I was starving in
Pennsylvania.
One night, I had
enough.
Done with it all.
The poverty and
sickness.
The drunken mad
nights
and dog-fight days.
Brutality for breakfast.
Served sunny side up
runny yolks with
butterflies trapped in
the yellow sunshine.
Spiders built webs in
my soul.

I stood on the torn-up
couch in my living room and
yelled at the walls.

Listen, you devil.
You want me, you better be
ready for a fight.
I paced the floor like a
washed-up heavyweight champ,
eyeing the ceiling like a
drunken sparrow in a cat's mouth.

Life, the Movie

Life, the Movie

We talk about the
past like it's a
movie we
watched together.
You liked the
cinematography.
I didn't care for the
cruelty of the
protagonist.

We disagree on the
theme, and every
scene holds different
aspects of
symbolism for us.
I'm not sure I want
there to be a sequel,
despite the good
acting.

not poetry, not art, just a proof of existence

modern rock alien

not poetry, not art, just a proof of existence

my vines will grow and cover it all

im 17
and i am at the edge of an undefined unrest

i still don't know what i want in life

i want to become something...... i think?

or i want to completely be nothing,,, run somewhere far away
maybe?

or walk into belligerent traffic

maybe i just want to create

but anything i touch is only reserved for me

my existence is a place where only i can access it

my love so small it spills only within the crevices of the earth
and only there --i can be found

i don't know anything in this world but this moment

i don't know anything but what i feel inside right now

and right now i am unknowable!

entering senior year! wow! i dream to vanish! not to die, maybe? but really,,, i don't desire death, just nonexistence... at least 5 minutes??? idkkkk!! i just don't feel real :3333

Graceful and beautiful,
Mended and happy,
Perfect and prideful,
Stunning and remembered-

Unlike me

More than beautiful things

More than beautiful things

All this jewellery,
What for can it be?

Earrings you got at birth,
What are they worth?
They are with you
Always

Exchanging friendship bracelets,
The expectations it sets.
Best friends
Forever

Necklaces from family,
Might not know what you see.
They’re still there for you
Truly

Engagement and wedding rings,
More than beautiful things.
Boyfriends, girlfriends—lives entwine,
Becoming husbands, wives in time.

I guess what I meant to say was: everything has a meaning

to be seen

to be seen

I want to be seen not looked at
I want someone to see me
To see everything between the lines
Flaws
Scars
And perfections-if there are any
To see is different from to look
Sometimes we look but we do not see
But is it truly what I want?
And if they do not like what they see,
What then would happen?
To open up to someone is the greatest form of intimacy.
To see what has been hidden from view for so long
To be seen beyond looks
To be valued beyond words
To be praised
Appreciated
understood
And
Seen.

I haven't posted in a while been busy with school.
how is June coming along for everyone?

Am revelling

Improbable
Borderline impossible,
To have think she'll even consider me
Oh yes !
She did, she agreed to my T&Cs
Only me she'll see
Now she's mine
Mine to mind, the one who took a while to find
Truly beautiful, one of a kind

Chaos isn't Cute

Chaos isn't Cute

You were worried about
the storm, so you
invited it in,
wanting to control the
damage through your
kindness and friendship.
But you can't.
The storm doesn't have
a conscience.
It will never be a cute
pet on your leash.
