with you any more. So leave me alone, Hurt, pacing the floor. You’re still a bitch. You’re…

The Cemetery by K Hoffman
The cold rough stone Crudely engraved With the name of A soul unsaved. Buried here in Hallowed ground. I wonder how this Place he found. His life was ended By his own hand. Now he lies in The dust and sand. He’ll never see the sunrise Or hear a bird sing Or taste the joy…

You Don’t Care by K Hoffman
You don’t care what you say Or that you’re hurting me You just say what you think That you don’t like What you see And all I’m trying to say Is let me be myself Don’t hide me away or Make me sit on a shelf You say I’m odd or strange That I’m the…

Lost My Shit by Liz Martelli
I lost my shit tonight On the floor in the middle of the Pleasantville Inn I woke up in the hands of strangers Worried and concerned And they didn’t even know me. Compassion transcends this awkward Situation, I guess. Me, regaining consciousness, Cracking jokes flat on my back Amber, terrified, whiter than A bottle of…

By Any Other Name by Liz Martelli
By any other name, I’d still be a writer It’s in my heart, my blood, my fingers Nouns and adjectives, metaphors And similes pound through my veins. The way some kids get math, I get writing The way some cats can pick up a guitar And just know what to do, I can wield a…

Untitled by Liz Martelli
You never learn to be a good person You either are or you aren’t Always born with an old soul, Recycled and wise, Able to detect the same in others, We are a rare breed Prone to mental, emotional strife Prone to feeling too deeply, Drowning in it You can’t let it overwhelm you, This…

The Thick of It by Liz Martelli
In the thick of it, It’s too dense to make Out the mistakes before You commit to them But there’s always an out, A loophole you can slip Through when shit Gets rough. In the thick of it, The blur that is It happening Can be indistinguishable From the general static and Hum of the…
