One emotion
never leaving
hidden away in the back corner
behind the sofa, or bookshelf
somewhere usually out of sight
but everyone knows
they sense it
it is an ever noticeable presence
it lurks
as it lurks
it feeds
off everyone it touches
other emotions surface
but it smothers them
it engulfs everything
it pulls in the wearer
as you wear the emotions
it consumes you
till nothing is left but,
One emotion

Let my scars be songs

God, I am your daughter. From the start you’ve molded me. My path and life in sight, shaping my destiny. You don’t make bad things happen, but you just can’t stop it all. From all the bruises and scars, you are writing my worships songs. Let me sing to you, with every single breath. Let me draw nearer to you, with every single step. And again I say oh lord, displaying all my scars to see. I am imperfectly perfect! Just how you envisioned me.

Do you feel the same?

I'm still just so lost Can't believe my sadness You shouldn't leave What can I say? I never felt this way Tried to ignore it for months I can't hide no more Maybe it's too late? My blush increases every second You know I like someone But you don't know it's you Maybe it's true? You make me smile I talk happily with you With you I feel safe and happy Do you feel the same?

you'll never go away

I feel betrayed. I feel put down. And I feel burnt out. I harbor many doubts. About you, and about myself Only here would I dare let them out. I hate you ! Or at least... I want to. After you abandoned me for a seeded life, When I was still only a sprout. ...But that is not why I am angry. I loved you. Every screaming inch Every bellowing note you sprang I stood by in your favor And then I didnt I hate you! Or at least I should When you beckoned me t

Irretrievably Broken

What can you do when the person who is supposed to love you the most doesn't care at all? What should you do when the person who is supposed to have your back at all times stabs you in it instead? What does it say when all the people who were supposed to be friends to both of you kept their silence? I may forgive one day, but I will never trust again.

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

Depression eats away at you. You can try to hide it, but everyone knows anyway. It consumes you till all that's left is emptiness, loneliness, hopelessness.
