Update

Hello everyone,

I started writing again around two years ago when I went back to school. Having a pencil and paper in front of me at all times helps to inspire me. Before that, I wrote consistently from learning to write up until I received my Associate’s Degree in 2012. Writing has always been my passion, but I never make enough time for it. I decided to change that with this blog. I have officially posted all my favorites of my 2017 poetry, and I have watched my blog views climb for the last few weeks.

I am going to continue posting until I have officially caught up, and then I will integrate some of my older poetry into the mix. If you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you. Thank you everyone for your support!

Sincerely,
Karissa

Let Go

December 13th, 2017

After many days
This is starting to feel worse
What once was my cure
Now feels like a curse
After many days
I still feel confused
I’m drowning in secrets
I don’t know what to do
After many days
I still don’t know
I’m hanging on a cliff
But I can’t let go

Diary

December 1st, 2017

The days are coming to an end
How many more are left
Every page I get a little closer
Do you see the conclusion
I am so close to it
Are you ready
Ready for the finale
You can feel it approaching
Over the course of a year
Finally coming to a close
I’m dating each page as it ends
And I still don’t know why I held on
Vocally I will never express these feelings
Endings are the only constant I understand
