Another Coffee Shop

March 7th, 2026

It’s been a while
Since I went somewhere to write
I’m going through the motions
Fawn, freeze, fight, and flight
When I think that I’ll be okay
I start to lose my sh*t
I saw a future with someone who left
That’s not something I can forget
When things become too real
People run away
Stuck in this pattern
No one ever stays
But I will keep trying
I refuse to concede
I know that I’m worth it
One day someone won’t leave 

Fairy Tales

August 12th, 2024

I have spent all year
Keeping myself at a distance
Loving at an arm’s length
Embracing resistance
Never putting in more effort
Than someone else
Not letting people know me
Or being my true self
Because the last person
That I let myself close to
Left like I was no one
Memories I can’t redo
Now the people I talk to regularly 
Don’t even know my name
I met them through gaming
And they know me as Grimm
