I was drowning before I met you.
Submerging into the depths of my despair.
And despite your love, I stayed there.
Counting the seconds until I could no longer hold my breath
And you tell me to breathe
But it’s harder than it seems.
I take one look into the mirror
And let my wild thoughts run free
Let my thoughts be the anchor that is tied to my feet
Sink into the deep
But I am not a submarine
I will never make it.
But one kiss and you give me a taste of what the surface looks like.
And so I think to myself,
Maybe I won’t drown
after all.

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
