Welcome!

Shae O'Brien grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and it has bred her to have a love for music, coffee, the ocean, and rain. Her love for writing was planted at a young age, with the encouragement of beautiful family and inspiring teachers, and grew into a passion she cannot go a day without. During the day, Shae is also an English teacher, promoting the art of the written word among the youth of Austin. Her writing has been featured in publications such as Off The Wookie, AIPF Di-verse-city Anthology 2012, and TWENTY: Poems In Memoriam. She recently self-published her first chapbook, "Truths Unspoken", which takes the reader on a poetic journey through the passion, love, heartbreak, and rebirth of a relationship. You may find her on any given night writing or performing her work around Austin, TX.

Words Unspoken

Crisp clean cuts of words


Shred my arguments into

ar

gu

me

nts


Fluttering down


Into the dark silence between us.


I try to pick them up off the awkward space


And piece them back together before you


But the five second rule seems to apply


And I am not quick enough to make the time.


So instead we say nothing


As you proudly bask in what you think is resign


And I softly cry out truths unspoken.


Someday the tears will be too heavy


And crash down on our love
With a loud goodbye.
