“the ways in which the metaphors speak and dance to me when it comes to Icarus

he’s the blues and the greens and the purples

Icarus is cool colors

cool toned

he knows

he knew

he knows.”

Hello Everyone!

Today is the first day of the weeklong strike for a ceasefire in Gaza.

I have realized that I do not think the message has spread far, at least on this website. This might be due to the lack of internet in Gaza, it has been down for days. Not much can be said by the citizens there, it's like some people forgot about them. I encourage all of you to share this post, or make your own, letting everyone know about this strike. This is something that should transcend the aesthetic of your blog. My blog was a gimmick blog, but for this week, it is a blog for spreading information and awareness.

Bisan Odwa (@wizard_bisan1 on instagram) has called for this strike. She is a journalist from Gaza, who has been experiencing this horrid violence for 15 weeks. 107 days. 2568 hours.

These were the images she posted, calling for this strike:

Reblog this, share this. Do not stop until every supporter of Gaza knows what we must do this week.

Free Palestine, Free Gaza, Ceasefire now!

I’m on a tightrope

I’m loving it

it’s exhilarating

it makes me feel alive again

i’m soaring now

up in the clouds

far from earth with one way down

the crash that’s coming

might be the one

I might fall too hard too fast

and with nothing to grasp

breathe my final breaths

Relapse

The darkness swirled inside threatening to spill out from every pore on my body.

The darkest of thoughts running to the forefront of my mind,

Daring me to do the worst of things.

Telling me it'll feel better,

I'll feel better once it's done.

The dark void,

Swallowing me up as if I was a small piece of bread.

I was nothing but a vulnerable,

Weak person,

Who couldn't fight for themselves.

I was losing the battle once more with no light in sight.

This could be my last battle with the darkness that resides inside.

returning to the woods

to your home

to your roots

a place to heal and grow and love

you ripped yourself to pieces before they could do it for you and you returned as an overwhelming storm made up of components they couldn’t comprehend let alone control and you brought them to their knees forced their eyes to meet your multitude and then you scorched the earth they kneeled on

INDIGO,

I’M SORRY

I KNOW TO SOME EXTENT

YOU KNOW THIS HURTS

IT ACHES

IT SPITS IN YOUR FACE

AND DRAGS YOU DOWN

TO DARK PLACES

I LOVE YOU

I ADMIRE YOU TOO

IF CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT

IF I WAS STILL ME

AND YOU WERE STILL YOU…

I GUESS I GOT ATTACHED

BUT I THINK YOU DID TOO

I DON’T THINK YOU REALIZE

THE ENERGY YOU EXUDE

I HAVEN’T MET SOMEONE

THAT FELT SO SAFE

SO SOON
