The beast is real.
And it manipulates the way we feel.
Instead of looking for the good in people,
we look for the bad and find ourselves
loving them anyway.
Because we’re under the impression
that if you don’t have a story,
you’re not a victim to pain.
As if those who get wet when it rains
are stronger than those who use an umbrella.
In a world of hurt,
we can’t all be Cinderella and we know that.
So we think to ourselves,
Take the good with the bad.
And that is our first mistake.
Because then no matter how many times
they make us sad or mad,
we throw it over our shoulder
the one time they make us happy.
And the cycle goes on and on.
It’s becoming a real phenomenon.
And I am guilty of this.
But not a victim to it.
Anymore.

As it says in my tagline: I'm just a writer writing about love because that's what all the cool kids are falling into these days. However, the type of love I write about is based more on the likeliness of modern day heartbreak. I originally started this blog as an outlet for therapy. I believe writing soothes the mind and allows us to express our feelings, which is exactly what I do here -- but in the form of poetry and spoken word pieces. I began writing in 2016 and I like to think the content I put out is relatable and hard-hitting since there's nothing new under the sun. You'll come to find I struggle a lot but without struggles, there is no growth, and believe me, I am growing.
Slowly, I am working towards publishing my own works. Gallimaufry (one of the categories here on my blog) is one of them. I'm also in the process of writing, "war & peace", "where two hearts unify as one", & "i sold my heart to buy yours".
Until then, feel free to linger around and read a few of my pieces; if you like what you see, be sure to hit the follow button at the bottom of my page to keep up with my posts and like & comment as you wish!
Other than that, thank you for reading my About Me page!
I'll be seeing you,
B.K. Laurel
