walls so thin i can hear my sister on facetime with the boy who loves her
and with the boy she loves
the call ends and for a moment, it’s silent
2am rolls around and i wake up to a phone call
ringing from two doors down
my other sister answers
and i lie awake listening to her laughter as the sun rises the next morning
i love the way he makes her laugh
call ends and the silence creeps in
7am hits and my phone starts buzzing
i go to answer when i realize
it’s just my morning alarm
i hit snooze
to sleep away the pain

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
