A Form of Reality

Posted on October 24, 2023October 24, 2023 by Erin B.
Truth be told,
books are mirrors of life;
a form of reality,
the open window of reading
show precisely that
daily life is poetry.

Reality Of Life

Posted on June 10, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
I resolved myself
to the reality of life.
Day after day, week after week passed
and I found that
a change
had taken place within me.
My spirits rose, eradicating the remains
of melancholy.

Drowning

Posted on January 29, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
I sit here, drowning
in self hate and the blank hell of my primitive consciousness,
it seems too late.
I can see only the filth of my life.
Reality is what I make it.
Can I ever honestly accept how I rationalize my life?

Black and White

Posted on June 8, 2021August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
Reality is black and white,
but I rebel
against the opinion that
my selfish complex
is hypocritical.

Boy Meets Girl

Posted on April 18, 2021October 22, 2022 by Erin B.
If one looks at that unreal reality
of boy meets girl,
boy falls in love with girl;
the boy in question happens to
set the standard
for all lovers to come.
