Hello, hello! My name is Mariah, I am 27 years old, and I have been writing since I was 12. I dealt with many forms of abuse in my childhood, assault in my early 20's, and now chronic illness and disability. Mental illness has been a big part of my life since I was young, and poetry has been a big part of coping with everything I've been through. I love to perform my pieces, as they are so much more than just poems to me. They are pieces of my soul that I freely share with others.

Orchards

i.
I wrap my days in paper bags,
live out loud beneath blossoming trees.
Grass cradles my intentions;
fingers idling between blades of green
and quiet dandelions.
Find joy in the scent of nature,
ancient bones within the earth
giving birth...

Outside the Lines

Rolling,
you find my flesh an invitation,
evoke endless moans of anticipation
with your touch,
I am unending -
a canvas painted with your fingerprints.
Smear your colors across
the surface of my skin
and know that our dance
will imprint...

To Anyone Who Doesn't Think They're Beautiful

I'm not gonna tell you that you're beautiful
because my words could never be enough
to break the wall of glass
that you somehow think protects you.

I'm not gonna tell you that you're beautiful
because you only hear my words in a way
that...

It's very clever, open to interpretation, and tells a story. Short, sweet, and to the point. I don't quite understand what it means, but it was one of the first ones I read (and I read all of them) and it just stuck with me.
