Shes agonizing over endless amounts of stressed out people, stretched so thin they’re fresh out of heart and filled up with sin.

Her lessons go unlearned when her pain goes unheard, and unspoken words hurt her more than words spoken to the world.

It’s the unknown that works its way in, filling the gaps and cracks of this fucked up world she’s just trying to survive in. And It’s only a few who thrive, so why do they have so much control over her, you and I?
It’s a question we’ll be asking until the day we die, only then when it comes will we realize it was all a lie. They led us to our death without batting an eye, it’s a viscous cycle we can’t escape no matter how hard we try.

And I know some will question my intentions as they turn a blind eye to the words I write. And believe me I get it, I would too if I wasn’t willing to open my untainted eyes.

But those are hard to find when indoctrination has already incapacitated our youthful minds.

Just love one another everyday, until the end of time.

A chance was taken, limits pushed.
A broken heart was never in the stars.
Then again, stars burn hot and then out.
Breathe, just breathe! Just fucking ahhh fuck it.
What’s the point, breathing hurts.
A broken switch can’t be flipped.
All emotions are dismissed, goodbye to you.
The only flicker is during the storms when the wind howls and the lightning strikes close, connections are shorted out. This is what they call the “perfect storm”. When the Sun shines it will be a new day, a new me, a new nothing. Because nothing is whet I prefer, empty, hollow, descending deeper into my core. The heat, the stench, the taste of my emptiness is what I crave.

The forest whispers to me, it’s calling my name. The river ripples, with eternal change. The suns shimmer inspired me on this day, crossing words with peace, in the silence so sweet. J. Steele ©️2025

There is a calm feeling after the storm passes through, a softening of the stones at the end of a rainbow’s hue. Drifting into the night, the sun sets, preparing for the creation of the cool morning dew. And in that time I will be at peace, dreaming of my love for you.

Yesterday was the first time I’ve been on a stage in front of people since I was forced to be on a stage in front of people performing a skit in the 6th grade for the D.A.R.E. Program. It was a 6th grade class field trip learning about the history of the Embassy theatre. I know It’s kind of stupid, but really big for me. It was a bunch of sixth graders and 6 teachers and 8-10 staff as well as another parent watching.
