inward we go.
sometimes, i envy those who have faith. the ones who blindly believe there is a grander scheme for their lives regardless of how dark everything gets. that vulnerability cloaking them with tendrils of bravery enveloping their fragility.
please excuse my brain, it functions differently. please excuse my tongue, it words things differently. please excuse my spirit, it wanders off at times it needs space. i wish to say things in a way you can understand but there are battles to be won and battles to raise white flags for shared peace. someday i'd like to have that emotion gun they had in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy so somehow you can have an inkling of what it's like to be in my shoes.
the stomach knows how much emotions we bottle up. it knows how many litres of tears we spend pushing back every bit of hurt inside tiny paper packages that gets dropped in the vault of your brain, while hoping and wishing they never ever find their way back (but they do, oh they do) to the surface.
the stomach cannot however distinguish which pain is which most of the time so it's either a trip upright or you settle your head upside down.

i flutter, i flit, i fly --
i ride the rolling highs,
to keep the tides from rising.
settle, heart, settle.
leave me, my body face up
my eyes wide open
to receive the sky
tall grass around me
and carrion birds ready
to devour my insides
every bone and sinew
until all evidence
is obscured from view
thank you @mindgroovinrocketman ! funny how you managed to draw this with me in the same room! haha here’s to more birthdays celebrated together~✨ i love you!
still one of my favorite artworks from you @mindgroovinrocketman ily.
how sad it is
that the things we used to love
when we are angry and hopeless
turns into the things we detest--
like little smiles and endearing gestures
become hooks and chains
that disable us
good mornings and hellos
become garbled noise
and connections that were once
ribbons tied around our fingers,
become the noose we hang
our disappointments.
i do not want this darkness
to tell my heart it is wrong
to love fiercely
i want to see the sunshine
through the storm
to see the hope and the good
in the people we love
i choose to see the glass half full
and never running on empty
because even a droplet in an ocean of tears
is just as important as our fears
so i will hold everything
and everyone to the same
kind of love i want for myself.
i built my walls up
and made a house
of glass
a long time ago
a wolf came by
and knocked
and i let it through
my house
tumbled to the ground.
i will build it again
with iron and stone
i will build it again,
i will.
no matter how hard life gets
remain soft
remain kind
don't let hate
devour your mind
be the light
be the love
shine bright through the darkest night
i want to learn how
to be--
enough.
for the days
when there is less
and for days
when there is more
for enough means--
just right.
nothing less,
nothing more.
i think i wanna die, please tell me when it's over.
it would best if i disappeared. well.
come back beautifully, with poetry and with song; stars in your eyes and sweetness on your tongue.
Facts About You #25
I love you, forever and a day. That will never change.
@mindgroovinrocketman
the thing about sadness and pain is that, they burrow in the nooks and crannies of your being and you spend a lifetime trying to fish them out. sometimes you're not aware they're there. sometimes they're like acquaintances, dropping by unexpectedly, to the house of happiness you've built. sometimes they're lovers who rile you up in the middle of the night. sometimes they're even old friends who know you and sit with you on a sidewalk as you silently lean on their shoulder. all the same, they are friends and they are foes. they need to be loved in order to go.
the ocean of tears.
