New post every day @ 2pm CT! Sometimes I write silly things and sometimes I write fluffy things, but I always follow back.

Prompt: “Sadness is...”

Sadness is a heavy cloud. It is

The curling snake that writhes in the sunlight,

That feeds off droplets of misery

And turns bright eyes into chalky coals.

It is the push off the cliff, the

Downward rush that tells you

“It can’t get worse than this,”

Knowing full well, in its infinite wisdom,

That “Oh, yes it can” is the only possible end.

How lonely a single note is.

But there is reliability in singleness

and loveliness in the lonely.

drunken nights

stark sober days

what a goddamn dichotomy

[hell0p0etry-blog]

sustained notes

a concert hall filled to the brim with

an old man’s idea,

his dream of tranquility,

and his reality of torment.

today he smiles

as his son commands a clarinet

and a hall

with those sustained notes

[hell0p0etry-blog]

we lock eyes from across the stage

(i played upon it last year and he was a prince)

and i know from that heated glance that

if anyone can make me surrender

it’s you

Common End

Putrid love, clinging flesh

Nicotine in our blood,

we take to sleep

and wake in blackness

Ashy spots on your neck

(thumbprints deep)

A bruise between my thigh

(a love letter)

and no memory of how I ever came to know you

Breakup #10

kind, yet firm you're positively wonderful beside you i do believe that we can have it all in your shadow i lose my way from the gallows i walk alone and I'm afraid

Breakup #9

You kissed me the first time you saw me And I thought, with pride swelling in my chest, "Here is my lover"

What child’s play, what a goddamn circus There was never a fulfilling moment between us

Breakup #8 (Bitterness)

I loved you when no one else cared And I Thought about you when I wasn't the only girl on your mind

[hell0p0etry-blog]

Breakup #7 (Doubt)

One second passes, one moment gone swish

I stagger home late, one leg shaking as I stand under the lone street light

And I wish

For a Love Everlasting, for a friendship of skin

For an escape from this predicament I’m in

I muster the strength to leave light’s glow

Hooded eyes need not open, I already know

The answer to my Most Important question:

When will I be good enough for someone?

The wind sighs cold in my ears, “Ignore it, move on”

But ‘tis only a suggestion

Breakup #6

When you told me, "You deserve someone who..." I could only hear my own self-doubt echoed once again from the lips of men What a fucking disappointment

[hell0p0etry-blog]

Breakup #5

You say you don't want me But, Maybe if you held me in the flesh Once more You'd change your tune

[hell0p0etry-blog]

Breakup #4

I talked about you to everyone, I mean it My own best friend, the hardass, said you were good for me I look like a fool 'cause we were so short-lasting Can I not hold down a man for even two months?

[hell0p0etry-blog]

Breakup #3

I guess you left me months ago You checked out, mentally, but never told me so Left me to pick up the pieces of your twisted little game If you didn't want a goddamn relationship you shouldv'e said so

[hell0p0etry-blog]

Breakup #2

When I told­­­ you I loved you That I'm an anxious, shitty per­son but that I do my best When I bared my soul and let you see me as I've never shown anyone else You fucking left

[hell0p0etry-blog]

Five languages?! You're my hero!

Ja, ich lerne gern Sprachen für Spaß <3

今年、わたしは　ドイツ語クラスが　あります。

No tengo mucho más--otro que escribir--que puedo hacer bíen, pero soy alemaña y panameña y tengo la característica única que me permite a aprender muchas lenguas en un tiempo.

Right now, I’m focusing on achieving conversational (i.e. casual) fluency with German and Japanese, and furthering my fluency in Spanish. I’m also self-teaching Esperanto and Greek/Macedonian, and sometime this year I’d like to pick up Vietnamese or Hmong and ASL.

Language is what I do best! I’m not great at a lot of things, but I think I can do this one thing pretty well :)

Return!

Hello all,

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Each year I start off thinking I’ll be able to maintain this blog along with 5 languages, 2 majors, 2 jobs, and something that resembles a social life.

Each year I am proven wrong.

This September has been quite the tough nut to crack but October brings cold winds and positive changes. I’m optimistic about finishing 2016 with some semblance of sanity, hah!

Thanks for sticking with me! I hope y’all can relate to some of the Breakup pieces. I’m trying out something new in my personal life so let’s hope there’s no more breakups in the near future!

Let’s break this Breakup streak with a writing prompt, shall we? Let’s write towards a positive New Year.

It’s good to be back! Thanks for the love while I was away.

Chill,

L
